    Asics are so slept on. they are a true sneakerhead's sneaker who is all about the actual shoe design/colors/materials, and not about the "hype"

    • @SneakerKlev
      @SneakerKlev  Před 4 lety +5

      If I had to guess I would say marketing. Everyone knows about Adidas and Nike since they were kids but nobody seems to know about Asics and it definitely took me some time to learn about the gel lytes

    • @Goorincollector
      @Goorincollector Před 4 lety +4

      Sneaker Klev I agree. Especially out here in the United States, Asics aren’t really pushed out there compare to like Jordan,Nike,Adidas, hopefully it will one day, I love Asics such cool colorways and comfy shoe.

    I got upset that I could never get my hands on Dunk Lows. Then I came across with the new Purple Green Gel Lyte III in Asics store and was impressed with the look and quality! Not to mention no need to spend a fortune on Stockx and not able to try on!

    Gel lyte 3s and Gel saga 2 are Asics freshest sneakers. The fact that they're pretty expensive, don't come from a hype shoe manufacturer and don't have many new collabs definitely hinder the popularity of this sneaker imo.

    • @SneakerKlev
      @SneakerKlev  Před 4 lety +2

      Retail prices are usually fixed with few exceptions. This is mainly due to numbers of pairs produced. Depending on which model you are selling you can make from several dollars to maybe 2x-3x what you payed for. This is ofc a simplification so keep that in mind
