A collegiate inspired palette brings a clean and versatile update to the classic runner.
A Balanced Take on a Classic Silhouette
ASICS is set to release the GEL SD LYTE in a new Midnight and Cream colorway, offering a sleek and understated update to the heritage model. The design leans into a collegiate aesthetic, pairing deep navy tones with soft neutral accents for a look that feels both modern and timeless.
Material Contrast and Subtle Details
The upper combines breathable mesh with durable suede overlays, dressed primarily in rich midnight blue across the toe box and quarters. Cream accents appear along the ASICS side stripes, tongue branding, and heel tab, creating a refined two tone effect. Matching midnight laces keep the look cohesive, while subtle cream highlights emphasize the layered construction of the shoe.
Release Information
A cream colored midsole and outsole balance the darker upper and provide visual contrast, while textured tread patterns enhance everyday wearability. The ASICS GEL SD LYTE Midnight and Cream is scheduled to release on February 5 through ASICS, priced at ¥19,800 JPY, approximately $130 USD.
