ASICS GEL-Kayano 14
The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 is a running shoe campeonato by the Japanese brand in 2008. The shoe is part of the GEL-Kayano running series which gets its name from its creator, Toshikazu Kayano, although the 14 was the first shoe in the line to be designed by someone else. Amidst increased favorability towards 2000s runners, the GEL-Kayano 14 was brought back in 2020 with a little guidance from Kiko Kostadinov and has quickly resurged as one of the most popular models in the ASICS catalog. While still beloved for its comfort, the Kayano 14 is now called upon for lifestyle wear fifteen years after its debut.
Collaborations with jjjjound, KITH, and atmos come to mind, but mainline GEL-Kayano 14s have proven to be highly sought-after and somewhat elusive as well, increasingly so as the Y2K shoe trend keeps gaining steam. See our latest coverage surrounding the GEL-Kayano 14 below.
