Ronnie Fieg’s extensive body of work is undoubtedly highlighted by his collaborations with Asics and the GEL-Lyte III silhouette. Although the shoes have been around for twenty-five years, the retro renaissance put these split-tongued classics into the limelight with much of the load carried by the NewYork native.

Ronnie Fieg has distinguished himself from the pack of shoe designers with his ever-evolving color-blocking. In an extremely exclusive exhibit (a guest list of just 50 people) entitled What The at Miami’s Joshua Liner Gallery Fieg displayed unreleased shoes alongside thirteen of his past GEL-Lyte III designs and a curated selection of hand-picked artwork. Fieg also plans to launch an accompanying book titled Homage.

Athletic Shoe aficionados (aka Sneakerheads) are wondering when or if the What The Fiegs will even release. Given the language of their press release, we anticipate it may come sooner than later. O&A NYC gives you an inside look at the What The exhibit.
