Asics x Onitsuka Tiger X Offspring ‘Desert Pack’

 

Onitsuka Tiger and Asics link up with UK based sneaker boutique Offspring to present a desert-inspired collaboration pack.

The subject of previous high profile collaborations, the Gel Lyte V undergoes its latest rework as a desert sand colour way is applied, along with blue, rich burgundy and camel  to reflect a post sunset skyline. Arriving with a premium suede upper, additional features include a part speckled midsole and Offspring branding on the insole (included on both pairs). Meanwhile Onitsuka Tiger’s sleek Shaw Runner silhouette has received an all over navy colour treatment on the durable mesh and suede upper. The shoe sits on top of a white speckled midsole and includes tropical-green detailing on the eyelets and branding, taking cues from a cold, atmospheric night in the desert.

Adding something special to the release, the brands have linked up with SayDuck to reveal the sneakers. All you have to do is download the app via iTunes or Google Play and scan it over the marker below to view 3D images of the shoes and get a closer look at the release.
