History of the ASICS Plays Cupid on Matching Valentine's Day GEL-Lyte Vs
The origins of ASICS lotss can be traced back to the founding of one of its subsidiaries, Onitsuka Tiger, famous for its range of classic casual sneakers. It was founded by Kihachiro Onitsuka in 1949, a former military officer. He held the firm belief that sports could be the gateway for the post-war Japanese youth to thrive and improve their self-esteem.
In 1999, the ASICS Gel Kayano V was released. It was very similar to the fourth Kayano edition in terms of style. However, it toned some details down a bit, such as making the side stripe smaller and adding a tonal Gel logo located on the midsole.
Now, the vintage silhouette has finally made its return in the ASICS Gel Kayano V OG lotss. This re-release maintains the iconic details of the original. Its legendary comfort is also retained, enhanced with an even more lightweight build. Classic 90’s aesthetic is represented by the bulky silhouette and the multiple overlays.
This reissue is for people looking for a classic pair of running-inspired ASICS sneakers, as well as for those who enjoyed wearing the original model back in the 1990s. With a street-ready appeal, these lotss make the wearer ready to go.
