It’s Okay to Laugh at the UP THERE x ASICS GEL-Lyte III ‘Kookaburra’

Fresh off their new store opening, Melbourne boutique UP THERE are back with ASICS for a GEl-LYTE III collaboration inspired by an Australian icon, the Kookaburra. This pair will follow the retailer’s debut linkup with the Japanese brand, which saw the GT-II decked out in an eye-catching floral combo. Looking to have a laugh for the newest ‘Kookaburra’ joint venture, UP THERE didn’t take themselves too seriously.

The entire upper mirrors the iconic Aussie bird, composed with brown and cream tones plus, speckled midfoot detailing and light blue accents. A nappy suede wraps the heel while a smooth suede and mesh have been used for the toe and mid sections. Specialised detailing comes through via a co-branded graphic insole, custom box and extra socks.

The UP THERE x ASICS GEL-Lyte III ‘Kookaburra’ will launch via the retailer’s channels on October 27 with a global release to follow on November 4.
