FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the GEL-Kayano 12.1's design?

The design's upper was inspired by the structural and metallic properties of European gothic armor, combined with iconic design details from the 2006 version of the GEL-Kayano.

Are these trainers suitable for marathon running?

While the midsole technology is derived from marathon-engineered shoes (GEL-NIMBUS 17), the GEL-Kayano 12.1 is primarily designed for comfort in daily wear and light athletic activities. For serious marathon running, specialized shoes offering advanced stability and performance features might be more appropriate.

How do I clean the white and grey colorway to prevent stains?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap for general cleaning. For the mesh areas, a soft brush can be used. Always allow the shoes to air dry and avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the color.

What does 'co-created with KITH' mean?

It signifies that the design and development of this specific sneaker model involved collaboration with the lifestyle brand KITH, blending ASICS' technical expertise with KITH's design vision.

What is the benefit of the open mesh underlays?

The open mesh underlays are designed to improve airflow throughout the shoe, helping to keep your feet cooler and more comfortable, especially during extended wear.

What is FLUIDRIDE cushioning?

FLUIDRIDE is an ASICS cushioning technology that provides a combination of bounce-back and cushioning properties in a lightweight package, offering a comfortable and responsive feel.

Where can I find the style code?

The style code, 1203A759-104, is typically found on the product's label inside the shoe or on the original packaging.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. Try wearing thinner socks. If the issue persists after a short break-in period, consider if the fit is suitable for your foot shape.

Slight discomfort during initial wear

New shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to mold to your feet.

Reduced cushioning over time

The cushioning may naturally compress with extended use. Regular cleaning and proper storage can help preserve the integrity of the cushioning materials.

Squeaking sound

This can sometimes occur due to moisture between layers or the outsole. Ensure the shoes are completely dry. A light dusting of talcum powder inside the shoe might help.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Unique, stylish design combining retro and modern aesthetics.
Excellent cushioning for all-day comfort.
Breathable upper keeps feet cool.
Durable construction for longevity.
Versatile for casual wear and light training.

Cons

May not offer specialized support for high-intensity or sport-specific training.
The unique design might not appeal to all style preferences.
Sizing may vary, suggesting careful consideration of fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no assembly. Simply ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal comfort and fit.

Compatibility: The GEL-Kayano 12.1 is designed for general adult male use. While inspired by running shoes, they are most compatible with casual wear, athleisure outfits, and light fitness activities.

Care Instructions: To maintain the condition of your GEL-Kayano 12.1 trainers:

Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the synthetic upper and leather overlays with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Mesh Underlays: Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt from the mesh areas. For deeper cleaning, a mild soap and water solution can be used sparingly.
Midsole and Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole and midsole with a damp cloth. Ensure no debris is stuck in the tread.
Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
