Asics Gel-Kayano 21 Shoes in Carrier Grey and Habanero. Inspired by the iconic Gel-Kayano™ Trainer and archived ‘90s running shoes, the hybrid styled Asics Gel-Kayano 21 is a performative sneaker with a heritage influenced aesthetic to match. Styled with premium uppers crafted from resilient pigskin nubuck with perforated decals for additional circulatory support, these padded collar shoes feature a preserved MONO-SOCK™ design with custom GEL™ technology cushioning for increased impact and shock absorption across the gem-like FluidRide™ outsole. A grippy underfoot tread makes light work of challenging terrains, whilst the exclusive GEL-KAYANO™ 21 supplies an exemplary level of structural support to the silhouette. Balancing throwback customs with performative necessity, abrasion resistant overlays protect the upper quarters through everyday wear, whilst the rubberised heel brace is a complement to the Onitsuka Tiger styled side wall decals. A 6 eyelet lacing system secures the padded ‘Asics’ branded tongue across the natural arch of the foot, whilst embroidered ‘Asics’ branding beneath the ‘Gel’ branded heel brace seals the design with added textured reference.
Meeting the demand of modern day living with its archive influenced design and its continually remastered construction, the performative Gel-Kayano has remained one of the most iconic Asics silhouettes to date. Combining all-terrain functionality with a noted sense of classic track and field character, the Asics Gel-Kayano is designed with flexibility, longevity and durability at the core of its revolutionary blueprint.
