Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1

The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 brings back the DNA of the original 2006 GEL-KAYANO 12 and shows exactly why ASICS runners have become such a staple in sneaker rotations. The layered construction, open mesh and technical details give it that perfect mix of performance and everyday style.

The upper takes inspiration from European gothic armour, with sharp lines, structured overlays and metallic-inspired details that make the whole silhouette feel like it came from the future. A little futuristic, a little Y2K, and really, that’s what makes it so good.

Underfoot, the GEL-NIMBUS 17 tooling system brings FLUIDRIDE cushioning and GEL technology in the heel and forefoot, keeping that smooth, comfortable ride that made ASICS runners so loved in the first place.
