FAQs
What makes the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 unique?
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 blends heritage design elements from the early 2000s with modern technology, featuring GEL cushioning, a Trusstic system for stability, and an eco-conscious sock liner.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While they offer cushioning and stability, the Gel-Kayano 14 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual trainer. For serious running, ASICS offers specialized running shoe models.
How do I clean the Metropolis Jasper Green colourway?
Use a damp cloth and a soft brush for the mesh and leather. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the Trusstic system?
The Trusstic system, located in the arch of the shoe, provides structural integrity and stability, helping to reduce twisting motions and support the foot.
Is the Jasper Green colour permanent?
The Jasper Green colour is part of the shoe's design, applied to branding and midsole accents. Standard care practices should maintain its appearance.
What does 'Metropolis' refer to in the colour name?
'Metropolis' refers to the dark grey hue used as the base colour for the shoe's mesh construction.
How does the water-saving sock liner work?
The sock liner is produced using a special dyeing method that significantly reduces water consumption, up to 33%, compared to conventional dyeing processes.
Troubleshooting
Uneven wear on the sole
This could indicate an issue with gait or foot strike. Consider if the shoe's stability features are correctly supporting your foot. For persistent issues, consult a footwear specialist.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
Ensure the correct size has been selected. Try wearing them with appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, the shoe's cushioning or support may not be suitable for your foot type or activity level.
Material scuffs or damage
Address minor scuffs on leather overlays with a leather cleaner or polish. For mesh tears, professional repair may be needed. Follow the recommended care instructions to prevent future damage.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning:
- For the mesh and leather upper, use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently remove dirt and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- For the midsole and outsole, a damp cloth is usually sufficient. For tougher marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
- The sock liner can often be removed for separate cleaning; hand wash gently with mild soap and water, and allow to air dry completely.
- Drying: Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain the material's integrity and color.
