Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III 'Blush'
First of all, thank you @ronniefieg. This is truly an honor to be selected for this list. One of my first Collab Asics I purchased was the RF x GLV Sage & to now be included on this list is truly something I could've never imagined. This sneaker is truly gorgeous in hand & the selection of materials were beautifully executed.
Materials: the upper of this sneaker consists of a 5 shades of pink. Starting at the toe cap, there is a soft salmon-ish pink suede that wraps around the toe. The toe box is a perforated dusty pink suede that has a nice color change to it. Moving to the stripes, they used a mauve color suede with white underlays beneath them. Wrapping around the back heel, there's a debossed GEL LYTE III in what looks like a rogue pink suede. Lastly, my favorite part, the insole and sock liner is done in a soft terry cloth material that feels very nice to touch & on foot. Overall, this really is a beautiful cw & they didn't short out on quality.
Comfort/Sizing: imo, the gl3 is a comfortable sneaker. It has a nice squishy feel to it that molds to your feet nicely overtime. In terms of sizing, I received these in an 8 & they do fit, but I have a high arch, so the tongue on og shape GL3 doesn't close very well. If you do have a high arch or wide foot, I would go up a half size, otherwise stay tts.
Overall Opinion: I'm going to be biased, bc this sneaker is really special to me. For me, this sneaker displays years of my hard work & time that I dedicated into my photography. To go from taking photos on my front porch and writing short reviews, to what you see today & being able to review pairs of kicks from multiple people I look up to. I can definitely say November '23 will be a month I will never forget & I am forever grateful to everyone who trusted me with their projects.
Thank you to everyone who has helped me along this path & believed in what I do. If you have a chance to purchase this shoe, don't sleep. This really is a beautiful sneaker with beautiful materials.
Thank you again, Ronnie & Kith ❤️
Much love ❤️
