Ronnie Fieg and ASICS are bringing the Gel-Lyte III “Salmon Toe” back for Kith’s 15th anniversary, revisiting one of the pairs most closely tied to the brand’s early years. The colorway first showed up in 2011 around the opening of Kith’s original New York store and has stayed connected to Fieg ever since.

That first pair released in September 2011, then Kith came back to the idea a few years later with the “Salmon Toe 2.0” in 2016. Another version followed in 2021 on the Gel-Lyte V as part of the brand’s 10th anniversary.

For 2026, the familiar navy, white, and salmon setup is back again. Navy takes over most of the upper, white lands on the ASICS branding and midsole, and soft salmon suede wraps the toe just like it did on the original.

The shoe is also part of ASICS’ Remastered series, so the shape has been adjusted to feel closer to older Gel-Lyte III pairs. The changes include tweaks to the paneling, logo placement, height, and tooling, all with the goal of getting the overall build closer to the original.

The return was revealed in Kith: The Footwear Archive, a 444-page book made with Assouline that covers 1,849 Kith footwear collaborations across 32 brands.

The Kith x ASICS Gel-Lyte III Remastered “Salmon Toe” releases September 28, 2026 through Kith stores and Kith online.
