The GEL-LYTE® V sneaker draws inspiration from its original design that debuted in 1993.

This shoe's original upper design process focused on montaging various features from different sketches that had previously been thrown away by various designers. We applied a similar approach for this rendition by using suedes and mesh paneling to create the upper.​

Additionally, the tooling retains its signature wavy design from when it first hit the running market in 1993.
