Asics Gel-Kayano 14

The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 is a significant style in the Asics lineup, first introduced in 2008. This running shoe, named after its original designer, Toshikazu Kayano, stands out as the first model in the Gel-Kayano series designed by someone other than Kayano himself. Hidenori Yamashita took the reins for this edition, introducing a design based on the concept of "flash." This concept is reflected in the shoe's colors, lines, materials, and silhouette, aiming to capture the dynamic motion of a runner.

The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 was lauded for its comfort upon its release, incorporating technologies that enhanced both performance and support. The GEL technology in the heel ensures excellent shock absorption, while the TRUSSTIC technology in the midsole maintains the shoe's stability without adding extra weight. The unique mesh upper and biomorphic outsoles further contribute to its comfort, making it a favorite among runners and fashion enthusiasts alike.

Most people wear these true to size but some other, maybe with wider feet, order with half-size up.

After its initial release, the Gel-Kayano 14 resurfaced in popularity around 2020, aligning with the Y2K fashion trend. Its return to mainstream popularity saw it become a sought-after item, especially in collaborations with notable studios like JJJJound, which boosted its status as a fashion icon.
