• Hailing from Germany is renown sneaker store Afew, which recently collaborated with athletic sneaker brand ASICS for a new iteration of their ever popular Gel Lyte 3 retro running shoe. Afew’s hometown of Dusseldorf, has a proven Japanese based community (second largest after Japan) and to pay homage to the history installed in this community, Afew drew inspiration from the infamous Japanese koi carp. The Afew x ASICS Gel Lyte III “Koi” is presented in a special wooden box, inspired by a classic Japanese Bento Box, and includes two extra pairs of specially designed laces (wasabi and soy sauce!), a white dust-bag and some Afew x ASICS chopsticks. Stay tune for the whole package will be released on Japan Day 2015 (May 30), and comes with a handy booklet explaining the full story behind the celebration.
