ASICS‘ GEL-KAYANO 12.1 sneaker range is set to welcome a striking and contemporary “Black/Obsidian Grey.” This hybrid silhouette features an upper derived from the archival GEL-KAYANO 12, characterized by a breathable open-mesh base in deep black. Its design is fortified with synthetic leather overlays in “Obsidian Grey” and a subtle ivory-gold, which utilizes a mix of matte and metallic finishes for a layered, skeletal look across the quarters and toe cap.

The signature ASICS Tiger Stripes are integrated as glossy overlays, with black and “Obsidian Grey” accentuating a metallic silver base. Laces are kept tonal in black, echoing the accent hues and matte mesh base. The midsole integrates GEL cushioning with FLUIDRIDE construction, offering responsive comfort, while the outsole is finished in obsidian grey with textured traction patterns for stability.
