Every iconic shoe brand has its flagship style—Nike has the Dunk, adidas has the Samba, and New Balance has the 990. For ASICS, that shoe is the GEL-KAYANO 14.

The 2008 runner was more than ahead of its time with tech like GEL cushioning and TRUSSTIC support, landing the coveted “International Editor’s Choice” from Runner’s World. Yet, its story doesn’t end on the treadmill.

Fast forward to 2020, and the Y2K wave brought the KAYANO 14 roaring back. Beyond just a nostalgia trip—the design’s brilliance and functionality never went out of style. Collaborations with fashion heavyweights like Kiko Kostadinov and a legion of influencers cemented its place as a status symbol.

From the unmistakable mesh and paneling, to the gleaming tiger stripes, every detail whispers heritage and innovation. So, whether you’re crushing miles or crushing the streets, the ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 delivers peak performance and peak style.

Buckle up, because we’re about to explore the hottest colorways and collaborations that make this shoe a must-have for any collection.
