Dropping as part of the two-piece ‘Back Streets of Japan’ pack, the ASICS Gel Lyte 3 OG ‘Ivory’ showcases a neutral palette enlivened with subtle pops of color. They include green netting on the heel tab and quarter panel, the latter further accented with ASICS’ signature tiger stripes in black leather. The rest of the upper is constructed from cream-colored mesh with synthetic suede overlays in varying shades of grey. The sneaker’s signature split-tongue construction hugs the foot in friction-free support.

In the description it did not say there was not a tongue in the shoe. It is a little weird but having to put up with repackaging them and returning them is a lil annoying to me. Had I known there was no tongue I would not have purchased them.

The “tongue” area is definitely weird looking but once you lace them up it looks pretty normal. Aside from that they’re pretty great I like them a lot. They fit true to size and the color was exactly as the picture looks.

Great colorway. gel lyte 3s are extremely comfortable and fit true to size. There’s a reason why they continue to make this model. It’s ones of the best ever.

This shoe does not have a traditional shoe tongue, but that's mu fault for not looking at the pictures closely. However, that is not the disappointing part. The lining in these shoes does not cover the entire inside. Specifically, the part in the middle behind the ASICS stripes is not lined and the stitching of the stripes rubs against your foot causing pain.
Color on the mesh wasn’t exactly as expected but my big issue is not double boxing sneakers. The box came completely crushed and one of the shoes was crushed coming in. Double boxing is a standard.
This is a very dope pair. The colors just pairs well and they are instant conversation starters. A must have pair if you are a lover of Gel Lyte 3’s.
Awesome shoe. The colors are more subtle in person. It’s a faint blue not white at the toe. However, since it’s not leather, it gets dirty really easily. Used a shoe cleaning kit and the dirt comes back after drying. My other shoes don’t do this. Can tell it won’t last as long so feel like not worth the price.
Suggest going a half size to a whole size up...they fit a little snug. I usually wear a 7m/8.5w in most sneakers....i have purchased the gel lyte III in other styles and my previous purchase size was 8m and the fit was roomy in the toe box. It did not feel oversized at all and was still comfortable.I purchased this particular model in a 7.5m because the 8m sold out and to me this felt like the perfect fit...but i do have to note that this model has a split tongue. So if you are ok with the split tongue having a slight gap and your socks showing go with a half size up, if you want the split tongue to fully close like i do, go a full size up.
Not what I expected in terms of materials, but definitely a comfortable sneaker. Fit is perfect and I wear 10.5 in most runner type sneakers and an 11 in Jordan OG Hi's. Love the style, but would have preferred leather/suede over the vegan friendly fabrics of this Gel Lyte III.
Love the vibrant colors of the 30th yr anniversary collection. The sneakers are comfortable. They are true to size but I up 0.5 for more space and for the tongue not to be open.
