The Concepts x ASICS partnership continues this summer with another GEL-LYTE III. Inspired by Japanese tuna and restaurant culture, the Concepts x ASICS GEL-LYTE III “Otoro” arrives soon.

The collaborative pair is built with premium pigskin suede as Concepts’ attention to detail is unmatched. The pair also includes “Concepts” and “GEL-LYTE III” branded on the shoe’s lateral sides. Honoring Japanese culture, the insoles have crashing waves and the tuna graphic to tie the shoe and its colorway together.

“Our relationship with Asics has allowed some of our most unique storylines. With ‘Otoro,’ we’re able to relay an amazing story and do so with utmost attention to material and execution,” says Deon Point, Concepts’ Creative Director.

The Concepts x ASICS GEL-LYTE III “Otoro” releases on June 11 at 10 a.m. EST via cncpts.com, Concepts Boston and Concepts NYC. As always, our release day strategy and monitors will have members ready for drop day.

Keep it locked for more ASICS news, and head over to SoleSavy to learn more about the most genuine sneaker community out there and how to buy releases like this one.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
