ASICS GEL-LYTE III Lite-Brite – Worlds Largest
Who here remembers the old school Lite-Brite from back in the day? As a young’n i use to have a ton of fun with that thing and even in my mid 20s today i can still tool around with it and amuse myself for a few minutes.
In honor of their popular GEL-LYTE III, a featured style for edgy artist collaborations, ASICS designed the worlds largest Lite-Brite displaying a pair of the GEL-LYTE III’s. The specially designed Lite-Brite was debuted at a special VIP event at Splashlight Studios in New York City back in October which at that time ASICS received an official certificate from the Guinness Book of World Records.
The previous Guinness World Record for the Largest Lite-Brite Picture measured 4 ft. 9.25 in. by 9 ft. 9.5 in. and was constructed with 124,418 pegs. The unit which ASICS designed is illuminated over an 11 ft. by 15 ft canvas and has more than 300,000 original-sized pegs putting the old record to shame.
Currently the ASICS Lite-Brite unit is making its way around the country as part of the ASICS Lite-Brite Tour Across America. From time to time the GEL-LYTE III Lite-Brite will be appearing at major music events and designer footwear boutiques, offering viewers an up-close view at the worlds largest Lite-Brite.

Asics has made quite an impact for themselves within the past year with numerous collaborations and tons of releases which have gotten more then a few people talking. One of their future releases which has caught our eye is the Asics Gel Lyte Speed ‘Grey Goose’.
The upper of the Grey Goose Asics Gel Lyte Speed yields a buttery smooth grey suede upper in three shades of grey. A red and white stripe pattern is applied to the mid-sole and the laces while 3M detailing is used throughout the upper just incase the stripes dont add enough of their own “pop”.
