Celebrating 26 years since his iconic Ironman album, Ghostface Killah has linked up with New York boutique Extra Butter, New Era, and Asics Tiger for a unique capsule collection.
The Extra Butter x Ghostface x Asics Tiger Gel Lyte MT ($180) is inspired by one of Ghostface’s many nicknames, “Pretty Toney,” and his love of premium leather jackets. His sneaker is an aggressive and luxurious redesign of the Gel Lyte MT, an Asics sneakerboot for winter, that sits atop gum bottoms.
Lathered in several different leather treatments including ostrich, perforated, and quilted, the burgundy sneaker flaunts design elements never seen on Asics footwear before — rivets, belt straps, and a zippered lace gaiter — that emphasize the leather jacket inspiration.
Ghostface’s Gel Lyte MT ‘Pretty Toney’ will launch alongside a premium New Era capsule. The first piece is a 9Fifty Strapback ($36) that matches the leather aesthetics of the sneaker. According to Extra Butter, the hat features a quilted visor and an embroidered eagle graphic that honors the infamous golden eagle gauntlet Ghostface would don in music videos and at concerts. The second piece is a cable knit New Era Beanie ($24) with tanned leather branding.
The entire Extra Butter x Ghostface Killah ‘Pretty Toney’ collection will release at ComplexCon on November 4 and 5. It will launch in-store and online on November 7.
