ASICS Gel-Lyte 5 Godai Seafoam

Japanese athleisure brand ASICS flaunts cool and warm colours in the new Gel-Lyte 5 “Ancient Coin” pack. The classic Gel-Lyte 5 celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2023, and ASICS honours the shoe with Japanese-themed collections. This ASICS Gel-Lyte 5 “Ancient Coin Seafoam” boasts relaxed pastel tones of green headlined by a Japanese ancient coin lace lock.

High expectations welcomed the ASICS Gel-Lyte 5 in 1993 as its predecessor, the Gel-Lyte 3, became a highly coveted running shoe. The silhouette removes the split-tongue design popularised by the previous Gel-Lyte entry. Its lightweight construction consists of mesh with suede and leather overlays for added durability. ASICS stripes on the sides reinforce the quarter panel, while the MONO-SOCK construction keeps the foot locked in. Internal ASICS GEL technology adorns the forefoot and heel midsole sections. The Gel-Lyte 5 became a streetwear staple option from the brand alongside the Gel-Lyte 3.

This colourway flaunts a white perforated pigskin nubuck base with light green suede overlays on the toe and quarter panel. Dark green accents adorn the suede panels on the eyestay and heel. Blue tones emblazon the ASICS stripes outline and logos on the tongue and heel. A gold ancient Japanese coin lace lock honours the culture and adds style. Speckles on the heel midsole flaunt more eye-catching aesthetics to the special colour scheme to finish the design.
