Debuting earlier this June in two colorways, the ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1 hybrid resurfaces at the hands of none other than Ronnie Fieg. The Kith founder, already deep in several ASICS collaborations in 2024 including the much-celebrated Kith x Marvel x ASICS collection, previews his latest take on the mash-up, revealing a light aqua blue overlay above a white base.
Although there are no outright Kith emblazonry found on the shoes, Fieg typically offers first looks at his projects on his social media. This simplistic spin on the performance-turned casual lifestyle runner is typical of the New York-based brand as they often supply some of the most pleasing colorways of retro runners time and time again.
The first batch of Kith x ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1 colorways touched on the timeless ASICS running look with silver paneling on cream meshes. The second was an indirect homage to the Knicks, appearing in quintessential touches of royal blue and orange.
Kith is soon to follow with official information regarding its next ASICS release, so stay tuned.
