The ASICS GEL-Kayano 12.1, created in collaboration with KITH, blends iconic design elements from the 2006 version with upgraded componentry. The mesh upper features synthetic panels in white and 'Pure Silver,' inspired by medieval European armor. This iteration utilizes the midsole tooling from the GEL-NIMBUS 17, known for its marathon-ready comfort, incorporating dual GEL inserts and a FLUIDRIDE cushioning structure for an exceptional everyday experience. The shoe's sole, borrowed from the GEL-NIMBUS 17, is designed for marathon comfort. It features two GEL™ technology inserts in the rear and forefoot, significantly improving shock absorption. FLUIDRIDE™ technology provides a smooth and responsive feel underfoot. The recycled material insole, dyed using a process that uses 90% less water than traditional techniques, highlights the brand's environmentally friendly approach. Thanks to its unique aesthetic and functionality, these shoes will perfectly complement casual, urban outfits, becoming their focal point.
