Hi guys, new to this thread...I just recently felt in love with the Gel-Lyte I model from 1987 and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get the OG model, not retros

I'm aware that there was a retro in 2017, but it's not a good enough retro imo, doesn't really look 1:1. I have some 90s vintage air maxes, and I'm very picky with retros lol. Really love the og mesh and silhouette.


I also like the Gel-lyte II model, but absolutely dislike the III because of the tongue...Anyone would know where I could get OG models? searched ebay and found nothing...

Thanks in advance!

Damn! I just ordered those Kobe's 2 days ago from Notre, obviously before this sale. Well that sucks
 
They are part of the Monozukuri pack. There's another colorway, too. I like the blue one more though. Will cop on clearance.


Drawing influence from the mindset of Monozukuri, which translates to “Making of Things,” this GEL-LYTE™ III OG sneaker is crafted with a series of design details that reflect this traditional adage—including the original shape that it debuted with in 1990. Constructed with a combination suede and leather paneling with mesh application on the underlays, this shoe also features mismatched tones on each side’s ASICS logos. Aditionally, the red Hakano stamp on the heel translates to “GEL™” technology in Katana lettering. Replacing the traditional outsole with a gum rubber compound, the GEL-LYTE™ III OG Monozukuri echoes the philosophy of an endless pursuit towards advanced craftsmanship—a key element in Japan’s cultural fabric.

  • Original-like upper construction
