The talended Singaporean artist Mark Ong, aka Mr Sabotage or SBTG, and Limited Edt have once again teamed up with Japanese brand Asics to present us a second version of the GEL-Lyte III « Monsoon Patrol ». This new shoe takes part in the celebration of the 30 year anniversary of the emblematic split tongue silhouette.
Released in December 2018, the first iteration was inspired by the monsoon season in the city of Singapore, the discovery and exploration of nature. It featured an ultra-weather-resistant construction in khaki-brown tones (article available HERE).
The « Monsoon Patrol II » uses the same codes as its predecessor, in a lighter color palette, mixing light grey « Gris Pedmont » with lichen green and a touch of black.
It consists of a water-resistant upper in a ribbed nylon material, reminiscent of cuddly jackets, with smooth suede and hairy suede overlays. As on the first version, we find the waterproof and removable tongue cover. A discreet camouflage print on the sides of the shoe and on the insole, as well as a technical text on the side heel, already seen on the previous shoe, complete the look. A novelty appears on the instep area. The iconic split tongue is tightened by classic yellow laces topped for the first time by an additional black elastic lacing system called the « Rebel Lace System ». Another exclusive feature is the tongue cover with a reflective « Spell Out » logo embellished with the technical text and the model name. SBTG’s signature appears on the camo print on the insole and under the Asics logo. A black inner lining and heel clip complete the design. The whole is based on a white midsole with legendary GEL technology and a light grey outsole.
The Limited Edt x SGBT x ASICS GEL Lyte III « Monsoon Patrol II » will be released on January 7, 2021 on the partner’s website www.limitededt.com and sbtgsurplus.com, pour a price of 209$.
