Asics GEL-Kayano 14

In 1993, Asics celebrated the launch of the Gel-Kayano series, named after its designer Toshikazu Kayano. In 2020, Asics has already released the 27th version! With the Gel-Kayano 13, Toshikazu Kayano ended his work on the Gel-Kayano series and handed over responsibility to new designers. At the time, Kayano couldn't imagine his shoes being worn outside of running tracks, but he is flattered that the retro versions of his running shoe series have now firmly established themselves in the lifestyle segment. The Gel-Kayano 14, the first “non-Toshikazu” Kayano, represents an important milestone in the history of the Gel-Kayano series. The new edition retains the midsole features and GEL cushioning technology of the original model. Minor adjustments have been made to the fit. With this new version, Asics has perfectly captured the spirit of the times. The layered construction of synthetic leather and mesh is typical of the popular runners of the millennium.
