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. Only this time, we've revamped the midsole's construction by using at least 20% recycled materials to support more sustainable manufacturing.
