FAQs

What makes the GEL-Kayano 14 'Just Say No' edition unique?

This edition is unique due to its special collaboration with Sneaker Politics, its design inspired by the 'Just Say No' campaign, and the specific colorway featuring gold and silver overlays, a red heel accent, and custom hemp-patterned insoles. It's a limited edition release.

What is the primary purpose of this shoe?

The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 'Just Say No' is primarily designed as a lifestyle and casual wear sneaker. It offers excellent comfort for daily activities, but it is not intended for rigorous athletic training.

What does the 'Just Say No' inspiration mean for the design?

The design takes inspiration from the cultural 'Just Say No' campaign, reflected in its unique aesthetic and storytelling elements, distinguishing it from standard ASICS models.

How do I clean the custom insoles?

The insoles can be removed. Gently spot clean them with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting them into the shoes.

Is this shoe suitable for running?

While the GEL-Kayano 14 offers ASICS' signature cushioning for comfort, this specific limited edition is best suited for casual wear and lifestyle purposes rather than dedicated running or high-impact sports.

What materials are used in the construction?

The shoe features a combination of materials, including synthetic overlays (gold and silver), mesh or textile base, and ASICS' proprietary GEL cushioning system within the midsole. Specific materials like leather or nylon may vary across different colorways or sibling products.

What sizes are available?

This particular product listing is for a men's adult UK size 4.5. The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 series is available in a range of men's sizes. Please refer to available listings for specific size options.

Troubleshooting

Unusual squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try walking on different surfaces or gently flexing the shoe. If it persists, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help.

Color transfer from overlays

In rare cases, darker overlays might transfer color under specific conditions (e.g., excessive moisture). Avoid prolonged contact with light-colored materials when wet. Ensure shoes are dry before storing.

Fit feels too snug or loose

Adjust the lacing pattern to find a more secure or comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the intended use.
