ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 'White Fjord Grey': Design, Fit and Styling

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 'White Fjord Grey' combines a white mesh base with metallic silver overlays and slate blue-grey panels on a shoe first released in 2008 as a running trainer. It matters because it shows how a late-2000s performance design now works as a clean, cool-toned everyday sneaker.

The pair is live now at PUSHAS as the ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 'White Fjord Grey', and it sits in the full ASICS collection alongside the rest of the brand's runners and archive models. You can also browse every colourway in the Gel-Kayano 14 collection.

The design: white, silver and slate blue-grey

In the PUSHAS photos, the upper starts with a white mesh base. Metallic silver overlays run across the toe, the eyestay and the heel, and slate blue-grey panels and accents sit between them, which is the fjord grey of the name. The ASICS stripes are outlined in dark navy, a fine detail that sharpens the side profile without adding a second loud colour.

Underneath, the midsole is white and grey, with the GEL detailing visible in the heel. GEL-KAYANO 14 text sits on the heel. The result is a shoe with a layered, technical look but a restrained palette: light and cool.

From 2008 running shoe to lifestyle return

ASICS first released the Gel-Kayano 14 in 2008 as a running shoe. The Gel-Kayano line is named for its creator, Toshikazu Kayano, but the 14th model was the first in the series he did not design. Hidenori Yamashita designed it.

The shoe came back in late 2020. ASICS reimagined the Gel-Kayano 14 as a lifestyle shoe, keeping the layered late-2000s look of the original. For the full story, read our Gel-Kayano 14 history.

Materials and tech: GEL and layered mesh

The technology story centres on GEL cushioning. The Gel-Kayano 14 uses GEL cushioning, and its tooling follows the 2008 original. On this pair, the GEL detailing is visible in the white and grey midsole.

Above the midsole, the PUSHAS photos show a mesh upper with metallic silver overlays and slate blue-grey panels.

Fit and styling

Fit depends on your foot shape and the ASICS sizes you already own; check the complete ASICS Gel-Kayano size guide before you choose.

For styling, treat the silver and slate blue-grey as cool neutrals. Try the shoe with straight grey or navy denim, a washed grey sweatshirt or a clean white tee. A navy or charcoal technical jacket picks up the dark navy outlining on the stripes, and silver-toned details such as a watch or a zip pull echo the overlays. Try it with shorts in warmer weather.
