Asics Gel-Kayano 14
The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers debuted on the shelves back in 2008. That same year, they won the Shoe of the Yearaward from the leading running magazine Runner's World. Behind the 14th model of the legendary Gel-Kayano series is Hidenori Yamashita, for whom the shoe is a reference to lightning, a symbol of explosive action.
While originally conceived as a running shoe, the Gel-Kayano 14 also serves as a great everyday shoethanks to today's trends welcoming recent retro back into relevance . This is due to both the sneaker's adaptability to the shape of the foot and the breathability felt on first wear. So check out one of the colorways of the Asics GL14.
Materials
Upper
Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.
Syntetika: The synthetic upper is made of synthetic materials that are lightweight, durable and easy to clean. It provides good protection against moisture and at the same time allows for a comfortable wearing experience.
Footbed
OrthoLite®: It is the world standard in shoe insoles, combining a specific polyurethane foam with open-cell technology. Unlike conventional insoles, OrthoLite® does not collapse over time - it retains more than 95% of its original cushioning and shape. Its breathability allows air to circulate directly around the foot, effectively wicking away moisture and keeping the shoe cooler. Plus, it contains an antimicrobial treatment that fights bacteria and odor. It's a lightweight, eco-friendly (contains recycled rubber) and highly comfortable layer that you'll find in quality running, outdoor and urban footwear.
Midsole
GEL™: ASICS' GEL™ technology uses a special cushioning gel that effectively absorbs shock for a softer, more stable impact with every step. Gel inserts are strategically placed in the heel or forefoot where they help reduce stress on joints and muscles the most. As a result, they provide significantly increased comfort, facilitating a smooth transition between each phase of the stride and helping to maintain comfort even during longer running workouts or everyday wear.
TRUSSTIC™: Increases the stability of the shoe thanks to a lightweight, tightly integrated element in the arch area. This prevents unwanted twisting of the sole, improves foot guidance and adds confidence on impact and rebound. As a result, you get a more balanced stride, greater efficiency and less fatigue during extended wear.
Sole
Rubber: The rubber sole is a traditional and highly reliable element in the construction of footwear, valued especially for its extreme mechanical resistance and grip. This contact layer is made of natural or synthetic rubber, which is characterized by its high density and elasticity. Due to its physical properties, it provides excellent traction on a wide range of surfaces, from smooth asphalt to unpaved terrain. In addition, the rubber is naturally waterproof and resistant to temperature fluctuations, ensuring stability and a secure stride in a variety of climatic conditions.
"In a healthy body, a healthy spirit." This is the message hidden in the brand name Asics, which is an acronym of an old Latin proverb. The very original Asics sneakers are adorned with the Onitsuka Tiger branding , which refers to the brand's founder, Kihachiro Onitsuka, as opposed to the now-familiar "a" branding .
Asics sneakers have long been perceived by the public as only a quality running shoe. However, the hidden potential of Japanese design only came to full light at the end of the last decade, when the streetwear spotlight was occupied, for example, by the very hilarious Asics Gel-Kayano 5 shoes . Not only with this model, but also with the silhouette of the Asics Gel-Kinsei, the brand made a strong statement in the fashion world, where it plans to play in the top league in the twenties.
Asics Gel cushioning technology
With the popularization of lifestyle sneaker wear and the rise of streetwear , many Asics silhouettes have shifted to footwear for all manner of leisure activities. Thus, more than one sneaker enthusiast today sees Asics shoes as a fashion accessory. This is mainly due to the fusion of the unique Japanese aesthetic as well as the comfort often provided by the cushioning technology AsicsGel - a gel capsule whose effects are especially noticeable when you're pedaling and rebounding.
The relevance of Asics within streetwear culture was also proven by the Asics x Sean Wotherspooncollaboration on the Asics Gel-Lyte 3 silhouette . You can find this legendary model on Footshop, as well as other popular pieces like the Asics Gel-Nandi, Gel-Lyte and a bunch of others in both men's and women's options.
So, whether you're the kind of athlete who opens each day with a morning half hour down the river, or you just enjoy unconventional colourways and timeless silhouettes, Asicssneakers belong in your shoe closet. So take a good look around.
