BAIT pays tribute to San Francisco — home of the retailer’s upcoming fifth chapter store — with this new ASICS joint venture. The resulting Gel Lyte V “Splash City” uses a build that mixes a black nubuck base with blue pigskin suede overlays, along with 3M gold trim at the black leather form stripes. The shoe has coloring and a nickname inspired by the Bay Area’s own Golden State Warriors, and will launch at a preview of the new BAIT San Francisco store on April 11 and 12 only — a week before Steph Curry and the Warriors begin their playoff run. Remaining pairs will subsequently be available online.
