SIZE? X ASICSTIGER GEL – LYTE OG ’36 VIEWS’
In homage to ASICSTIGER’s rich heritage in Japan, the global sports footwear brand has collaborated with streetwear retailer size? to deliver an iconic rendition of the GEL-Lyte OG.
The collaborative project with size? sees inspiration drawn from Japanese roots, creating a traditionally themed GEL- LYTE OG ‘36 Views’. With colour-ways reflecting the paintings of celebrated Ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai, the palette picks hues from his legendary block printed series that captured Mount Fuji from varying viewpoints around Japan.
The ASICSTIGER GEL – LYTE OG ’36 Views’ features innovative details throughout, including a water resistant suede upper, ripstop toe box, and featured for the very first time on this silhouette, pull tabs on both the tongue and heel. The water resistant suede and ripstop upper draw reference to the Great Wave and other bodies of water featured in several of the paintings from the series of Hokusai works. The pink tone found throughout is pulled from the seasonal Cherry Blossoms that sprout from the trees at a very specific time each Spring.
With a limited run of only 500 pairs available worldwide, there will be a free gift with purchase instore of a limited edition print by Japanese animator SEGAWA THIRTY SEVEN of GIFMAGAZINE. His craft is reimagining the works of Hokusai with a light hearted contemporary twist. In this case, he’s combined the famous image of Mount Fuji and plonked it at the end of London’s Carnaby street, where size? have a flagship retail store.
