Ronnie Fieg, the mastermind behind Kith, has once again collaborated with Asics, adding another gem to his impressive portfolio of over 100 colorways across various Asics silhouettes. Fieg's ability to blend high-fashion sensibilities with streetwear aesthetics has made each of his releases highly anticipated. This time, he revisits the Gel-Kayano 12, a model that die-hard Asics fans have cherished since its original debut in 2006. Fieg's touch and updates bring a fresh yet classic look to this iconic runner, making it a must-have for 2024.
The Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1 features a sophisticated metallic silver and cream palette. The upper is constructed with tumbled leather and mesh, providing durability and breathability. Metallic silver accents adorn the mudguard, vamp, eyestays, and heel overlays, creating a sleek and polished look. The cream mesh base adds a subtle contrast, enhancing the overall design. The cream hue extends to the lace set and the Asics logo on the midfoot, maintaining a cohesive aesthetic.
Underfoot, the Gel-Kayano 12 has been slightly updated from its original 2006 design. The sole unit now features FluidRide branding near the heel, indicating a modernized cushioning technology that promises enhanced comfort and responsiveness. The midsole structure has been refined, and the outsole boasts a grippy traction pattern, ensuring superior performance whether you're hitting the streets or the gym.
The Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1 will release on June 21, 2024, exclusively through Kith's Paris flagship store. A global launch will take place on June 24 via Kith online and in-store. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price has yet to be announced.
