Gel III Lytes have moved up the ranks as one of my favorite shoes, especially with Asics managing to make available a few amazing colorways here in the States. But these right here aggin © Katt Williams. Ric-key Re-tar-do. So beautifully blue with the dark grey hue. Asics & DavidZ collabo. If only I could snag the old alt. Blue Jays cap from a few seasons ago to match up with these.
More shots after the break.
DavidZ x Asics GEL Lyte III “Super Blue” [Nice Kicks]
Aside — I finally got my hands on the honey A.R.C. Asics in size 13. Mr. UPS Man, I’m on the corner throwing up gang signs, waiting for you on Friday fam. Be there or be square.
Another Aside — I’m still looking for the Brown/Orange joints in a 13. Holler.

Asics Gel III Lytes are one of the few non Nike kicks I love. These will be copped
these are dope. i need to get up these gel III lytes. my collection needs them.
Now THESE are fresh!!! Time to call up the wholesale connect, I need these in 13 stat!!!
252 pairs made. Good luck fellas lol.
Consider @ least one of those 13′s (hopefully) mine.
ASICS = Kings of Running Shoes
Closely followed by Nike’s NIKE RUNNING brand.
Both make super comfy running shoes.
These motherfuckers go so hard. I keep looking @ them.
without getting too specific about my age, thefirst pair of shoes i ever bought with my own money were purple and gold Asics Spotlight Gels–3/4 highs.
they were $75; i put ‘em on my first credit card when i was about 17/18 years old. i finally paid ‘em off about 3 months shy my 21st birthday.
And that my friendsm was how BC first learned about minimum monthly payments, APR and compound interest.

============
sorry…New Balance holds the crown when it comes to actually running in running shoes.
closely followed by Nike Prestos…then ASICS
…but thats just me.
Haven’t rocked Asics since Junior High, but these shits are fresh to death.
Gel Lyte III’s are super ill, I’ve been looking for a pair to cop, even the GR’s…then I go to Rivington Club and see said Asics in my size, but decide to wait…next day, gone. Oh well.
Is it me, or do they fit a half size smaller?
followed by Nike Prestos…
=======
Man, prestos made me wanna get out the Glover’s man and the stocking cap cuz those were some straight-up house shoes.
I lost track of the bunions i got from tryin’ to run in a pair or red/white prestos… them soft, flimsy beachware-ish shoes…
But i looked-ed good doin’ it, tho!
Black Canseco is a dusty old man.
Actual running?
Asics, NB’s, then Nikes.
My lil’ brother has run track since he was 8. Dude swears by Asics.
I was about to say that any real runner knows Asics are top dog. But it’s all dependent on the runner too (height, weight, distance, etc).
And by top dog for runners, I’m not saying these particular models
Mr. UPS Man, I’m on the corner throwing up gang signs, waiting for you on Friday fam. Be there or be square.
============================
LMFAO @ this, def. been there before.
anyhow, these are crack…but I doubt I’ll be able to cop so I jus get sad lookin at em…
*contemplates robbing Gotty for his 13′s…then remembers he packs the heat*
From a former runner:
Serious, hard-body, vigorous running: Asics
Long-distance, extensive running: New Balance
Good for both but never used, good for posing: Nike
@ Gotty: How are you having trouble finding that Jays cap??? I see shitloads of them in the stores over here. I’m sure that you could find it online.
kick with my nikes !
I have had 2 sneaker stores the specialize in Running and Marthon training and when it comes to Actual Running
1. Brooks or Asics
2. New Balance
3. Nike or Addidas
Good for both but never used, good for posing: Nike
^lol
Those sneakers are smooth; looks like I will need a second job. lol
every time I work on a budget for myself Gotty messes it up with some bad kicks, damn you!!!
I’m sorry. I could not plug Brooks w/a straight face lol. I know they’re good…but fuck that.
Flea – you’re in Canada…right lol? I haven’t seen that motherfucker stateside in a minute. I searched for it for mths last yr (or maybe it was 2 yrs ago) w/zero success.
nah man, i got the orange and black jump offs and run in em…theyre good shoes
also got the NB 993, but those are just good for a frat party. run in em a couple times and end up with blisters on my heels from too much fabric.
can sumone post links to the best website to buy sneakers? Ive been looking for websites forever. All i get from google is blogspots talkin bout the sneaker
I was going to say something .. then I read down..
NB’s are for distance runners and hard training.
ASICS were the sprinters training shoes
Adidas = actual meet shoe
Nike.. pimping on the yard with the exception of the waffles for indoor track meets
