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.

Great shoes and very comfortable. They do run true to size which is perfect. I did have some minor defects with my shoes which I’m asking to get fixed because I really do love the shoe. Overall 9/10

The absolute best vintage runners you will ever wear. I have multiple pairs of this type of shoe. Ranging from New Balance 1906, 2002R, Nike Vomero 5. Etc. These are hands down the best and most comfortable shoe you can buy today. I wish I had these in every color.

I bought my first pair in 2014. Every time they become available again, I buy at least one new pair. No shoe has ever supported my feet more effortlessly than these. Please keep them coming back!

These sneakers are super comfy. I wear them walking, to the gym to do weights, and casually. I wouldn’t run in them, I have current asics nimbuses for cardio as they are much more supportive for high impact.I have worn these with wide leg jeans and will wear them to work with wide leg work pants. Also look good with leggings and shorts. Highly recommended!
It just checks all my boxes. In terms of standing, walking up and down hills, its very comfortable. I have Kayano 14's, Vomero 5's and 2002r's in current rotation. Kayano 14's beats out all of them. This is a walking review, not a running review.
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.
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…
I have had many pairs of Asics and have loved them all. I buy a pair about every 6 months. However, this pair are not as comfortable as the others. I don't know if the material is too hard, but they are hard on the outer sides of my feet. They are nice and supportive and look great but just not as comfortable as I have become accustomed to.
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.
After weeks of waiting for a sale price which did not come, my wife pulled the trigger and bought these really cool shoes. She loves them even at full price. She was afraid they would disappear due to popularity, thus paying full price and said they are totally worth it!
