We have seen a couple previews of some of the upcoming releases from A Bathing Ape lately, including the Bape Skullsta and Roadsta collections. We now have a first look at an upcoming Metallic Pack which is composed of two pairs of the Bape Bapesta. The first features a full metallic silver upper accented by a white midsole and white laces. The second style yields a metallic gold base with similar white accents. There is no doubt that both these variations of the Bapesta are not made for everyone and feature some unique color schemes. The A Bathing Ape Bapesta Metallic Pack is set to drop in the Spring/Summer of 2009.

The Asics Spring/Summer ’09 line recently hit European boutique, hanon. Comprised of colorful new variations of the Gel Lyte III and Gel Lyte Speed, the brand’s new stable emphasizes “running shoe” comfort and resonant color schemes. We’ve featured previews of the Asics Spring/Summer ’09 shoes before, but it never hurts to get another look–each jawn is ill! What’s your favorite model? I’m particularly drawn to grey/turquoise/orange Gel Lyte III. We’re interested in hearing what you like, leave your favorite model and its corresponding colorway in the responses!

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!
