Ronnie Fieg, the genius behind Kith, partners with ASICS again to revive a beloved silhouette: the GEL-Kayano 12. First introduced in 2006, the GEL-Kayano 12 was known for its support and comfort, featuring a sculpted mid-foot shank, SOLYTE Foam, and signature GEL cushioning.
This new Kith x ASICS collaboration updates the GEL-Kayano 12 for today’s market. Fieg, famous for his clean and material-focused designs, combines a cream mesh base with silver overlays. Early previews show the midsole, with GEL inserts sporting a more modern look than the 2006 version.
This revival highlights the timeless charm of classic running shoes. The GEL-Kayano 12, once a track star, now shines as a sought-after lifestyle sneaker. With Ronnie Fieg’s touch, the Kith x GEL-Kayano 12 offers a high-end twist on a classic design.
The Ronnie Fieg x ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1 will release on June 24, 2024 exclusively on Kith’s website and in their stores. Stay tuned for official details.
This collaboration marks another exciting chapter in the Kith x ASICS partnership, promising style and innovation for sneaker enthusiasts. The updated GEL-Kayano 12 is set to become a favorite among fans and collectors alike.
