Asics Tiger Revives a Classic Hoops Sneaker, the Gel-PTG MT

Reintroduced for Asics’ AW17 collection, the Gel-PTG MT pays homage to the brand’s first basketball sneaker.

Introduced in 1983, the Fabre Point Getter was Asics’ first foray into basketball footwear; it featured kangaroo leather, perforations for ventilation, and a slightly articulated outsole for grip and agility. Now, the classic has been updated for lifestyle with modern tech including an OrthoLite insole an a fuzeGel heel wedge unit for better cushioning.

True to the original, the Asics Gel-PTG MT has dropped in two simple colorways overseas — black/black and black/white — for £89.00 (approx. $115 USD) each. Overseas retailers like Hanon, Stuarts of London, and TGWO have the Asics Gel-PTG MT stocked but there is no official word yet on when the silhouette is coming Stateside. Stay updated with your local boutiques.

Are you excited Asics Tiger is digging in the crates and updating gems? Sound off below.
