ASICS reimagines the GEL-KAYANO 14

ASICS reimagines the GEL-KAYANO 14 model as a lifestyle shoe, which was first released in 2008 as a running shoe.

The GEL-KAYANO™14 model represented a special moment within ASICS’ history in 2008, as the first silhouette in the series to be designed by someone other than its creator Toshikazu Kayano. Instead of Kayano, Hidenori Yamashita stepped in to design the GEL-KAYANO 14 model.

The re-introduced model sports the same nostalgic, 2000’s aesthetic that paved the way for the collection on its initial release 12 years ago. The midsole tooling with GEL technology cushioning is mirrored to the re-imagined model, keeping the original model’s performance capabilities for the wearers. At the same time, material and fit improvements are made on the upper, while retaining its layered synthetic leather and mesh construction from 2008.
