Asics and Hasbro has connected to create new colorways of the Gel Lyte III which is inspired by two G.I. Joe characters, Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes.
The line is inspired by an epic chapter in the G.I. Joe lore: the rivalry between Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. Once brothers in arms as part of the Arashikage Clan, they find themselves on opposing sides of the struggle between G.I. Joe and Cobra.
The Black Snake Eyes model features a crystal rubber outsole with a discovery element, premium emblem and reflective detailing with black leather; the model is elevated and modernized with custom art on the insert. The White Storm Shadow model features a crystal rubber outsole which masks the character beneath while the premium emblem detailing grounds the model in the story. Through the intertwining of story and design aesthetic the model is elevated and modernized with custom art on the insert. On the bottom of both shoe models is an iced outsole revealing Zartan – a shadowy figure who plays a key part in the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow story.
For those that are interested in purchasing the collection, its available now at FootLocker.com and other select Foot Locker locations. Not only is the shoes available, but G.I. Joe inspired New Era hats, apparel and Hex utility bag. Retail price is set at $120 each. Below you can see more photos for a closer look.
