mita ASICS GEL-Lyte III OG "Trico 2024" | mita

mita & ASICS have a strong collaborative bond in the world of sneakers. Coming together more than a dozen times, few were as heartfelt as the TRICO GEL-LYTE 3, which was introduced in 2020 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the silhouette.

Fast forward four years, the Olympics have inspired them to revisit that iconic shoe. The two partners are joining forces once again on this reimagined model, reshaping the TRICO color scheme to pay tribute to Paris.

Essentially, this sneaker plays with different hues while maintaining the distinctive design tweaks that made the 2020 version so captivating. The standout feature remains the zipper closure that gives a new look to the GL3’s traditional split tongue.

Additionally, the quilted pattern around the collar adds another layer of intricate detailing. Inside the collar, you’ll find silky geometric prints, a chain link pattern on the quarter, and a rear pull tab (a common characteristic in mita’s collection) that all contribute to the complexity of this pair.

As for the colors, a cobalt suede toe-box, a white base, and hints of red on the edges mirror the Tricolore flag’s colors, symbolically nodding to the significance of Paris as the inspiration behind these hues.

The mita x ASICS GEL-Lyte III “Trico 2024” will be available on July 27th at Mita Sneakers and various outlets across Japan, priced at ¥19,800.

Specifics regarding a global release and pricing are yet to be confirmed, but considering the origins of the collaborators, it’s probable that this shoe will remain exclusive to Japan. Nevertheless, you can get a closer look at this release through the official images provided below.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
