DETAILS
The “Splash City” marks the first collaboration between BAIT and Asics to use the Gel Lyte V, the classic runner that was first introduced in 1993. The shoe’s running heritage draws parallels to the run-and-gun style of basketball seen in the Bay Area throughout the years.
The design features colors inspired by the local team. A familiar blue hue wraps around the toe and heel, and is also used for the gradient wave design on the midsole for added splash. Meanwhile, the black leather formstripe is highlighted with a 3M Sunny Gold tiger-stripe.
The upper is constructed from premium pigskin suede and nubuck overlays that house the Gel Lyte V’s signature neoprene sockliner. The shoe also features BAIT basketball artwork on the insoles and three sets of laces – black rope, black flat, and blue flat.
Available in men’s sizes 5-12, 13
