TLDR: The Asics GEL-Kayano 14 ‘Hinoki Beige’ brings back the retro aesthetic of the 2000s – with modernised cushioning, sustainable materials and a new design team. The sneaker will be released on 12 January 2026 and will cost €170. As always, more information is available at Grailify. The GEL-Kayano 14 pays homage to the performance era of the late 2000s and revisits the iconic design of the 2008 original. For the first time, the model was not designed by Toshikazu Kayano himself, but reinterpreted by a new creative team – with a special focus on updated materials and sustainable technologies.
The upper is made of synthetic leather with at least 20% recycled content. The midsole features the original tooling structure, combined with modern GEL technology and the TRUSSTIC support system for improved stability and shock absorption. Two-tone inserts and typical design elements from the Y2K era round off the visual appearance. The insole was produced using a solution-dyed process that significantly reduces both water consumption and CO₂ emissions.
