Up There x Asics Gel Lyte lll 'Kookaburra'
ASICS X UPTHERE It’s not your iconic Aussie green and gold colourway, but this is definitely “up there” with all the iconic Australian inspired sneaker collaborations. The earthy tones and textures of materials that reflect the kookaburra’s plumage, and the striking turquoise, is a perfect representation of the kingfisher. You can definitely see the inspiration for the design, this is why the ASICS X UpThere Kookaburra is in my top 10 pickups of 2023. I mean if your best mate, who has no interest in sneakers whatsoever, asks you about this pair and purchases it, that’s gotta count for something right!?
Hey fam, my name’s Emmanuel and I go by @kickinitwithgee on Instagram. I’ve been actively collecting sneakers since 2013, however, my sneaker journey started decades before that. One thing I love about the sneaker community are the connections you make with like minded people. Those connections led me to be part of a collective known as SoleKitchenAU.
