There has been no shortage of Asics Gel-Kayano 14 collabs in the last few years as the Japanese footwear label has seen much love given to the sneaker by the community. Although their strategy is shifting away from this particular model in favor of others like the Gel-Kayano 20, Gel-Nimbus 10.1, and the upcoming retro run of the Gel-DS Trainer 14, there is still gas left in the tank for collabs on the sneaker. Multi-hyphenate creative director Juliana Salazar is getting her colorway for the Kayano 14.
Salazar employs soothing tones of grey that almost appear greenish, with this shade dominating most of the mesh, leather, and suede construction. The Suede in this shade starts around the toe and transitions into smooth synthetic leather as you approach the lower eyelets and the Asics tiger stripes. Here is where you’ll also see shades of cream incorporated into the design, starkly contrasting the metallic silver lining of the midfoot and heel overlays.
