FAQs

What is the inspiration behind the 'Just Say No' ASICS GEL-Kayano 14?

The design is inspired by the 'Just Say No' anti-drug campaign of the 1980s, reflected in its unique color palette and thematic elements.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the GEL-Kayano 14 features performance running shoe DNA, this specific limited edition is primarily intended for casual wear and as a collector's item. For serious athletic training, modern performance running shoes may be more appropriate.

What are the main colors of the ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 'Just Say No'?

The trainers feature a cream base with gold and silver overlays, accented by a red heel detail and a cream midsole.

How should I clean the hemp-patterned insoles?

The insoles can be gently removed and spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. Ensure they are fully dry before placing them back into the shoes.

What does 'MPN' stand for and what is its significance?

MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. It is a unique identifier for a specific product variant, like a particular size and colorway.

Is this a widely available shoe?

No, this is a limited edition collaboration with Sneaker Politics, making it a scarce and collectible item.

What does the GEL technology offer?

The GEL technology in the midsole provides excellent shock absorption and cushioning, enhancing comfort during wear.

Troubleshooting

Sizing concerns

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and compare with your current shoe sizes. Consider the specific fit of the GEL-Kayano 14 model if possible, or consult reviews for insights on whether to size up or down.

Creasing on upper material

Some creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and consider using shoe trees for storage to help maintain shape.

Discoloration of midsole

Yellowing of the midsole can occur over time due to material oxidation. Clean regularly with a damp cloth and store away from direct sunlight to slow this process.
