A fresh take on retro running shoes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 Cream Black Metallic Plum Running Shoe embodies the end-of-21st century aesthetic that is timeless in our GEL-KAYANO shoe line. This model became the first version of the shoe line designed by none other than Toshikazu Kayano. The passing of the torch also brought the brand values to life, improving the performance of the shoe. Mimicking the original midsole shape using GEL cushioning technology, the shoe also features a more connuative upper that retains the layered leather and mesh construction from 2008. In addition, the interior is spray-painted, which helps to reduce water consumption by 33% and carbon dioxide emissions by approx. 45%. Product Ref: 1201A019.108.
