FAQs

Is the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 suitable for running?

While it draws from performance heritage, this model is curated for lifestyle and casual wear rather than intense long-distance running.

Does the shoe fit true to size?

The GEL-KAYANO 12.1 generally fits true to standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to reference your standard ASICS size.

How do I clean the metallic parts?

Use a soft, damp cloth and wipe gently. Avoid abrasive chemicals that could strip the metallic finish.

Is this a unisex shoe?

Yes, the GEL-KAYANO 12.1 is released as a unisex model, though availability may vary based on specific colorways and sizing.

What is the inspiration behind the design?

The design is a collaboration with KITH that blends the 2006 GEL-KAYANO 12 silhouette with aesthetic influences from European Gothic armour.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt in the mesh

Use a dry, soft-bristled brush to gently dislodge debris from the open-mesh fabric.

Metallic overlays looking dull

Gently wipe the metallic sections with a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with water to restore the sheen.

Odor buildup from daily wear

Remove the insoles to air them out separately and use a deodorizing spray specifically formulated for footwear.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, proper care is essential. Given the metallic detailing and mesh construction, avoid machine washing these shoes. Instead, spot clean the upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. If the mesh becomes dusty, a soft-bristled brush can gently lift dirt from the crevices. Ensure the shoes are kept away from direct heat sources to prevent the glue and materials from warping or degrading. When storing, keep them in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the structural overlays.
