In the world of warfare, ruse de guerre or “False Flag” operations describe those covert military and paramilitary missions that are carried out in such a way that it seems as if they are being executed by entities or nations other than those who are truly responsible. With this theme in mind Undefeated teamed up with Asics for the last Gel Lyte V collaboration of 2014. Draped in black nubuck with a speckled grey midsole, this release is punctuated by a military orange leather heel cap while the insoles have been decorated with a motif inspired by that of vintage military zonal maps and coordinates. In this case, modified with subtle UNDFTD branding. The woven reflective laces weren’t really my cup of tea so i replaced them with plain black ones.
Much respect to the Undefeated team for an outstanding collab that ranks itself amongst the top three of 2014s Gel Lyte V’s in my opinion.
