Concepts x ASICS Gel-Lyte 5 Libertea

Boston-based streetwear and sneaker boutique Concepts joins forces with Japanese sportswear company ASICS to celebrate Gel-Lyte 5’s 30th anniversary. Inspired by the 2015 Concepts x ASICS Gel-Lyte “Boston Tea Party”, this colourway doubles as the perfect 4th of July sneaker. The Concepts x ASICS Gel-Lyte 5 “Libertea” honours Independence Day in the US with patriotic red, white, and blue accents.

ASICS set a high standard after the success of the GEL-Lyte 3. The brand deviated from the iconic split-tongue setup of the previous model and opted for a one-piece sock-like construction for the Gel-Lyte 5. This early ‘90s running shoe easily transitioned to streetwear, gaining various collaborations with other leading fashion brands. The “Libertea” rendition celebrates Concepts’ Boston roots with a “Boston Tea Party” makeover. It has a USA-inspired suede construction, combining sail white perforated suede fabrics on the forefoot, a red fuzzy suede heel panel with netting on the quarter panels, and dark blue accents on the eyestay, tongue, and collar. Metallic gold and silver tones cover the signature ASICS stripes. The special crate-inspired shoe box wraps up this 30th-anniversary sneaker.
