TLDR: ASICS brings back the GEL-DS Trainer 14 in collaboration with Kiko Kostadinov. The model from 2009 remains true to its original silhouette, but receives modern updates such as a revised upper and improved GEL cushioning. In four new colourways, it combines retro running aesthetics with innovative design. The sneaker will go on sale on 28 February 2025 for €140. The collaboration between ASICS and Kiko Kostadinov enters the next round. After several successful projects, the duo is now bringing back the GEL-DS Trainer 14, an iconic silhouette from 2009.
The design remains true to the original, with striking leather overlays, a sharply moulded triangle panel construction and a flat GEL midsole for maximum comfort. New features include pull tabs on the tongue and eye-catching colour contrasts that enhance the model. In particular, the cut-out look of the quarter panels with dense synthetic overlays and breathable mesh in the heel and toe area create a dynamic structure.
Another highlight is the colour palette: the GEL-DS Trainer 14 comes in four eye-catching colourways - ‘Dark Mustard/Truffle Grey’, ‘Desert Camp/Piquant Orange’, ‘Midnight Purple/Oxide’ and ‘Waterfall/Light Rock’. The choice of colours is inspired by natural elements and combines matt and glossy tones to create a unique look.
