While we were able to bring you a teaser pic of the result of a collaboration between HighSnobiety and Asics, little could be told from the picture. Not to worry, though. We now have pictures of the finalized producted to show you. This pair of Asics Gel Lyte III has an upper actually made of pig skin and patent leather, while the colorway is mainly blue and grey. A big collaboration like this begs a big release date- and big it is. These will go on sale both online and in-store from the DavidZ shop at 556 Broadway between Prince and Spring streets in New York City. 200 pairs have been set aside for online sales, while only 18 will be able to be purchased in-store. Good luck, people! Check out more pix after the jump.

At the end of August, the Asics crew applied an eye-opening “blue jumbo” colorway on its famous Gel Lyte III. Now, the same silhouette is in midst of being reworked by the Asics crew again- only this time the HighSnobiety crew is on the job as well. Previewed here is the result of said collaboration- a Gel Lyte III with what seems to be a predominantly grey upper and blue suede on the mid panels and toe box. We’ll be sure to give you a look at the finished product once more detailed pictures surface.

Asics is chock full of ideas, which they in turn relay onto its shoes. The Asics Gel Lyte III is its latest victim, as it is released in a army-like olive/black/orange colorway. This dark tone shoe gives off a rugged vibe, especially with the crackled grey midsole, which is placed atop a dominantly black outsole with olive and orange accents. The black upper is executed in leather and mesh, along with olive suede and leather with orange outlining. The laces sport black and orange to nicely match the theme of the shoe, which is available now for about $123.

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.
