The is a legend, but so far in 2025 we haven’t seen much of the split-tongued model. Last year was top-tier for the GLIII, coming correct with collaborations alongside both for a throwback colourway and celebratory Korea-themed variation. Also in 2024 at Fashion Week, debuted a linkup with the Kobe brand, reimagining the GEL-Lyte III in a plaid.

Sneakers adorned in plaid is nothing new, notable pairs include and the iconic , but we don’t think we’ve ever witnessed a GEL-Lyte III like this. Each have been adorned in the pattern from head-to-toe with the only exceptions being the liner, laces and outsole. Adding the finishing touch, CDG add their branding on the lateral midsole.

Like we said in the title, you gotta pay for plaid! You can cop the Comme des Garçons SHIRT x ASICS GEL-Lyte III for 395 euros or approximately $430 through select EU stockists like Footdistrict now.
