I bought a pair of Kayano 14's after being so impressed with the re-issue of the Kayano 14RE. Whilst the 14's don't quite have the style and subtle detailing of the 14RE, for comfort and motion control it is all but identical and a big step forward over recent Kayano models. As stated in my 14RE review I believe the older style forefoot construction is far superior to the recent mesh construction for a 'motion control' shoe. I'll take some photo's to highlight how Asics have, in my opinion, cut corners on the newer Kayano models which mean they do not function as well, are not as comfortable and don't last anywhere near as well as their older shoes. In the photo's I'll compare the 14's to a Kayano 28 to show you how the later Kayano has a much simpler construction, ... MoreI bought a pair of Kayano 14's after being so impressed with the re-issue of the Kayano 14RE.

The modern Kayano just feels like a cheap shoe in comparison to the 14. I'll also include a picture of the 14 next to the 14RE so you can see the extra design details on the RE. Both the 14's are fantastic motion control shoes and really highlight how far the Kayano has fallen in recent years. Please Asics, either keep doing these re-issues or go back to this style of design/construction. Premium prices demand a premium product like the Kayano 14!

Thanks so much for bringing this shoe back. I just love the support, style and durability of this shoe, which is so much more substantial than the more recent models which lack upper support and have soles that wear out in no time. I've been jogging /running in Gel Kayanos since the very beginning. I'll take the extra few ounces of weight to have better protection, support and durbility any time. I just wish I could find them in stock in more colours.

So pleased. I’ve always had an absolute nightmare buying shoes but ASICS never fail me! They fit perfectly. They are comfy from day one. They last for ages.I don’t wear them as running shoes just as everyday shoes that are suitable for insoles. I remove the insoles that comes with the shoes and put my own in. This is easy and quick to do as the regular insole isn’t glued down in the shoe.ASICS are so consistent and good. I’ve never had any issues and they are they only brand I can buy any of their shoes online and have never had to send them back.

ASICS trainers exceed expectations with their outstanding performance, comfort, and durability. The cushioning system reduces impact on joints during high-impact activities, while the traction provides excellent grip for stability and control. The well-padded collar and breathable upper ensure a snug fit and foot ventilation. These trainers are designed to last, making them a top choice for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.
I’ve ordered these sneakers twice and both time I received the wrong size. The first time they refunded the money. This time they can’t even help me. I have to do some kind of report. I don’t understand why I keep getting the wrong size. Both times same size. I checked to see if it’s my error I tripled checked even had someone else look and it’s not me. I can’t believe this.
Very Nice Shoe ! The estetics are on point giving the 2000's vibe but also retaining a more modern look. The Ouside materials are very nice and carefully crafted and worked to ensure this sneaker can boast all it's versatility.Most definefitely a "Must Buy" if you're seeking comfort and style at the same time !
Was looking for a pair of New Balances for the longest time but the retail price is just too ridiculous. Glad I made the call to switch to ASICS, equally if not more comfortable than 990 and 2002r, and more unique looking given everyone wears NB now. The color tone works well with my earthy toned wardrobe, and the silhouette is just gorgeous. Great price for a great piece.
I received my order and they fit nice. I wear a 7.5 but got 8. I ordered the white and grey but they sent me the grey, cream and black. And wanted me to send back but not receive the correct color overnight. Told me I had to wait 72 hours to process a new order then wait to receive which would have been an additional-5-7 days on top of the 72 hr processingtime. Even though they sent me the wrong color.
Just like the other comments. Urban Outfitters sent me the completely wrong colorway. You can’t even find that on the site. Reached out to CS and after two weeks of blasting the support. They told me the size is now sold out and i had to print out a label and return it to USPS. What a Joke.
I recently tried out the Gel Kayano 14, and I must say, they're pretty awesome! The shoes provide excellent cushioning and support, making them super comfortable to wear. I really appreciated how they helped with my foot stability during runs and workouts. The design is sleek and stylish too!un
