Amsterdam retailer Patta is scheduled to release three sneakers with Asics to celebrate their 5th anniversary. Patta has lined up three artists for the collaboration, Eric Elms, Delta and Parra. These three designers implement subtle colorways available in purple, black and red with different colored highlights giving pair a bit of style and flare. Furthermore, artwork by Elms, Delta and Parra can be found lining the interior and insole of the Gel Lyte Speed. Look for all three to release at Patta at the end of the month. Via Patta.

The last time we saw Parra included in a project was with Nike last year where the Dutch artist designed a pair of Air Max 95s made up of white, red, blue and pink. In 2009, Parra will also be commissioned to put his signature artwork on sneakers, but this time around it is Vans who seeks the well-known artisan. The Parra x Vans Pack consists of the Sk8-Hi and Era as well as matching apparel. The Sk8-Hi features skateboard graphics while the Era is kept in solid colors. Both sport white, blue, black and pink. Release is expecting for July at Vans retailers. Via mashKULTURE.
