Asics x BAIT Ring Pack

At a time when the world comes together to support their country in the Olympics, Asics and BAIT team up for an exclusive, eye-catching celebration of the world’s ultimate athletic exhibition. The Asics x BAIT Ring Pack introduces a limited collection of five unique shoes inspired by the Olympic Games’ world-famous ring logo. Each individual shoe is inspired by one of the five rings; the collection as a whole only employs the colors of the logo plus the basic white and grey for good measure. The pack takes Asics’ classic runners and sews in innovative designs and materials, resulting in a set of sneakers unlike anything that Asics has offered. The five shoes are woven together by common use of two features: the reflective 3M accents and the metallic, gold medal-themed insole. The pack is designed for the true sneaker fan with the highest quality materials and fresh new styles.

 

The first two shoes that will drop by the end of this week are the “Blue Ring” and the “Yellow Ring.”

Gel Lyte III – “Blue Ring”

The Gel-Lyte III “Blue Ring” features a striking two-faced design – tranquil on the outside, wild on the inside. The outer lateral side of the shoe presents a calm blue-on-blue appearance, while the inner medial side reveals a wild splash of contrasting red panels to clash with the blue base. Asics’ classic Gel Lyte III serves as the canvas for the two-toned theme, offering the same profile and cushioning that popularized the shoe in 1991. Whether in support of the United States, England, or something entirely different, the half blue and half red toe down gives the shoe an unmistakable style.

-         3M cross-stripe logo: stunning reflective overlay for an eye-popping detail that also increases the visibility of the runner at night

-         Synthetic upper: a supple synthetic upper that brings out the colors

-         Contrasting lateral and medial details: the lateral side features a clean blue 3M logo over the blue synthetic upper, while the lateral side features a contrasting red 3M logo, netting, and tongue

-         Split tongue: developed to enhance comfort by preventing the tongue from working its way down into the shoe, the half blue and half red split tongue gives the toe down a great two-toned look

-         Multi-colored rubber outsole: delivers the ultimate traction for running in style

-         One piece medial logo: one-piece construction of the medial cross-stripe reduces the weight, helping seize even the slightest advantage

-         Gold insole: a comfortable, metallic-brushed insert inspired by the gold medal, reminding wearers of their ultimate goals that lie ahead

-         Gel cushioning: maximum, lightweight comfort engineered for running

-         Two sets of laces: red and blue

Gel GTII – “Yellow Ring”

Inspired by the yellow ring of the famous Olympic logo, the Gel GTII “Yellow Ring” boasts a smooth yellow suede profile with a touch of blue and bold black accents. The unique blue pops the heel cup, outsole, and laces, while reflective black 3M strikes through the medial side and midsole.

-         3M cross-stripe logo: stunning reflective overlay for an eye-popping detail that also increases the visibility of the runner at night

-         Suede upper: a buttery yellow suede upper creates a smooth yet vibrant look

-         Black 3M details: a black strip of reflective 3M dresses the eye stay and runs through the cross-stripe logo over the medial side, creating a bold character

-         Multi-colored rubber outsole: delivers the ultimate traction for running in style

-         One piece medial logo: one-piece construction of the medial cross-stripe reduces the weight, helping seize even the slightest advantage

-         Gold insole: a comfortable, metallic-brushed insert inspired by the gold medal, reminding wearers of their ultimate goals that lie ahead

-         Gel cushioning: maximum, lightweight comfort engineered for running

-         Two sets of laces: yellow and blue
