The GEL-LYTE™ III OG sneakers are inspired by the changing of seasons from Summer (Natsu) to Autumn (Aki). In Japan, the celebration lies not only in the seasonal shifts but in the changes they bring about and these are embedded in long-standing traditions that have been created specifically to immerse oneself and appreciate these seasonal changes further.

This season we focus on Momijigari (or Koyo), a uniquely Japanese tradition of searching/hunting for a burgundy shade Japanese maple leaf which is reflected in our Watershed Rose and Beet Red colorway. The Lichen Rock and Edible Moss colorway perfectly encapsulates the vibrant greens of the summer season. To enhance this concept further, the material combination is expected to rival that of a collaboration, with a premium cow suede and leather, both of which possess a buttery hand-feel.
