ASICS Gel Kayano 5

Straight to the feet of sneakerheads. The Asics Gel Kayano 5, was in the past a totally sporty silhouette, oriented to the practice of running. Launched for the first time in 1999, this fifth edition of the prestigious model of the Japanese firm, reissued again with a very different use. Now it becomes a walking shoe, to be worn with all kinds of casual looks. No one would think of running with the fifth edition of this model, when in running design, they are already going for the Asics Gel Kayano 25 Yes, editions have passed!

Past and present in one and the same silhouette.

One thing must be clear, despite its timeless aesthetics, that only the most daring people will be able to wear. The shoe features technology from the past, but recently updated for this same model. Such is the case of the visible GEL technology, the Duomax anti-pronation system, and the classic Quadra lace closure to evoke the aesthetic effect of the past. And that together with the combination of textile mesh and synthetic leather overlays in the most wear-sensitive areas, the shoe has become a look back to the past that has been well liked by veteran Sneakers.

Chunky style?

In this shoe we can fit into the Chunky Sneakers category for its large volume in the midsole and for being the type of sneaker that our parents used to wear in the past, but that is now back on trend with this daring style. The Asics Gel Kayano 5 is back in its OG version in white with royal blue and black details. The Kayano saga has been making Asics fans enjoy their feet for 25 years now. What do you think of this silhouette that recalls the brand's past?
