Creative director and fashion industry powerhouse Juliana Salazar is making her mark in the sneaker world through an exciting collaboration with ASICS on the GEL-Kayano 14. Following her acclaimed 2023 photoshoot featuring the silhouette, this partnership represents Salazar's first venture into sneaker design, bringing her refined aesthetic—honed through work with prestigious brands like Aimé Leon Dore, Ganni, Tiffany's, and StockX—to one of ASICS' most beloved models.
The Juliana Salazar x ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 exemplifies sophisticated minimalism through its thoughtfully curated color palette of Vanilla Ice and Eucalyptus tones. This understated base is elevated by a strategic pop of cyan blue at the heel, creating a contemporary edge that distinguishes the design while maintaining its refined character. The collaboration goes beyond surface aesthetics, incorporating ASICS' foundational philosophy of "Sound Mind, Sound Body" on the interior—a detail that resonates with Salazar's holistic approach to design. The sneaker's construction demonstrates a masterful balance of premium materials, featuring breathable mesh panels and quality leather overlays, while ASICS' renowned GEL cushioning technology ensures superior comfort and performance capabilities.
The Juliana Salazar x ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 is set to release February 8th, 2025 for $160 through the ASICS website and select ASICS retailers. For the latest updates on ASICS releases, download our mobile app and follow us on Twitter.
