Product Information

Full details

This exclusive ASICS GEL-Kayano 14, a collaboration with Sneaker Politics, is designed for adults seeking a stylish and comfortable trainer with a unique aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in its distinctive design, inspired by the "Just Say No" campaign, featuring a blend of cream and gold with subtle red accents. A potential caveat is its limited edition nature, making it a collector's item as much as a functional shoe.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure the correct size is selected. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Check laces for proper tightness – not too loose, not too tight. Consider using thicker socks if the fit is slightly loose.

Dirt or stains on the upper

Refer to the care instructions for cleaning methods specific to leather and nylon. Use a mild cleaner and a soft brush for stubborn marks.

Soles feel stiff

New shoes can sometimes feel stiff. Wear them for short durations around the house to allow them to mold to your feet. The cushioning should improve with use.
