Your urban survival pack has gained a new essential item - and it's far more useful than a compass. Meet Asics' Exploration Tech pack.
Understanding the brutal pounding a set of shoes can take on your commute/night out, the Japanese label has swapped out the regular mesh toe box on its Gel Saga and Lyte III for a tech-tough nylon weave.
Both models feature colourways that blend in with concrete surrounds, their suede uppers coming in a soft grey. Available for £95 and set to ship on 1 July, you can get your orders in at Soleheaven.com.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
