Following his 2010 release of the "Cove" GL3, Ronnie again created a piece that is almost synonymous with his name: the Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel-Lyte III "Mint Leaf." As a child, RF would visit family in Israel annually, and their family would drink fresh mint-infused tea together. Fieg was in-charge of picking the mint leaves off the branches from his grandmother's garden, eventually earning himself the nickname "Minty." And although no longer a young boy, those experiences from his childhood impacted him enough to inspire the GEL Lyte 3 "Mint Leaf." Using a vibrant green nubuck as the upper apron and rear panel, with a mesh toe and split tongue, the Mint GLIII used his signature monochromatic coloring against a light-grey midsole with darker grey accents. Released in July of 2011, before RF's store Kith was opened, the Mint GEL-Lyte 3 proved to be Ronnie's last release at David Z and retailed for $120. In the years following their release, the Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel-Lyte III "Mint Leaf" proved to withstand the test of time. So much so, that in 2014 RF did another rendition of the colorway set across the ASICS Gel-Lyte V model giving those who had thirsted for the shoe for nearly three years an opportunity to add the colorway to their collections.
