The Asics Gel-Kayano 14 sneakers first appeared in stores in 2008, and in the same year earned the title of Shoe of the Year from the prestigious running magazine Runner's World. Hidenori Yamashita was behind the design of this 14th generation of the iconic Gel-Kayano series, inspired by the lightning bolt as a symbol of dynamic energy.
Gel-Kayano 14 features an original design intended for running, but with current trends reviving the retro style, it's perfect for everyday wear. Key features are their ability to adapt to the shape of the foot and their high breathability, which you'll appreciate the first time you put them on. Check out the different colourwaysAsics GL14.

Asics is a brand that is based on the idea "In a healthy body, a healthy spirit." Its name is an abbreviation of an old Latin saying. The first Asics shoes were made in 1949 by Japanese entrepreneur Kihachiro Onitsuka. His goal was to create quality shoes for athletes that would help them perform better. He used the Onitsuka Tiger logo on his shoes, which symbolized speed and strength. The logo became known worldwide when Olympic medalists like Abebe Bikila and Derek Clayton wore it.
Nowadays, Asics also offers streetwear shoes that feature great design and comfort. For example, the Asics Gel-Kayano 5 and Asics Gel-Kinsei models are popular for their stylish looks and Asics Gel cushioning technology, which uses gel insoles for better comfort and cushioning.
Asics also collaborated with designer Sean Wotherspoon on the Asics Gel-Lyte 3, which is an iconic model in the streetwear scene. You can find this model and many others in both men's and women's versions on Queens.
