The Versatility of ASICS GEL-KAYANO Shoes

The first pair of ASICS GEL-KAYANO shoes landed in 1993, and since then, there have been many different versions, one of which is the popular 14 model, initially released in 2008. Despite originally being marketed to the running crowd, after returning to the spotlight in 2020, the 14, having had an extended period of scarcity, transitioned into a lifestyle sneaker. Later models, like the 29 and 30, have built upon the 14’s success, capitalising on new technological developments, allowing sneakerheads to stay ahead of the competition.

Though wearing GEL-KAYANO sneakers in more casual settings is perfectly acceptable, they’re purpose-built for fitness, particularly long-distance running. The concept for the shoe originated from designer Toshikazu Kayano, whose name was adopted for the collection. He sought to create a multi-functional trainer with lateral and linear support, adapting to the requirements of running and gym training.

Thanks to its stability, durability, and supportive GEL cushioning, the GEL-KAYANO is a favourite of exercise enthusiasts and a great entry point for those looking to improve their physical well-being. They can be worn to tackle all terrain, from the road to the treadmill, so you can experience true comfort wherever you find yourself. What’s more, the shoes are tailored to the individual needs of wearers, being lighter for women and more rigid for men.
