FAQs

What is the main inspiration behind this ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 release?

The design is inspired by the "Just Say No" campaign, incorporating elements that reflect this theme.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While they feature ASICS' GEL cushioning, they are primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker, not for high-performance athletic training.

What materials are used in the ASICS x Sneaker Politics GEL-Kayano 14?

The shoe features a combination of materials including leather and nylon, with distinctive gold and silver overlays, and a cream midsole with visible GEL inserts.

How should I clean the hemp-patterned insoles?

The insoles can typically be removed and spot cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure they are completely dry before reinserting them into the shoes.

What makes this collaboration special?

This is an exclusive collaboration with Sneaker Politics, featuring unique design details like the campaign inspiration, specific color accents, and custom insoles, making it a limited edition item.

What is the primary color of this sneaker?

The primary color is cream, complemented by gold and silver overlays, and a red accent on the heel.

Is this a men's or women's shoe?

This specific model is listed for men ('Male' gender attribute).

Troubleshooting

Sizing is incorrect

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and compare with your previous purchases. Consider the width of your foot if experiencing tightness.

Color transfer from red heel accent

This is a rare occurrence. Ensure the shoes are dry. If slight transfer occurs on light-colored socks, try washing the socks separately.

Reduced cushioning over time

While GEL cushioning is durable, prolonged intensive use may reduce its effectiveness. For daily wear, the cushioning should remain consistent for a long period.

Damage to overlays

Avoid abrasive surfaces and excessive friction. Clean gently with a soft cloth to prevent scratching the metallic overlays.
