ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 Silver Ice Blue

ASICS merges two of its running platforms on the Gel-Kayano 12.1 "Silver Ice Blue", lifting detailing from the original Gel-Kayano 12 and setting it on GEL-NIMBUS 17 tooling. A white open mesh upper forms the base, while a faint blue tint runs through the Tiger Stripes along the sidewalls. Synthetic overlays in a chrome finish stretch from toe to heel, echoing the techy running shoes of the 2000s, with upper detailing that draws on European gothic armour.

Japanese kanji sits on the tongue, while ASICS branding appears at the rear and on the insole. FLUIDRIDE cushioning shapes the midsole above visible GEL inserts in the forefoot and heel. ASICS positions the trainer for lifestyle wear, and the restrained palette slots in with washed denim or wide track trousers. Keep this one in mind for everyday rotations.
