The original Asics Gel-Lyte made its return in 2017. This was the first pair retroed, made in collaboration with Amsterdam-based retailer, Patta. They come in a grey and purple colorway, made to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the 1987 classic. Featuring a grey and purple-based nubuck upper with ginger striping and hits of pink on the striping underlay, lace stays and Patta-branded lace locks. Other details include: a perforated toebox, soft leather liner, dual branding on the woven tongue label, embroidered on the heel tab, printed on the insole, and on the aglets. Each pair comes with two additional sets of laces as well as a co-branded custom hangtag. A Patta exclusive, their release date was July 29th, 2017 in-store, followed by an online release on the 31st. Asics fans worldwide can appreciate the Patta x Asics Gel-Lyte retro, putting them right up there with previous collabs on various other silhouettes. If you got lucky and scored a pair, hit up the marketplace to see what they are currently going for. It might be a good time to invest and buy another pair online or, sell them.
