This latest ASICS GEL-KAYANO 20 arrives in a Gravel/Pure Silver colourway. Originally a performance running shoe, the silhouette is now making waves in mainstream streetwear.
The upper features ultra-breathable grey space mesh, reinforced with synthetic strips for durability. A standout detail is the KAYANO logo branding, arranged in a printed “20” on the toebox mudguard to mark the line’s anniversary. For lockdown and support, silver TPU strips (FluidFit technology) crisscross the upper, working alongside ASICS’ signature Tiger Stripes and a grey TPU heel counter. A textured inner liner, oval grey laces, and multiple ASICS, KAYANO 20, and GEL branding complete the look.
Performance-wise, exposed GEL pods on the midsole absorb shock with each stride, while the GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC system shank plate adds torsional support. A grooved black rubber outsole ensures top-tier traction.
Though it feels like the GEL-KAYANO 20 just entered the sneaker scene, it has long been a cult favourite—especially in Australia. Previous vibrant colourways sold out quickly, with some commanding high resale prices.
This Gravel/Pure Silver edition is a stark contrast to past bold releases. However, its neutral Y2K-inspired aesthetic makes it incredibly versatile—easy to dress up or down. The build quality is excellent, panel cuts are precise, and they fit true to size (TTS) with a wide-foot-friendly design.
