ASICS GEL-Lyte 3 “Quilt Pack” Covered In Light Indigo And Blush Suede
Let’s be honest, 2021 wasn’t exactly ASICS’ year. Save for a couple collaborations and in-line Kikos, the Japanese footwear brand had trouble standing out amongst Jordan Brand’s many Retros and even Crocs’ collaborative efforts with Salehe Bembury.
