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 previous editions like the 14 are frequently trotted out in new colorways alongside that concurrent silhouette. Additionally, the Japanese giant has allowed pretty unfettered access to the backlog to collaborators, allowing names like Vivienne Westwood and AWAKE NY reaching back for throwback silhouettes in their collections.
