Flamingo, year released: 2013 . In 2013, Ronnie Fieg and Asics approached nature for the inspiration of this GEL-Lyte III. Wild flamingos' main food source, brine shrimp, are rich in organic pigments that transform the flamingos' natural gray feathers to the vibrant pink usually associated with the birds. The sneaker mainly features tones of gray while hints of pastelle pink and blues accent the rest of the shoe.
