Taking the classic Gel Lyte V and reinterpreting it in a whole new light - this is the Gel Lyte V Sanze. Based on the brand's fan favorite since the 90s, this iteration now features a sleeker and trendier silhouette but retains its iconic predecessor's essence by maintaining its kimono-inspired upper design, the midsole's wave-like detail, and the iconic Gel technology cushioning. This newly released model now utilizes a more breathable and lighter material, which enhances the kick's overall comfort.
