Seizing on the massive surge in popularity for retro runners in the past couple of years, ASICS have delved into their extensive archive and emerged with a tech-heavy performance running shoe from 1993–the GEL KAYANO TRAINER.

The Kayano is a staple in ASICS’ performance range, evolving year after year with progressively advanced technology to offer the best possible ride for devoted runners. To coincide with the its 20th anniversary last year, the original was reissued as part of a double pack, alongside the 20th iteration of the shoe. Now ASICS’ lifestyle department have dropped another 2 makeups of the Kayano for general release, which is a good look in our minds.

Very much a precursor to the Gel Lyte V, the Kayano makes use of the same neoprene inner-sock and some similar lines on the forefoot and heel panelling. However the big difference is that plastic exoskeleton, which is intended to give support for lateral movements but doubles as the midsection ASICS branding. Inspired by the hard, armoured shell of a stag beetle, it is a great bit of design that still holds relevance 20 years later. The shoe is set to release in two colourways: one with a grey open mesh and synthetic suede base, with black and green accenting, the other with some similar colour blocking but throwing in some white and swapping out the green for red.

The ASICS GEL KAYANO is set to release In-Store with The Chimp Store who lead the way (cheers for the images) along with other select retailers this SATURDAY 22.03.14 in the morning, and will also be available via the link-through below, where you can find full details on the drop.
