Monkey Time x ASICS Gel Lyte V ‘Sand Layer’

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Judging form its name, the shoes’ main source of inspiration did indeed come from the granular material we enjoy burying our feet and loved ones under by the beach. These shoes are made of quality pigskin nubuck — sorry again halal friends, evidently the best things in life are made from something that’s forbidden — while its laces are made from waxed cotton. There are also bits of suede on the back counter of the heel while its midsole is meant to portray a scene from the desert. That’s what the entire design is supposed to remind the wearer of — a desert, more specifically sand dunes. The various shades of brown do resemble the colour of actual sand, so maybe it’ll feel just as light and soft as an actual desert? Hopefully not as hot…
