Asics x Woei Cervidae Gel Lyte III
This is the result of a collaboration between Asics and the Rotterdam based shop Woei and it might be the best Gel Lyte III that has ever left the Asics factory to date. I know at the end of the day it’s all a matter of taste but for me this outdoor inspired shoe provides everything you need on an outstanding collab. The Materials are one of the best I’ve ever seen on an Asics shoe and together with the sick details like the heel prints, the 3M, the crossed stitching on the toebox and of course the golden trial hooks the Asics Woei Cervidae is a masterpiece that couldn’t have been better executed. They were released on the 23rd of June in 2012 as a part of Woei’s 5 year anniversary celebration and came with special boxes and t shirt for the first 100 customers. One week later was the global release at selected retailers.
Adidas Tubular Runner
The Adidas Tubular Runner got its look from 1990’s Tubular OG which had an external pump to inflate the sole. Recently the Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto found some love for the new Tubular sole on his Y-3 models.
The shoe got a neoprene socklike upper with suede overlays, a DUAL DENSITY outsole as such as a welded on overlay at the toe area. The heal cap with laser cut details reminds of the legendary ZX 700. The Adidas Tubular Runner provides a progressive look with modern materials and of course a super comfy outsole.
New Balance 1300 JP (2010)
Here a few quick pics of my latest pickup, the New Balance 1300 JP made in USA. The 1300 JP releases every 5 years since 1995 but only for the Japanese Market. Rumors say that the 2015 version will also be available at selected New Balance retailers around the world. The release is set for January.
Asics Gel Lyte III Allwhite
Somebody at Asics has finally heard my prayers! Since I’m collecting them I was desperately waiting for an all white shoe. The wait is finally over and the outcome couldn’t be any better. Fortunately Asics did choose the Gel Lyte III wich is one of my favorite models from the brand. I can’t really describe it but there is something magical for me when it comes to all white shoes. I still remember the hard time i gave my mother begging her to buy me an all white tennis shoe. I think it was the adidas Stan Smith when I was around 9 years old. Those Stan Smith’ where white for less than 1 hour and i was mad as hell because they lost their shine so quickly. Now in the age of the several impregnate sprays and with the grown-up care for, I’m pretty hopeful they will stay shine for a bit longer. The materials used are a nice smooth leather and the usual nylon tongue and canvas lining known from most of the inline Asics. For some the Asics Gel Lyte III Allwhite might just be a regular white shoe but for me it is the release of the year from general releases and collabs. The release is set for the 1st of December at selected Asics retailers.
