Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III “Salmon Toe” Release Info
Not only is Ronnie Fieg releasing the Salmon Toe Asics Gel Lyte III, but the grand opening of his store, KITH, is also right around the corner. To celebrate the grand opening and Salmon Toes, Ronnie and his crew created a limited edition collector’s box set, which is limited to 40 pairs. There will be pairs that release at KITH without the collector’s box, and pairs will also be available on kithnyc.com on Friday, September 30 at 11am EST.
Here’s all the details:
It’s been a long time coming. As most know, these started out as a sample from a few years back. I showed some of my closest friends, and they were very skeptical. By skeptical I mean, they thought I was fucking insane for trying to drop, what they thought to be a “pink” shoe. By the advice of my crew, I decided to give them away as a one of one giveaway. The response was kinda crazy, and I got hit with a lengthy e-mail petition to produce the Salmon Toes. So, about a year ago I finally had them made. These are a big deal to me, and not only because of the response they have gotten, but because this release is also going to mark the grand opening of KITH. I wanted both the release and grand opening to be extravagant and I’ve worked extra hard on this to make sure it’s as special to you, as it is to me.
To assure this is going to be epic I’ve included some exclusive pieces for the in-store release. With the help of my good friend Chris Lee over at Good Wood and KITH’s newly appointed, genius graphic designer MASCustoms, we’ve created the craziest sneaker packaging ever. The details of this box are absolutely insane and it’s made from the most premium and heavyweight wood we could engrave. The box will include a KITH x Asics collaborative Salmon Toe T-Shirt (100% heavy-weight cotton and made in the USA). The last piece to complete the collector’s set will be the wooden dog tags, which were also produced with the help of my homie Chris Lee. These tags include both the KITH symbol and logo, Asics logo, as well as our motto, “Just Us.”
My objective has always been to make people feel like they are getting more than what they are paying for. This is an extremely special release to me, and I am grateful to everyone that is taking part in it. I want to give a special shout to Angel for the Salmon Toe shots, and SQ for the Collector’s Box shots. You guys absolutely murdered these shots.

This pair and the leather backs have my name all over em…… Any ideas were to cop from?
Derrrrr just read the last part of the writeup…..never mind……but thanx
need/want these, im sure it will be a pain in the arse to get a pair, hope the servers at least wont crash for an hour…also resellers are going to be getting their rape on with those wooden boxes
These are sexy, is there anywhere in Atlanta that will get these?
I need these…. they are my exact wedding colors and im wearing sneakers with my tux at the reception!!!!
Pretty cool… box packaging is CrAzY! If you don’t absolutely have to have RF’s stamp on a pair of Asics then check out the selection on PYS right now… they’ve got some great CW’s in different models!
ahh finally!
Always wondered when these were going to release. Anyone know if these will ship international from the site? damn…i need some help to get these!
@icegroove – International shipping should be available.
Not going to get my hopes up…after TWO server disappointments. But will definitely try.
(Hopefully it’ll be a 1 per household release.)
It’s going to me a nightmare w/ international shipping available.
Thanks G-man!
Im really gonna try hard to get a pair of these. Might have to take a day off for these and go camp for a lil while.
No International Shipping
why isnt the site working?
servers are crashing again.. same with any rf release. im pissed.
well that was fun…10.5s got sold out in like 2 minutes
i actually managed to get a pair through refreshing and refreshing again. my fingers hurt. i got a 11.5, that isnt even my size but it’ll do. if anyone has a 10-11, preferably a 10.5 i would trade you.
Long Ong, let me know if you want to sell those 11.5s.
i will get back to you once i get them in the mail. if you have anything to trade i might consider that too.
Long Ong – I have a DS pair of the RF GT2 ultramarine size 10. If you are on the community holla at me on there. If not, sign up, it’s the jam.
thats a pair i wanted for a while. i’ll consider that. might sell it also. and cool, im signing up for that right now. hit you up.
