The Gel Lyte V is one of ASICS 'most iconic runners, first released in 1993 and combining the strengths of other models from the brand at the time - the light weight of the Saga and the comfort of the Gel Lyte line. Instead of a split tongue like the Lyte III, there is a built-in neoprene sock that fits snugly around the foot. The Gel cushioning system has been redesigned - the gel in the sole is distributed taking into account the load received by each part of the foot. The sneakers have become lighter thanks to the refinement of the shape: it has become more classic. Material: nubuck, textile, leatherette, neoprene Technology: Upgraded Gel system, built-in neoprene "sock" Season: demi-season
