The ASICS GEL-K1011 x Sneaker Politics Live Oak is a retailer-exclusive release inspired by the strength and longevity of the iconic live oak trees found throughout Louisiana. Created in collaboration with Sneaker Politics, the sneaker blends earthy tones, layered textures, and subtle color accents to represent bark, moss, and the natural resilience associated with these historic trees.

A collection of reviews of other models of Asics! I have owned multiple pairs and although I have my favorites from the Gel Lyte series, I’m always checking for new models and redos of obscure retros.
Given the various dad shoe and mesh runner Y2K trends that seem to come in and out of style, Asics seems poised to meet the challenge with the pairs it brings to the forefront. Much like New Balance, they have a knack for staying in the conversation among sneaker fanatics no matter how odd some of the models might seem. They still bring it on comfort and value.

The Asics Gel-1130 Tiffany brings a fresh twist to one of Asics’ most accessible retro runners, earning its nickname from the unmistakable Tiffany-style blue mesh underlays throughout the upper.

My last Asics pickup (and last pickup of 2018) was the Size? x Gel Saga. After that pickup, I realized I had almost passed on one of the more historical Asics releases of late! These Asics Gel Lyte OG are done up in the original colorway of the model from 1987.
