Asics, a brand revered for its commitment to innovation and quality in performance footwear, has been increasingly recognized within the sneakerhead community for its blend of functionality and style. The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 has emerged as a fan favorite, aligning perfectly with the ongoing mesh runner trend that continues to captivate the fashion industry. Asics ventures into fashion-forward aesthetics through an inline release of the Gel-Kayano 14 Pre-Worn, a design that innovatively embraces the beauty of wear and tear.
This iteration of the Gel-Kayano 14 departs from its traditional mesh and leather construction, opting for a leather-dominant upper complemented by mesh detailing on the sockliner and tongue. This iteration adopts a unique approach with a pre-worn effect, offering wearers a sneak peek at the sneaker's life before it even hits the pavement. The exterior boasts a cold moss shade, deliberately scuffed to unveil a striking golden layer beneath, embodying the essence of durability and timeless wear. Standard paneling is still present, with overlays located near the toe, midfoot, and heel and Asics branding throughout. Cream accents on the lace set and sockliner, along with the Gel-Kayano 14's iconic midsole, enhance the sneaker's vintage appeal, while a cold moss-shaded rubber outsole completes the design.
The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 Pre-Worn will release in 2024 through Asics and select retailers online and in-store. As of this writing, the retail price has yet to be announced. Stay informed on this release and more in the sneaker and streetwear world by downloading the Sole Retriever mobile app.
