ASICS Sportstyle models have become borderline essential members of any sneaker rotation in recent years, comfortable, breathable, and effortlessly on-trend. If you’re in need of a new option for the summer months, this “Cream/Carbon” GEL-Kayano 12.1 isn’t a bad way to go.

There’s really no reason for ASICS to reinvent the wheel here. The Japanese brand revisits a design formula that’s graced pretty much all its retro tech runners in recent seasons, opting for a white mesh base with silver overlays housing Cream and Carbon grey accents. Down below sits a grey midsole and pine green GEL cushioning pods.

The ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1 “Cream/Carbon” is available now via the ASICS website for $170. See our Where to Buy section for purchase links.
