Product Information

Full details

The ASICS GEL-Kayano 14, a collaboration with Sneaker Politics, is designed for adults seeking a unique and stylish trainer with a retro aesthetic. Its key benefit lies in its distinctive "Just Say No" campaign-inspired design, featuring gold and silver overlays, a red heel accent, and a cream midsole. A potential caveat is its limited edition nature, which may affect availability.

FAQs

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

The design is inspired by the late 1980s and early 1990s "Just Say No" anti-drug campaign, influencing the color palette and thematic elements of this special release.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While the GEL-Kayano 14 features ASICS' GEL cushioning, this specific collaborative version is primarily designed for lifestyle and fashion wear. For dedicated running, ASICS offers specialized performance running shoes.

How do I clean the hemp patterned insoles?

The insoles can be removed. Hand wash them with cool water and a mild detergent, then allow them to air dry completely before placing them back into the shoes.

What is the sizing like for these trainers?

It is recommended to refer to ASICS' general sizing guide. As these are collaborative trainers, ensure your size is accurate as they are a limited release.

Where can I find other colorways or sizes?

This is a limited edition collaboration. Other available sizes or related colorways may be found through ASICS' official channels or authorized retailers, but availability may be limited.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper combines various materials, including synthetic overlays and potentially mesh or nylon underlays, with distinctive gold and silver detailing and suede or leather accents.

Troubleshooting

Discoloration on cream midsole

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For persistent marks, consider a specialized shoe cleaner suitable for cream-colored materials.

Scuffs on metallic or suede overlays

For metallic overlays, attempt to gently buff out scuffs with a soft, dry cloth. For suede areas, use a suede brush to lift the nap and remove minor marks. Deeper scuffs may be permanent.

Creases in the material

Creasing is a natural part of wear for trainers. To minimize appearance, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees for storage to help maintain shape.

Unusual odor from insoles

Remove the insoles and air them out in a well-ventilated area. You can also lightly sprinkle baking soda on the insoles to absorb odors, then brush off any residue.

Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 trainers:

  1. Cleaning Uppers: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and smudges. For more stubborn marks on the suede or leather overlays, a dedicated suede cleaner and brush may be used sparingly.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Clean the cream midsole and rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  3. Insoles: The insoles with the hemp pattern can be removed for spot cleaning. Hand wash with cool water and mild detergent, then allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
  4. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
  5. Avoid Harsh Conditions: Due to the special design elements and collaborative nature, avoid exposing the trainers to excessive moisture, mud, or harsh chemicals.
