To celebrate the 60th anniversary of X-Men, Kith and Marvel created a robust collection, including Asics sneakers, Kith apparel, Modernica furniture, Upper Deck trading cards, and more. The collection draws from X-Men’s longstanding impact on comics and pop culture with influence from Ronnie Fieg’s childhood pastime of collection cards. Each of the 7 GEL-LYTE III colorways represents X-Men characters, including Beast, Cyclops, Gambit, Rogue, Storm, and two Wolverine variations.

• Beast – This model features a predominantly blue upper crafted from hairy pigskin suede, inspired by its namesake character. The Tiger Stripes are executed in white leather, which complement the white GEL-cushioned midsole and sockliner.
• Cyclops – A mixture of navy, royal blue, yellow and red are applied across the upper. The vamp and quarter panels use sport mesh while the overlays are executed with smooth premium nubuck and leather.
• Gambit – This model is color-blocked using shades of tan and brown with red accents. Premium nubuck is used throughout, with microperforated detailing seen on the vamp and quarter panels.
• Rogue – This colorway channels its namesake character’s iconic green and yellow palette, as perforated pigskin suede is overlaid with smooth leather panels. Olive accents are used for the Tiger Stripes and sockliner.
• Storm – Pony hair covers the upper of this model, as a nod to its namesake character’s flowing silver hair. The material is seen in white and grey, while black leather is used for the Tiger Stripes.
• Wolverine 1975 – The colorway of this model is inspired by one of Wolverine’s earliest suits, and perhaps his most well-known, which debuted in 1975. Yellow perforated pigskin suede is seen on the vamp and quarter panels, while smooth leather in blue and black is applied to the overlays.
• Wolverine 1980 – The colorway of this model is inspired by another famous Wolverine suit, which debuted in 1980. Yellow perforated pigskin suede is seen on the vamp and quarter panels, while smooth leather in brown and red is applied to the overlays.

Inspired by the mystery and excitement of collecting cards, every pair arrives in a collectible sealed box that resembles X-Men trading card packaging. Customers will not know which colorway they will receive upon purchase and must remove the tearaway seal on the box to discover. Attendees of the San Diego Comic-Con from July 19 to 23 will get an early chance to shop the collection, and a global launch is set for July 28th. See the full collection here.
