Ronnie Fieg's Kith has become synonymous with high-profile collaborations in the sneaker world, and its partnership with Asics is one of the most enduring. As the 2023 holiday season commences, this collaboration takes an exclusive turn with the release of the Kith x Asics Gel-Lyte III By Invitation Only. This collaboration continues a series of successful releases featuring the Gel-Lyte III silhouette, a favorite of Fieg's, including a recent collection inspired by X-Men characters.
The Kith x Asics Gel-Lyte III By Invitation Only is a testament to premium craftsmanship, enveloped in rich suede and showcasing a palette of purple, blush, and violet hues. This color scheme lends the sneaker a luxurious and distinctive look, setting it apart from previous iterations. The insole features co-branding with Asics and Kith logos, while the midfoot proudly displays the iconic Asics Tiger Stripe. Underfoot, the sneaker is equipped with a white Gel-cushioned midsole, providing the signature comfort Asics is known for, paired with a tonal outsole that completes the sneaker's refined aesthetic.
However, what truly makes this release unique is its availability. According to a card sent by Fieg to early recipients, this pair won't be found in stores or on the Kith website. Instead, it will be available exclusively via an invitation, with interested buyers required to scan a QR code on the invite to access a hidden page on the Kith App, making the acquisition of this sneaker as unique as its design. It’s unknown what criteria are required, if any, to be invited to purchase the sneaker.
The Kith x Asics Gel-Lyte III By Invitation Only will release on November 28, 2023, exclusively via an invitation from Kith. The retail price for this exclusive pair is set at $195.
