Earlier this month, Kith opened its doors to its newest flagship location, this time in Chicago. To celebrate, they released a World’s Fair collection with Asics, which included four colourways of the Gel-Lyte III model. Today I’m reviewing all of the colourways which represent nations that have hosted a world’s fair in years past.

This fall ready sneaker just dropped by Asics in collaboration with Australian-based boutique, Up There.

Tune into my review to learn more about this incredible pair and to see how they are on feet!
UK-retailer, End, celebrated their 20th anniversary with the release of this special themed Asics Gel-Nimbus 10.1 inspired by late night corner store runs for milk. This pair features a white, cream mesh upper, with bold blue tones throughout for the perfect mix of wearability and pop. Check out my review and to see how these are on feet.

Kith recently restocked this special colourway of the Asics Gel-1130, “Cream / Starlight Blue”. This summer-ready shoe features a lightweight mesh upper, with synthetic overlays in silver and light blue. Though the Kith branding is at a minimum, it still stands out for its wearability. Who else picked these up, or were these a pass for you?
