GEL-LYTE III OG (OCHAZOME)
The sunflower icon represents footwear made of at least 20% recycled materials in the shoe's main upperā.
The GEL-LYTEā¢ III OG sneaker from the OCHAZOMEā¢ draws inspiration from traditional Japanese tea ceremonies. Its upper is formed with cotton materials that were colored with a dye extracted from leftover rooibos tea production processes.
Designed by Shigeyuki Mitsui in 1990, the GEL-LYTEā¢ III silhouette retains its iconic split-tongue formation. It was a feature that initially debuted on the GEL-LD RACERā¢ shoe.
Meanwhile, key components, like its signature GELā¢ technology unit in the midsole provides everyday comfort.
