The GEL-KAYANO 14 sneaker resurfaces with its late 2000s aesthetic as a nod to our storied GEL-KAYANO series. Reinterpreting the shoe's performance capabilities with updated materials and componentry, this version became the first iteration in the sneaker's lineage to be designed by someone other than Toshikazu Kayano. Inspired by the original tooling from 2008, this shoe also features GEL technology underfoot for advanced impact absorption.

This is my first asics pair since the onitsuka tiger i bought a decade ago. This asics kayano 14 are really comfy and they turn heads. Give a modern classic vibe and a design that will withstand time. Very light and breathable and give that feeling of the shoes hugging your feet. Though the materials are not too premium i could still match any daily outfit. Wish the price would match to its materials.

This shoe is worthy of the hype. Excellent cushion, combined with stellar support with a comfortable fit. As a supinator with hight arches the lateral side of my feet make contact with the ground first. This sneaker accommodates me just fine. For those out there with the same concerns this shoe makes it easier.

Gel Kayano 14 is a perennial favorite of mine. They’re billed as Sports Style because of their great look but I find them comfortable for long walks, modest hiking and the occasional run. Just glad Asics keep re-issuing them in a variety of great color options. Wish they would make more so they wouldn’t sell out so quickly. Consistently sized.

First pair of Gel-kayano 14s. Love the look. Always really loved the style. But with wearing other shoes known for comfort and going back to “older tech,” was unsure how id like them. They are perfect stability wise and enough comfort. I would say by far my favorite shoe for the gym, where I do a mixture of heavy resistance training and finish with a HIIT circuit each day.
I've been wearing Kaynaos for 15 years, and nothing else, ever. The Kayano simply has no equal, considering the whole 'package'. The Kayano 14 reminds me of my first Kayano (now 31) and the fond memories were alive again. I have both: 31 and 14, but use the 14 for may daily walks; elegant, beautiful, comfortable, supportive and tempts you to 'show off' whenever politely possible :)
These Gel-Kayano 14 kicks (size 10.5) are legit! The silver, white, and gold combo is fire, and they're true to size, giving my feet a comfy hug.The gel cushioning? Pure magic—it's like walking on clouds. Plus, they're durable and have wicked traction for any adventure. Honestly, I'm in love with these trainers.From gym vibes to casual hangs, they're my go-to. Staying stylish while feeling like I'm floating? It's a win-win!
I bought the "Metallic Plum" Gel Kayano 14 and I could not believe how cold they are for a pair of sneakers that has remained so hot all these years. They are like edible gold here in the UK - hard to come by like gold dust and when they are restocked, they are eaten quickly. I bought mine online and stayed out all day for the post man not dissimilar to how my dog awaits my return home after dusk. I tipped the courier - I was that excited (although I did not shoe it oops I mean show it. I am that cool). He said it was the first time he had been tipped. He asked me why I had been so generous. I told him I have never been happier to own a pair of shoes "I do not intend to fully wear out". I live in Manchester and it rains everyday. He said "right". I have since wore ... MoreI bought the "Metallic Plum" Gel Kayano 14 and I could not believe how cold they are for a pair of sneakers that has remained so hot all these years.

I told him I have never been happier to own a pair of shoes "I do not intend to fully wear out". I live in Manchester and it rains everyday. He said "right". I have since wore it thrice. Once I am out of the car, I change into my church shoes to go into office. Comfiest shoes ever. Slick design. Cold silvery touch. Gel technology is Jetson futuristic and still reminiscent of the 2000s. I am about to wear it now. I will still take them off before I get out, don't worry.
Bought these as I always used to wear 2010's, 2040, 2050 that sort of shoes, had a brilliant cross country shoe too, but recently Asics and other brands have gone for elasticated uppers and large wedge foams, which I find do not last well. The Kayano is oldstyle gel shoe, firm uppers and wrapping feel rather that the elasticated modernday counterparts. Not disappointed, size and fitting are fine, sturdy shoe. Missing the carbon rubber ahar heel pad, but otherwise a familiar good quality product
I never owned ASICS before. I typically wear comfort/lifestyle sneakers. I went with these only because they looked cool and sounded comfy from reviews. They look rad to hang out with and are super comfortable out of the box. In Nike AF1 I am a 11.00 at max. At Jordan’s I’m typically 11.5. Most always a pointed toe is 11.5. These ASICS fit like a flippin glove out of the box at 11.5. I do not have the feeling they will stretch too much with casual wear. So far (only 1 week) they are just plain comfortable. Might as well be slippers that fit like a sneaker. Expensive though. We’ll see if it adds up…
So I was looking for new white shoes to replace my AF1s after 4 years of heavy use, and looking to do the same but with an ASICS shoe. Honestly, this was NOT even my first choice nor colour choice... but lo and behold, it's a very pretty colourway. Streaks even look dark green in some lighting which I love. Do size up though! I'm usually a UK 7 and ended up with a UK 8 box (I did order 41.5 on the website though).
