The ASICS Gel-Lyte III 'Up There Kookaburra' (2023) celebrates the rich heritage of the Gel-Lyte III, reimagining it with a distinctly Australian influence. This special edition sneaker draws its inspiration from the iconic kookaburra bird, a symbol of Australia’s natural beauty. With its unique colorway and premium materials, this release continues ASICS' tradition of blending performance and style, offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal in one striking package.
Overview
The 'Up There Kookaburra' rendition of the ASICS Gel-Lyte III is highlighted by a rich "Fawn" suede upper, paying homage to the earthy tones of the Australian outback. The midfoot and toe box are dressed in "Cream" leather, providing a balanced contrast that enhances the shoe's intricate details. Signature accents of "Cobalt Blue" and "Sunset Gold" reflect the vibrant colors seen in the iconic kookaburra’s plumage, while the reflective hits on the heel and tongue offer a nod to the bird’s striking eyes. The sneaker rests atop a classic Gel-Lyte III midsole, equipped with ASICS’ Gel cushioning technology for superior comfort and support. Subtle details, such as the bird embroidery on the heel tab, further elevate the design, making this a must-have for sneaker enthusiasts and collectors alike.
