Hanon x Asics Gel Lyte III 'Wildcats'

The Gel Lyte III has been a consistent feature on the trainerspotting blog in 2011 and for good reason, with a plethora of collaborations it has only sought to amplify this shoes impression on sneaker culture. Hanon are no strangers to Asics collaborations and this is in my opinion there most polished effort to date. Inspired by the local 'Wildcats' running club of Hanons home town of Aberdeen the two tone colorway is brilliant. With perforated nubuck toebox which was the preferred style of recent Ronnie Fieg collabs, 3M tiger stripes a trio of laces and a cotton dust bag this looks to be a highlight of the year end, available instore and online on 28th Oct....

Ronnie Fieg x Asics 'Salmon Toe'

Out of all the Ronnie Fieg x Asics collaborations over the last few years none have been more coveted by myself than the 'Salmon Toes'. Having been a sample pair that were given away via his blog it is a colorway that blew my mind. I had all but resided myself to the chance of ever owning these until this week. As part of RF's new store project they will see a general release along with the 'Leather Backs'. Enjoy the teaser and the shot that started my obsession...

Atmos x Asics Gel Lyte III

The Asics Gel Lyte III continues to dominate this year with Atmos Japan dropping another highly loveable colorway. What I always seem to forget is that this shoe is actually one of the most technologically forward shoes in running. The split tongue was designed specifically to reduce unnecessary strain on the top of the foot during long distances and with a triple-density compression moulded midsole for excellent rear foot shock absorption these are as much at home during a marathon as they are walking to the shop. And with an original Batmanesc black and gold upper and one of my favourite design features the splatter effect midsole these are definitely a rival for RF's releases this year...

Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel-Lyte III “Mint” Preview

I really don't need to wax lyrical about the talent of Ronnie Fieg, as they say actions speak louder than words. These are rumoured to be his last David Z exclusive release which will not only make the overseas fans happy because I can imagine seeing more releases in Europe but also making them probably the most sought after pair to date, a pair of these will be mine no doubt...

Ronnie Fieg x Asics G-T II 'Ultra Marine'

The imperious Ronnie Fieg is back in the game this time taking a step back from the Gel Lyte III which has brought him so much praise and has taken another model from the archive. The G-T II is a great looking sillouette and using his familiar materials with both perforated and standard nubuck suede in ultra marine and aqua these look amazing. He spent 3 years working on these and it shows, more pictures via Ronnie's blog, release information coming soon...

Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III - Leather Backs Teaser

Proving you just cant keep a good man down Ronnie Fieg has released a teaser of what we assume is his next Gel Lyte III release. Dubbed the leather back for obvious reasons and with a hint of an aqua sole peeping out from the two tone black/grey upper these look like they will continue his rich vain of form, cant wait for more pictures...

Asics Gel Lyte III x Zillion Laces

Zillion laces have made quite a name for themselves since arrving on the scene in 2009 with their unique laces made from recycled kimonos. Now put their design know-how into an up and coming fresh colorway for argueably the biggest sneaker of 2010 the Asics Gel Lyte III, looking good...

September 25th marks the release date for SlamJam Italy's Asics collaboration, it is definately up there with my favourite shoes of the year.

Sneaker Freaker Asics Gel Lyte III

After last years 'Skippys' Sneaker Freaker keep up their strong collaboration work with the 'Alvin Purple' their take on the Asics Gel Lyte III, although I dont think they reach the dizzie heights of the Ronnie Fieg versions these are solid and give me a reason to post issue 13's awesome 3-D cover...
