The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 “Dolphin Grey Pure Silver” revisits the Y2K running icon with a sleek metallic finish, balancing retro tech style and modern sneaker culture. Cool grey tones and shimmering overlays highlight the silhouette’s layered construction, making it one of the cleanest takes on the Kayano revival.

Design & Materials

The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 'Dolphin Grey Pure Silver' combines breathable mesh in Dolphin Grey with high-shine Pure Silver synthetic overlays, reinforcing the dynamic paneling that defined the original 2008 model. The sculpted midsole adds depth and structure, while subtle logo hits at the heel and tongue nod to ASICS’ performance heritage. Its tonal palette keeps the look versatile, with metallic highlights emphasizing the tech-driven DNA of the silhouette.

Comfort & Performance

True to its performance roots, the Kayano 14 features rearfoot and forefoot GEL cushioning, ensuring impact absorption and step-in comfort. A TRUSSTIC midfoot system provides lightweight stability, while the EVA midsole delivers long-lasting support. Originally built for long-distance runs, the pair remains equally reliable as a lifestyle sneaker.
