Four years after a sample was teased on the internet, the Solebox x ASICS Tiger GEL-LYTE III “Blue Carpenter Bee” finally has its official release. Found in Australia, the bee has a unique metallic blue-green appearance. Solebox applies this to the ASICS Tiger GEL-LYTE III, giving the uppers a black nubuck leather and a blue microsuede split tongue.

Solebox labeling can be found on the heel panel and one side of the translucent outsole, while a graphic of the blue carpenter bee is printed on the insoles and the other side of the outsole. Three sets of laces are included with this collaborative sneaker. The Solebox x ASICS Tiger GEL-LYTE III “Blue Carpenter Bee”, takes inspiration from the Xylocopa bombylans, an insect that’s also known as the blue carpenter bee.
