Let’s take a closer look at the latest ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 collaboration with JJJJOUND!
The JJJJOUND x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 release is part of a duo pack, and today we’re focusing on the White/Midnight colourway — the more limited and exclusive pair. Based on the iconic Y2K silhouette, the GEL-KAYANO 14 already holds cult status. This collab stays true to the original JJJJOUND release, but as always, it’s the details that make the difference.
Subtle navy accents hit the inner liner and ASICS tiger stripes. A splash of yellow pops on the high-abrasion rubber outsoles, adding contrast. As expected, you’ll find the JJJJOUND logo on the right heel and insoles.
The rest stays true to the classic GEL-KAYANO 14. Brushed metallic overlays wrap wide, breathable mesh uppers. Off-white laces and EVA midsoles sit atop exposed GEL pods in the forefoot and heel for all-day comfort. A translucent TRUSSTIC shank still delivers solid torsional support.
I’ve been rocking GEL-KAYANO 14s daily for over three years now. They’re light, breathable, flexible, and insanely wearable. No surprise, this pair sold out fast — and resale prices reflect the hype.
So, should you cop? If you’re a die-hard JJJJOUND fan with the budget, go for it. But honestly, GR GEL-KAYANO 14s perform just as well for a fraction of the price.
The JJJJOUND x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 fits true to size and comes with extra white laces.
