FACETASM’s inaugural collab with ASICS arrives in the form of the GEL-KAYANO 14 “Organic Beauty”, which will drop September 20 in Japan.

The shoe features thirty different hues inspired by the natural world, with colors pulled from plants, dirt, light, and water. The palette is adventurous for sure, but for whatever reason it’s much more wearable than it sounds. It’s that restraint that really makes the pair special.

Elsewhere, the upper features three different types of mesh that play with texture depending on the angle, while a stippled midsole evokes the rough texture of dirt. A holographic copper heel wraps the sole, and carries the only mention of FACETASM branding. It’s a small detail, but one that feels like something sneakerheads will appreciate immediately.

This is a huge one for FACETASM, as it’s their first project with ASICS ever. From the looks of it, it probably won’t be the last either. Longtime fans of the GEL-KAYANO range will be into how the pair toes the line between adventurous and utilitarian.

The ASICS × FACETASM GEL-KAYANO 14 will release September 20, 2025 at FACETASM Aoyama (11 AM JST), Shinsaibashi (10 AM JST), the E-Store (10 AM JST), and at selected retailers nationwide.
