ASICS has added another top-shelf member to its Sportstyle line with the GEL-Kinetic 2.0, a premium $250 model featuring scutoid GEL cushioning and design language that feels both futuristic and nostalgic. More colorways are slowly starting to surface, now including this “Lichen Green” option for Summer 2026.

Official images show a full Lichen Green upper spanning mesh, TPU, and other synthetic elements, save for the segmented heel area, which leans more toward a simple grey. The top half of the midsole appears in off-white, while a dark burgundy frame houses silver GEL pods.

The ASICS GEL-Kinetic 2.0 “Lichen Green” is due out Summer 2026 for $250. See official images below if you’re considering copping, and hit our Sneaker Release Dates page for more.
