Andrew Rizzo South Korean brand UNAFFECTED is circling back with another ASICS collaboration, once again taking on the iconic GEL-Kayano running line. Following a compelling trio of Kayano 14s in late 2023, the tech-heavy imprint is set to bring its gorpcore design language to the resurgent GEL-Kayano 20.
Three colorways are on tap, all of which come with a series of outdoor-minded texture swaps. The shoe’s traditionally leather toe cap and sidewalls are replaced by TPU material, comprising a cage-like structure for added security. Semi-clear synthetic material overtakes the tongue and forefoot portion of the base, with the toe portion armoring up with an additional layer that bleeds deep into the lateral side. Ballistic mesh appears around the collar, while pull laces further a clear trail shoe aesthetic. UNAFFECTED checks in with “Obsidian Grey,” “Dark Cherry,” and “Cream/Lake Grey” colorways, embracing monochrome looks so as to let the heavy material change carry the load.
All three UNAFFECTED x ASICS GEL-Kayano 20s release via ASICS and select retailers on December 13th. Budget for a $220 shelf price if you’re considering adding a pair to your rotation.
