JJJJound is a master of dropping understated and minimal collaborations in the footwear industry. The Montreal-based studio has just teased another Asics collab for its latest project, revisiting the Gel-Kayano 14.
Following up on the duo’s take on the GT-2160 and the original Gel-Kayano 14, which took the sneaker world by storm in 2022, JJJJound’s latest Asics Gel-Kayano 14 leans right into the studio’s infamous simple design language. Even with this teaser only showcasing the heel, we can tell that JJJJound has not changed much regarding the material construction or colorblocking. Instead, the label retains the open-spaced mesh base, metallic silver paneling, and accenting hues on the tiger stripes on the midfoot.
JJJJound branding resides on the lateral heel overlay, while the rest of the sneaker (as far as we can tell) remains untouched. As for the color palette, the base is white, while baby blue hues accent the sockliner and Gel pods of the midsole, and navy hues make their mark on the midfoot tiger stripes.
The JJJJound x Asics Gel-Kayano 14 White Navy will release sometime in 2025 through JJJJound online and possibly via Asics online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price has yet to be announced.
