Running or Lifestyle: What Is ASICS GEL-KAYANO Best For?

Though wearing the ASIC GEL-KAYANO in more casual settings is perfectly acceptable, the sneakers are purpose-built for fitness, particularly long-distance running. The concept for the shoe originated from ASICS designer Toshikazu Kayano, whose name, as you may have noticed, was adopted for the collection. He sought to create a multi-functional trainer with lateral and linear support, adapting to the requirements of running and gym training.

Thanks to its stability, durability, and supportive GEL cushioning, the KAYANO is a favourite of exercise enthusiasts and a great entry point for those looking to improve their physical well-being. They can be worn to tackle all terrain, from the road to the treadmill, so you can experience true comfort wherever you find yourself.

Another great feature of the KAYANO is its differentiation across models. Notably, the shoes are tailored to the individual needs of wearers, being lighter for women and more rigid for men.

Which ASICS GEL-KAYANO Is Best?

Since the first pair of ASICS GEL-KAYANOs landed in 1993, several different versions of the iconic running shoe have been produced. This has led many people to debate which one is the best, with opinions divided.

2008 saw the initial release of one such popular model: the KAYANO 14, which, despite originally being marketed to the running crowd, has transitioned into a lifestyle shoe. After an extended period of scarcity, the 14 returned to the spotlight in 2020, and the demand for nostalgic runners from the 2000s elevated it to a new level of success.

While there will always be nostalgia for running shoes from the noughties, it’s a common fact that sneaker fans are always on the lookout for the next big thing. In come the 29 and 30, two of the latest editions of the KAYANO. Capitalising on new technological developments, these sneakers drive up excitement among those who wish to stay ahead of the competition.
