The Sneaker Vault #8: The History of The Asics Gel-Lyte III

[@itmfl2046]

Asics are so slept on. they are a true sneakerhead's sneaker who is all about the actual shoe design/colors/materials, and not about the "hype"

[@DanMehmet-yy1ly]

Shame they stopped releasing any good colours . here in the UK at least

[@DTUFINOPhotography]

I'm still rocking these... even after the asics trend died out when Kith dropped so many classics.... I still rock mine today in 2023!!!

[@Sabundy]

I love Asics gel technology. It's just super comfortable. I just bought a pair of Asics gel 360s two days ago.

[@WayneLLC]

Very surprised you don’t have more subscribers - thought my eyes were failing me. Great delivery and I learn more about the brand and shoes history’s in your concise, bitesize presentation than I would have in many other channels.

[@SneakerKlev]

Thanks man your comment means a lot! :D

[@bellakisses616]

Absolutely love my ASICS!!

[@SneakerKlev]

I do too

[@broskimedula5300]

Gel Lyte III and Air Max 90 are my go-to sneakers.

[@stealthworx4371]

Bro you deserve WAAAAY more subs! this was super high quality and well researched. Never seen a youtube video with this much detail about a sneaker lol good shit!

[@SneakerKlev]

Thanks man I really appreciate that

[@Dasolecollector]

I always wonder why Asics ain’t as popular, they are so underrated

[@SneakerKlev]

If I had to guess I would say marketing. Everyone knows about Adidas and Nike since they were kids but nobody seems to know about Asics and it definitely took me some time to learn about the gel lytes

[@Dasolecollector]

Sneaker Klev I agree. Especially out here in the United States, Asics aren’t really pushed out there compare to like Jordan,Nike,Adidas, hopefully it will one day, I love Asics such cool colorways and comfy shoe.

[@Sabundy]

Depends where you live. In Asia Asics is definitely very well known. Same goes for Australia, or Africa.

[@cdfchung]

I got upset that I could never get my hands on Dunk Lows. Then I came across with the new Purple Green Gel Lyte III in Asics store and was impressed with the look and quality! Not to mention no need to spend a fortune on Stockx and not able to try on!

[@ursulahofer82]

Yes they are very comfortable. These are definitely the best sneakers. And so special!!!

[@joelman1989]

You said it yourself. The most underrated classic

[@tito9641]

Asics gel lyte iii are my all time favorite, Ive been trying to find the at mos world map ones for a while with no luck :(

[@SneakerKlev]

The world's maps look so cool I hope you get them one day

[@likesneaker3238]

One of the most underrated models during the 90s due to the Nike AM90. Love the Asics Gel-Lyte III , especially the Afew Red Koi, did a couple of reviews on this model!🔥

[@SebastianHernandez-sh7qj]

Been rockin w/ ASICS since my freshman year of Hs of 2014 and they go hard af

[@MarcusWilliams-jp6hy]

Nice vid. Been wearing GL3’S since 1990. Had the Citron and Orange/Purple color way. Now have about 15 pair of GL3’S.

[@SneakerKlev]

Nice dude!

[@djukruku]

Ya one of my favorites sneaker ever

[@SneakerKlev]

Understandable

[@irfanaz]

Great video , underated channel

[@SneakerKlev]

Thanks man 😃!

[@ChrisP.Bacon1]

I'm from the USA and the gel 3 is my all time favorite shoe, over Jordans Nikes Adidas ECT I wear them daily in different color ways also I don't really collect shoes I'm more of a wearing shoes kinda guy lol but the gel 3 is definitely my favorite an my friends know me as "The Asics guy" lol

[@SneakerKlev]

Nice choice of Sneaker and nice name

[@ChrisP.Bacon1]

@@SneakerKlev Definitely, yea who don't like bacon right lol

[@ChrisP.Bacon1]

@Alan Wilson order your regular size they fit perfectly I'ma a 10 and they fit good but it depends on the material used sometimes I can go up a half size but mostly I get my regular size

[@ChrisP.Bacon1]

@Alan Wilson The gel sagas are comfortable too and look nice, kinda like the gel lyte ones

[@ChrisP.Bacon1]

@Alan Wilson No prob, salute man! 🤘🏼

[@jonhattanaguilar3939]

I just picked up a pair. Love them

[@Immoorecomplex]

I just love hearing you say Gel Lyte Free 😆 no offense 🙏🏾

[@SneakerKlev]

🥺

[@equusquaggaquagga536]

This stuff is brilliant

[@SneakerKlev]

Thank you!

[@adrianfavela791]

Still the most underrated sneaker. New balance and ASICS are the most comfortable shoes and finally are getting the aesthetics

[@idid1866]

G-III's are the only model I buy from Asics...very comfortable!

[@SneakerKlev]

Couldn't agree more. Even though I think Vs are pretty comfy too

[@Mrfaisalariffin89]

just copped the new SneakerLah x Hundred% Gel Lyte 3 Kuala Lumpur Twin Tower. Dude. these are my favoourite shoes.

