Update 12.01.2021

After ASICS released the GEL-Lyte III "Baltic Jewel" in December, the label now returns with another colourway. This time, the classic gets the typical "Classic Red/Black" livery, which is usually also seen on the Daruma mannequin.

The details are to remain the same, with the blue-green overlays being swapped for red ones. Presumably, there will also be a colour-matched Daruma-style hangtag on this pair.

The sneakers have already been released in some regions. It is likely that the sneakers will soon be released here at ASICS and selected retailers.

ASICS has unveiled its new GEL-Lyte III. The ASICS GEL-Lyte III "Baltic Jewel" has a very vivid colourway and channels Buddhist energy with a special Daruma hangtag. You can find all the info on the sneaker and where you can buy the model here.

The traditional Japanese Daruma Dolls are usually coloured red and inspired by the bearded Zen master Bodhidharma, but ASICS' iteration is served up with a bright teal colourway.

That's why this sneaker stands out. The ASICS GEL-Lyte III "Baltic Jewel" has a rubberised hangtag and takes the design from the lucky charm with black patent leather stripes and gold accents. The background is a perforated white leather and offers a solid contrast to the black laces. Of course, the ASICS GEL-Lyte III "Baltic Jewel" also gets the split tongue and a triple midsole for immense comfort.

You can now buy the ASICS GEL-Lyte III "Baltic Jewel" at Footpatrol for only 130€. You can find the link to the shop at footpatrol.
