Asics Gel Kayano
GEL-Kayano is one of the longest running performance lines out of Japanese imprint ASICS. Toshikazu Kayano designed the first iteration of what’d become the storied series bearing his name in 1993, aiming to achieve both unwavering stability and lightweight performance. Since that point, the ASICS GEL-Kayano has received new models on just about a yearly basis.
The current ASICS GEL-Kayano model is the 30, but the GEL-Kayano 14 is unquestionably the more impactful sneaker from a streetwear perspective. One of the faces of the modern tech runner movement, the GK14 marks continuous sell-outs on both its general release colorways and a sturdy catalog of collabs. ASICS has united with the likes of KITH, The Museum Visitor and Zach Bia’s Field Trip Recordings in just the past few months.
Finally, on top of the 14 and 30, the Japanese giant has allowed access to the Gel-Kayano backlog to select collaborators. Names like Vivienne Westwood and AWAKE NY have reached back to more underrated silhouettes like the GK5 and GK17 for their respective capsules.
Below you can find our latest coverage of the ASICS GEL-Kayano line, including release dates and new colorways.
