ASICS work alongside Monkey Team for their second collaborative project.
After their first collaboration, ASICS and Monkey Time are back for their second Gel-Lyte V, taking inspiration from sand dunes which formed in the natural world thousands of years ago.
Although the ‘Sand Layer’ appears to be your typical Gel-Lyte V, the new design features a mixture of materials and textures, as well as the inviting use of desert sand inspired tones.
The new ‘Sand Layer’ sneaker features the highest quality nubuck pig-skin upper, lycra film on the inner, and a waxed cotton lace. One of the stand out features is the shagged suede heel, leading to the speckled black base.
The all new ‘Sand Layer’, Gel-Lyte V will be available exclusively through Monkey Time in Japan as well as selected PUMA Global Lifestyle stores on November 21st, followed by a wider release on December 5th at selected retailers.
See below for more photos and the official collaborative video.
