GEL-LYTE V GODAI - Arctic Blue/Sky

This GEL-LYTE® V sneaker draws inspiration from the Japanese phrase "Godai," and how it references the five elements in Japanese philosophy. ​This shoe's upper construction is designed with leather, nubuck, and suede overlays. Each colorway is rendered with different color palettes that reflect the physical properties of the five elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Void, and Wind. The shoes are also accented with a coin dubrae that's embossed with the Japanese symbol for the element that its colorway represents.​The tooling retains its wavy design from when it first hit the running market in 1993. This design's midsole construction also features at least 20% recycled materials to support more sustainable manufacturing.​
