A design inspired by ASICS heritage

ASICS is known for turning technical running design into sneakers that continue to resonate far beyond the track. Across decades, the brand has built an iconic visual language around innovative construction, fluid lines and functional details.

The Asics GT-2160 draws inspiration from the iconic GT-2000™ series, known for its reliability and streamlined design. True to its roots, this version features the same sleek, wavy lines and segmented midsole that defined the early 2000s ASICS running shoes.

 

 All-day comfort with dual GEL™ technology

Beyond its aesthetics, the Asics GT-2160 packs in serious comfort features. It comes with ASICS GEL™ technology, a superior shock-absorbing material. Rather than simply compressing like standard foam, the semi-solid material shifts under pressure to help spread impact more evenly across the foot.

In the ASICS GT-2160, GEL™ inserts are positioned in the rearfoot and forefoot. The rearfoot cushioning helps manage impact during heel strike, while the forefoot insert supports a smoother transition as you push off. This helps reduce the amount of shock travelling through the ankles and knees, making it a great pair for walking and extended wear.

 

Street-ready and versatile

Although rooted in performance design, the GT-2160 has become a go-to for fashion-forward sneaker lovers. Its vintage running shoe look fits seamlessly into streetwear and casual wardrobes. With colourways to suit every mood, it's a modern wardrobe staple with retro credibility.

 

Choose from a range of colourways

The ASICS GT-2160 is available in various colourways, making it easy to find a pair that suits your personal style. Keep things clean with options like White/Silver, White/Piedmont Grey or Smoke Grey/Peppermint, or bring more colour into the mix with Morpho Blue, Laser Pink or Space Lavender. This iconic pair also comes in earthier and deeper shades such as Jasper Green, Denim Blue and Cream/Dark Mustard.

FAQs

  • The Kayano 20 is best suited for runners who prefer a guided, stable ride. As part of the Kayano line, it’s designed for those who want more structure through the stride, especially during longer runs or regular training.  

  • The ASICS Kayano 20 uses GEL cushioning technology in key impact zones to help soften landings and smooth out transitions through each stride. It also works with the shoe’s structured midsole to balance cushioning with a more stable underfoot feel.  

  • Yes. The Gel-Kayano 20 is a solid option for long-distance running, especially for runners who want a steady and controlled feel over more kilometres. Its cushioning and support-focused design help minimise impact over time.

  • Yes, you can wear the ASICS Kayano 20 for light indoor workouts, walking, cardio machines and general gym sessions. However, it’s still primarily built as a running shoe. For heavy lifting, quick side-to-side movement or high-intensity training, you may want a dedicated training shoe that offers a firmer base and more locked-in feel.

  • To clean your Kayano 20 shoes, remove the laces and insoles first so each part can be cleaned separately. Hand-wash the shoes using warm water, mild dish soap and a soft-bristled brush, gently working over the upper and outsole. Avoid fully submerging them or placing them in the washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the foam and adhesives. Once clean, let them air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area.

  • The Gel-Kayano 20 carries more of a classic ASICS runner feel, with a reliable build and heritage-style design. Newer Kayano models often feature updated foams, lighter materials and more modern stability systems.
