ASICS' GEL-Kayano 14 Shoe Gets a White and Silver Update

— May 24, 2025 — Fashion
ASICS introduces a new tonal iteartion of the GEL-Kayano 14 sneaker model with a White and Silver colorway palette set to join the roster for the Fall 2025 season. It is designed in a minimal aesthetic which fuses retro running models with a modern day sneaker theme which sees a silhouette with a minimal form.

It starts off with a white mesh material making up the upper and then details it with a silver overlay on top. Kahki accents continue for some tonal contrast at the midsole unit to give it a vintage aesthetic as black highlights the brand's iconic tiger stripes seen along the medial side of the shoe. The versatile silhouette is set to launch later this year.
