Japanese retailer GETTRY sought out unlikely inspiration for their latest collaborative effort with Asics. Asics’ Procourt AR was once a favorite on the courts of Japan, but like most retros, has seamlessly crossed over into the lifestyle market. The “Hamburger” was fostered by the globalization of fast food, as hues like “Burger Brown” and “Cheese Yellow” mark the strapped hightop’s upper. Speaking of upper, the shoe’s most vertical region is a tasteful blend of patent and perforated leather. If you’re still hungry, the model’s sockliner is covered in french fries. The GETTRY x Asics Procourt AR “Hamburger” is available exclusively in Japan at GETTRY.

The Gel Lyte III, one of the more popular models from Asics, is coming back to us in the Season Spot Pack. The Season Spot Pack consists of three very clean colorways, each with a different style. Besides the fact that the Asics Gel Lyte III is already a clean sneaker, there’s a very interesting thing about these pairs. The tongue is split down the middle, and that’s something that you don’t see everyday. Also, the use of suede and mesh is a look that works well. Only dropping in Japan, be sure to check these out when they release next month.

Asics has worked its way into the sneaker scene through its works with large name retailers, but they continue to release attractive packages away from collaborations including the Runovation Pack. Inside is three classic running models, the GT II, Gel Lyte III and Gel Lyte Speed. The GT II sports a white/gold/black colorway, while the Gel Lyte III and Gel Lyte Spped are made up of white/black/yellow and white/silver/purple respectively. The sneakers appear to focus on important running materials like mesh, but still look stylish enough to wear out. You can pick-up the Asics Runovation Pack now at retailers including Proper.

We last saw the Asics Gel Lyte Speed Spring 2009 collection in a small preview. Here we have the Asics Gel Lyte Speed in the white/black/turquoise colorway up close and personal. This colorway is perhaps the best of the three, with its smooth black leather with white and turquoise contrasts, split tongue, and turquoise speckled midsole. This collection is set to drop a week from now so get your old Asics’ on and go get ‘em!

Asics has once again teamed up with David Z.’s Ronnie Fieg to create the Asics Gel Lyte III in a super blue/grey colorway. The defining characteristic of the shoe is the super blue nubuck found towards the middle of the shoe. It is contrasted by a light grey perforated toebox and other grey panels. Of course the Gel Lyte III’s have its unique tongue, but this time, Fieg added net material to the side and back heel panels for a fresh look. And with the popularity of speckled midsoles, this shoe keeps with the Jones’s. These will be available May 1st only on the David Z. site, limited to 252 pairs.

Summer is fast approaching, and Asics is ready to deliver with new variations of the Gel Lyte III, GT, and Pro Court. The PC’s original roots hearken back to its hightop days on the hardwood, but this version’s predominantly black upper, yellow midsole pink accents, and speckled diamond print compliment the shoe’s brawny ankle strap in a lifestyle-friendly manner. The Gel Lyte III also features a black upper, but the mesh-toed model is contrasted beautifully by aqua blue, yellow, and crackle pattern accents. The GT is distinguished by its white nylon upper and toebox. Pink and yellow accents mark up select areas of the shoe. This portion of the Asics Spring 2009 Collection–the GT, Gel Lyte III, and Pro Court–will drop on May 30, 2009 at YEAHBOY Department stores in Hamburg.
