Even with the anniversary of the Gel Lyte III, brands are still opting to use the GLV for collaboration purposes. Case in point Monkey Time which there pair is inspired by noir films that were popular in the 1940s and 50s. Featuring a black, white and grey color scheme just like the films and is being called ‘Lights and Shadows’.
