If you’re not familiar with the creepy Heaven’s Gate controversy that has forever engrained itself within sneaker culture, you might not see the eerie references in the new ASICS Gel Lyte V black/purple.

With Halloween right around the corner, ASICS has released a new runner in the classic silhouette with suede and mesh finishings, lined with purple accents, including subtle paint splashes along the sole.

The ASICS Gel Lyte V Black/Purple is now available on Oneness for $120 USD.
