Retro runner, modern staple

The ASICS KAYANO 14 marks a bold return to the spotlight, reviving that early 2000s runner aesthetic with sharp lines, layered mesh and a sculpted midsole that’s unmistakably GEL-KAYANO. Originally designed for long-distance performance, the KAYANO 14 now sits comfortably in the lifestyle space, worn by athletes, creatives and everyday legends alike.

All-day comfort and serious throwback appeal. Pair it with cargos, trackies or oversized tees — the GEL-KAYANO 14 hits the mark for style and support.
