With the Asics Gel-Kayano 14 still one of the most popular mesh runners on the market, it makes sense for Asics to continue allowing partners to energize the sneaker even further. Coming off of collaborations with the likes of Concepts, atmos, and Senna and preceding the upcoming A.P.C. project, Japanese retailer Beauty & Youth of United Arrows has been given the green light to work on the model.
Keeping things clean and straightforward, as with most United Arrows-based collaborations, Beauty & Youth applies a clean metallic silver, grey, and white color palette to the sneaker. Material changes enhance the model as the mesh base features woven patterns that differ between the midfoot panel, toebox, and tongue. Synthetic metallic silver overlays land on the mudguard, eyelets, and heel, while the Asics tiger stripes on the midfoot take on a two-tone white and grey finish.
