The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers made their debut in 2008 already. That same year, they received an award for the best sneaker from the leading running magazine Runner's World. Hidenori Yamashita, for whom the shoe references lightning, a symbol of explosive action, is behind the 14th model from the legendary Gel-Kayano series.
The Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers are originally running shoes, but thanks to the current trends, which make retro relevant again, these sneakers will work as your everyday footwear as well. This is due to both the adaptability of the sneaker to the shape of the foot and its breathability. So try one of the colorways of the Asics GL14 sneakers.
Materials
Upper
Suede: leather cut from the back, while the fibers remain on the surface, suede is less prone to damage than nubuck.
Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.
Footbed
OrthoLite®: OrthoLite® is renowned for its high-performance, comfortable insoles that use open-cell foam technology to provide superior cushioning and breathability.
Midsole
GEL™: A cushioning gel that provides comfort, reduces the impact on the heel and protects against otherwise unnecessary injuries.
Sole
Rubber: The rubber outsole provides excellent grip and durability on a variety of surfaces. Thanks to its elasticity, it absorbs shock, increasing comfort when walking or running.
Healthy body, healthy mind. That is the hidden message in the Asics brand name, which is an acronym for an old Latin proverb. The original Asics sneakers featured the Onitsuka Tiger branding, which refers to the founder Kihachiro Onitsuka. These days, the sneakers are branded with the well-known "a."
Asics sneakers have long been perceived by the public only as high-quality running shoes. But the hidden potential of Japanese design has only reached its full potential at the end of the last decade. That's when the very successful Asics Gel-Kayano 5 sneakers started to gain popularity. It's not just this silhouette though, the Asics Gel-Kinsei sneakers have entered the fashion world in full force too, and they plan to play the highest league in the 2020s.
