TLDR: The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 returns in an eye-catching papaya colourway. The model combines a silver base with black and grey mesh elements, while bright orange accents on the side panels, tongue and GEL cushioning create a sporty look. The slightly yellowed midsole rounds off the retro design perfectly. The sneaker will be available on 20 February 2025 for €160. The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 has established itself as a lifestyle classic in recent years, especially since the collaboration with JJJJJound in 2022. While many current releases interpret the 2000s look in a modern way, the new ‘Papaya’ version remains closely linked to the model's sporty roots.
The combination of metallic silver overlays and large mesh panels in black and grey creates a dynamic and structured look. The ‘papaya’ orange tones come through on the side stripes, the tongue and the GEL cushioning, giving the shoe a fresh touch. The yellowed midsole reinforces the vintage character and is reminiscent of classic running shoe designs from the 2000s.
In addition to the eye-catching design, the trainers remain functional: the tried-and-tested GEL technology under the sole ensures optimum cushioning, while the TRUSSTIC Support System provides additional stability. In addition, the upper material is partly made from recycled materials and the insole was produced using a water- and emission-saving colouring technology.
