Product Description

Racing straight out of the 1980s, the gel-lyte series set the standard for lightweight running shoes. Three generations on, the gel-lyte iii has evolved, while still keeping its colour-blocking bold style and running-shoe good looks. Get the best of both worlds, with unique style and performance. These are sneakers that will keep up with your hectic lifestyle, while still making you look good. Feel the comfort with gel cushioning and a split tongue that defines this shoe.

In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

Best Sneaker I Ever Bought
I didn't realize when I bought them that these are actually a slip-on sneaker. The lack of a tongue lets you adjust them for as tight as you want them (re-tied each time or slip-on) as well as providing extra air circulation for your feet. The style is sharp, with leather striping and eye-catching stitching. Overall, the best sneaker I've ever owned.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice shoes but be careful with the size.
Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2014
Verified Purchase
I really like the gel cushion, very comfortable to walk around. Price is good with the 20% off promotion.

Color: is lighter grey than the dark grey in amazon picture, but fine with me! I took a picture, according to me it's soft grey. But well, amazon put it dark grey/ soft grey...

Size issue:

My feet is about 37 EU, but for sports shoes I normally pick 37.5 EU. Therefore according to the amazon description, I should pick size 6.5 US. However, when I received the shoes, the label on the shoes state it's equivalent to 37EU. I must say that Asics size 37 is a bit tight and narrow, although it's medium fit... Therefore I have to change to US size 7, which I hoped to be equivalent to EU size 37.5, but it jumps to 38 according to the shoe label. Nevertheless, 38 fits much more comfortable!

I love these trainers. Very comfortable with great cushioned sole. I have problems with arthritis in my feet so the cushioning is very helpful and the no tongue style allows no pressure on the top if my feet which can be painful. I have added an insole as well and can walk for miles in comfort. Highly recommend these as a comfortable, durable pair of trainers.

Sólo con decir que la zapatilla es la única que me pongo desde que las compré, debería ser suficiente para deducir que es espectacular. El artículo es como me esperaba en cuanto a color, tamaño y rapidez en el envío; pero lo que no sabía es lo cómodas que son. Encantado con ellas.
