GEL-KAYANO 12.1

The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 is a collaboration between ASICS and KITH that merges heritage running heritage with contemporary sneaker aesthetics. In Cream/Smoke Grey, this design draws inspiration from the original 2006 GEL-KAYANO 12, blending its iconic silhouette with European gothic armor-inspired structural elements and metallic detailing. Engineered for performance, the shoe features breathable mesh underlays that enhance airflow and keep feet cool throughout wear. The midsole incorporates the proven tooling system from the GEL-NIMBUS 17, originally developed for marathon comfort. Dual GEL technology inserts in the rearfoot and forefoot work alongside FLUIDRIDE cushioning to absorb impact and deliver a smooth, responsive feel underfoot. A dope dyed recycled sockliner mesh completes the design, combining comfort with sustainability. This is a sneaker that honors athletic legacy while delivering modern comfort and style.