[@SneakerKlev]

Nice cop 👌

[@Philoreason]

Agree Gel Lyte iii deserve more love. I absolutely love them, I have 6 pairs, most cop from stockx

[@SneakerKlev]

Good to know I'm not the only one

[@pandapandas8736]

Most of my shoes are Nikes, but I really dont want to miss my Asics Gel Lytes and Kayanos, truelly comfy shoes with nice design. And they differ a lot from current Nike and Adidas releases, I like ♥️

[@SneakerKlev]

Totally understandable

[@natemoseley6783]

I wear everything from Vans to nikes to adidas and I have more pairs of asics gel lyte 3’s than any other pairs of shoes I’ve owned in my life…super comfortable and good everlasting good looking sneaker

[@charlesjaysonaquino3736]

I have about 7 pairs of Asics and I'm gonna continue on collecting. In a way it's hard to choose cause Asics always goes hard on there colorways and it's hard to choose which ones I wants

[@SneakerKlev]

So true asics have to many good CWs for the 3s

[@charlesjaysonaquino3736]

@@SneakerKlev hope to build up my collection,I also 2 pairs of DS trainer ogs and one gel saga. But by far the 3's are the best.,I wanna build more into my collection.

[@SneakerKlev]

@@charlesjaysonaquino3736 got any 5s?

[@charlesjaysonaquino3736]

@@SneakerKlev I have one pair,there the full grey with a little yellow to it

[@SneakerKlev]

Think I know which one you are talking about and may i say it's a nice choice

[@btto2816]

My favorite Shoe!!!!

[@SneakerKlev]

And a great one at that

[@dquaviuscofer17]

Asics finally get some love

[@SneakerKlev]

Some well deserved love

[@Sabundy]

There is also Mizuno and Descente. Two other top quality Japanese sports/shoe brands. And of course Asics's own sub brand Onitsuka Tiger

[@MM-ul1zi]

Only what i really like from classical !!!!

[@mickfitz76]

I only wear Gel Lyte III"s. I have 67 pairs been collecting 25 years. I'm 47 this month and still can't get enough. 😂

[@martingechev9864]

You have a problem bro

[@alexguallpa2325]

Anyone know the name of the shoe in the thumbnail plz lmk

[@rafaelfresnosa8942]

Just a question, how much are gel lyte 3s worth now because im looking to resell

[@SneakerKlev]

It depends on the model and also if you're talking about retail or resale

[@rafaelfresnosa8942]

Sneaker Klev whats the price difference of both?

[@SneakerKlev]

Retail prices are usually fixed with few exceptions. This is mainly due to numbers of pairs produced. Depending on which model you are selling you can make from several dollars to maybe 2x-3x what you payed for. This is ofc a simplification so keep that in mind

[@rafaelfresnosa8942]

Sneaker Klev thanks man keep up the good work 🔥

[@SneakerKlev]

Thank you I will. And as as a final note. Unless you have some specific Ronnie fieg 3s or other rare gel lytes I wouldn't recommend going into gel lyte resell unless you can buy GR releases for very cheap

[@hoodrichhaul7545]

New subscriber guess it was recommended cause I bought a storm shadow collab. And yes so slept on I'm over here with Jordans iversons and now moving to Pumas and now Asics. I feel like Asics will eventually have it's moment Soon so stock up now before a rapper or celebrity wears them and prices skyrocket happened with the SB dunks!

[@SneakerKlev]

Actually never thought about that but you're right it could actually happen

[@KidChardonnay]

Gel lyte 3s and Gel saga 2 are Asics freshest sneakers. The fact that they're pretty expensive, don't come from a hype shoe manufacturer and don't have many new collabs definitely hinder the popularity of this sneaker imo.

[@SneakerKlev]

Yeah I think you have a point

[@Alfredwijaya1]

Which one is more better Ultra boost or Asics

[@SneakerKlev]

I would say asics

[@vincehernandez52]

i have the Clot x Asics 3 Lavender sooo good my friend gave it to me.

[@peezy9898]

Nice video. I prefer them to be slept on here in the U.S. easier to get

[@GODUVAL]

I love ASICS ❤️

[@SneakerKlev]

Thanks united states space force ❤️

[@locomoto76]

How about japanese designers and collabs? Sacai and fragments?

[@SneakerKlev]

Could be an interesting topic

[@reginoemc]

does this come true to size?

[@SneakerKlev]

I would say go a size up

[@twochainsandrollies]

definitely at least half size up

[@knowledgepower1906]

Agree🎯

[@TheLifePhoenix]

Asics hands down best shoe artistic touch on the market. Left Nike Adidas New Balance Sacouny Reebok puma IN THE DUST decades ago

[@Khang-jp2dz]

shoe model with the best collaborations has to be: SB Dunk Lows. Undisputed.

[@SneakerKlev]

Fight me

[@davidgiezyng4195]

What about Gel Diablo ?

[@SneakerKlev]

I can't promise anything but I will have it on the list

[@davidgiezyng4195]

@@SneakerKlev thank you

[@presto_horsie]

Also its alphagel not agel, the weight is off on the gel lyte 1

[@the7asmann]

i hate the silhouette since i was kid as air max looks much cooler....until i got myself the patchwork design and i got another 2 more after that after i understand them...lucky this is not as hype as jordan/dunks...its a perfect old man shoes LOL

Thanks!

[@leolee9287]

how are u gonna make a gel lyte 3 vid and not include ronnie fieg. prob the most important person besides Mitsui when it comes to the gel lyte 3. Ronnie essentially brought the GL3 out of the vault and back into production after it had been discontinued, on top of all the fire collabs and colorways.

[@PadreDePato]

9.9 stone?! 😂

This is not the asics freak, wrong shoe shown, youre showing a late 90s performance runner

It was only a matter of time until you talked about a dad shoe.

[@SneakerKlev]

Had to come sooner or later

[@Nick-ne4ln]

Not a dad shoe but ok.

[@kshitij8845]

the sole is not chunky and neither is the silhouette rigid looking. hence no dad shoe.

[@Overbelaste_Belastingbetaler]

metarun is better
