Get Ready to Cop this Exclusive Drop

Commonwealth, a specialty boutique hub for men's lifestyle fashion, has teamed up with Asics to introduce the Gemini Gel-Lyte V. Inspired by the Gemini constellation, symbolizing twins, these sneakers echo each other's design while contrasting in materials—where one features leather paneling, the other boasts suede, creating a dynamic interplay of textures.

"May being the fifth month, and astrologically, Gemini starts in that month. It’s not exactly the typical way people choose to find a theme to design around, but inspiration can spawn from any thing, place or time."

– Omar Quiamba, Commonwealth co-founder

Inspiration often stems from diverse sources. In this case, our journey began with the iconic Gel Lyte V model, with the number "five" as our starting point, leading us on a creative exploration. As May marks the fifth month and heralds the Gemini season on the astrological calendar, the design pays homage to this celestial alignment with a fusion of style and symbolism.
