Asics x AWAKE Gel-Kayano 21

“In a healthy body, a healthy mind.” This ancient Latin saying is the inspiration behind the name Asics, which is an acronym for the phrase. The brand’s origins trace back to its founder, Kihachiro Onitsuka, whose first sneakers were branded with the Onitsuka Tiger logo, paying homage to his legacy.

For a long time, Asics was known exclusively for its high-performance running shoes. However, the full potential of Japanese design became clear toward the end of the last decade, when models like the Asics Gel-Kayano 5 caught the attention of the streetwear world. Alongside the Gel-Kinsei silhouette, these models helped the brand establish its place in the fashion spotlight, now aiming for top-tier status.
