Update (1/23/23): The Kenzo x ASICS GEL-Kayano 20 will be available via Kenzo on January 23rd and will have a wider release on January 26th. Each of the three shoes in the collection will carry a retail price of $350.
Make no mistake, ASICS is making moves in 2024. The Japanese sneaker giant put the sneaker world on notice in 2023 and took a sizeable slice of the pie from its competitor. They closed out the year strong with their Gallery Department 2160 collaboration and have a cure fire banger on the horizon with the Hidden NY 2 GEL-NYC. They are bringing even more heat with a three-part collection in partnership with Parisian skate shop Kenzo.
Now that Asics has solidified the GEL-Kayano 14 as one of the hottest silhouettes in the sneaker game, they’ve turned their attention to a GEL-Kayano-20 retro. With streetwear legend Nigo standing at the helm of Kenzo, it's hard to imagine a situation with the Kenzo x ASICS GEL-Kayano 20 is anything less than magnificent. The first offering of the collection looks like the official show of the movie Avatar, with a neon blue setting the scene for a faux-fur zebra striping pattern. Bright greens and yellows are highlight pieces for the shoe that sits on top of a vibrant orange midsole.
The second shoe in the collaborative effort is the polar opposite of the first. The shoe's base is a neutral white with alternating greys and blacks to offset the animal print. Last but not least, the Kenzo x ASICS collection is a shoe that features a stained glass window-like pattern using shades of greens, blues, and reds.
The Kenzo x ASICS GEL-Kayano 20 collection has a targeted timeframe for release in Spring 2024. We don't know if all three shoes will be released at the same time or have independent drops via Kenzo and ASICS platforms. Once the release details are ironed out, you can be sure you'll find them on our Twitter and Instagram.
