ASICS’ footwear department has been unloading a sizable amount of new offerings for the Spring season, some of which include the single-toned GEL-Lyte Vs and GEL-PTG iterations that have been reworked with velcro straps. Now, the Japanese brand is dishing out a new Summer-ready silhouette entitled the Bondal Sandal under its SportStyle division.When assessing its overall design, its silhouette is very reminiscent of a Suicoke KISEE-V due to the nature of its airy upper and hefty strap constructions. The base layers are built with full canvas materials and split between a forefoot and a heel piece. The latter carries a velcro strap that shows off ASICS branding on the lateral side extends around the ankle to heel area. Beneath all of that is a chunky sole unit that features various interesting textures. Bulbous and oval shaped bumps are present along the lateral heels while fin-like grooves are carved on the mid-foot.Four colorways have been launched through retailer Mita including a “Wood Crepe”, “Black”, “Mantle Green” and a “Midnight/Piedmont Gray”. Retail price for the sandals is set at ¥7,040 (approx. $64 USD).For more on the latest from ASICS, peep a detailed look at its recent sneaker collaborations with the likes of Coca-Cola and Ballaholic.

Nike has released a new sustainable golf sneaker: the Victory G Lite. A lightweight, low-cut silhouette that’s debuted in three colorways — “Green Stone/White/Black/Hot Punch,” “Neutral Grey/White/Black” and “Black/Black” — the Victory G Lite was crafted to be at home both on and off the course.Each pair of this new Nike Golf silhouette features a breathable textile upper with a water-repellant membrane above a trim foam midsole with a ridged all-terrain traction pattern. All three are made of at least 20% recycled content by total weight of product, but each puts forth a different look. “Green Stone/White/Black/Hot Punch” is the most vibrant of the bunch, blending a cool-toned green upper with vivid “Hot Punch” Swooshes. “Neutral Grey/White/Black” offers an elegant flecked gray base with black Swooshes, and “Black/Black” supplies a timeless white and black look. All three are finalized by white midsoles and a Nike Sportswear-like Sunburst graphic on the insole.You can grab all three colorways of the Nike Golf Victory G Lite on the Nike webstore now.
