In 1993, Asics celebrated the launch of the Gel Kayano series, christened with the name of its designer Toshikazu Kayano. In 2020, Asics already launched the 27th version! With the Gel-Kayano 13, Toshikazu Kayano ended his work on the Gel-Kayano series and handed over the responsibility to new designers. Kayano couldn't imagine his shoes off the running track at the time, yet he is flattered that the retros of his running shoe line have now firmly established themselves in the lifestyle segment. The Gel-Kayano 14, the first "non-Toshikazu" Kayano, represents a milestone in the history of the Gel-Kayano line. The new edition retains the midsole equipment and GEL cushioning technology of the original. Slight adjustments have been made to the fit. Asics hits the spirit of today with this release. The layered leather and mesh construction is typical of the popular Millennial runners.

These are the first pair of Asics i've ever owned and i will definitely be buying more. By far the most comfortable sneaker i've ever worn. Unrivalled comfort and support.

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, ...

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!

Favourites! They are very light and comfortable and the color is adorable. Been struggling with some knee pain, but i barely notice wearing these, which makes them very practical and comfortable for Long walks.

Great support. I tried on many other brands with similar design and found these to be highest quality. Wearing them for HITT classes and everyday use.
They had scuff marks along the bottom and inside you could tell they had been worn. Unfortunately, this is not what I expect as I have always bought and recommended the ASICS brand
Love them and they're so comfy. Even when covering long distance.First order turned out to be a bit smaller than expected. Returned it easily and ordered second time a larger size. Process was smooth and second order fits great.And good service by mail too!
Very slick and stylish pair of Gel Kayano’s . A throwback to the earlier models in the 2000’s . Can wear these shoes with many different outfits going out , as well as to the gym or runs as they are very lightweight and comfortable . Have been waiting for a pair of these to be released for a while now and I was not disappointed!
Love these sneakers so much. Couldn’t find them on the ASICS website, so glad Bandier had them. Easy purchase, easy exchange for a different size, very happy overall.
It is a really high nice shoe, with high quality material and decent craftsmanship. It is also quite comfortable. I would recomend it.
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.
