The ASICS Gel-Kahana TR V2 'Black Silver' is a black mesh sneaker with silver and grey metallic overlays, a pale sand midsole and a black lugged outsole. It belongs to the ASICS Gel-Kahana TR line, and this colourway is a dark, graphic take on the V2 shape.

Where the Gel-Kahana TR V2 sits in the ASICS line

The Gel-Kahana TR name covers several ASICS models, and the V2 sits alongside later versions such as the V4. The V2 'Moon Pack' arrived in August 2023 in two colourways, one light and one dark.

'Black Silver' is another colourway of the same V2 shape. If you want to compare it with its siblings, the editorial on the best ASICS Gel-Kahana TR colourways lays out the range, and the Meteorite Black story covers another dark V2.

Visually, the shape is a chunky profile with layered overlays and a deep tread, which is why the styling suggestions below lean towards outdoor-style outfits.

Design and materials of the Black Silver colourway

The base of the upper is black mesh. Across it run silver and grey metallic overlays, and the ASICS stripes on the side are rendered in the same silver-grey tone, so the branding reads as part of the metallic layer rather than a separate accent. On the V2 'Moon Pack', the upper paired mesh with ripstop.

At the heel, a honeycomb-style panel adds a patterned, textured section to an otherwise smooth black back. It is a small detail, but in photos it is one of the first things that separates this pair from plainer black trainers.

Underneath, the midsole is a pale sand or cream tone with a black wave detail running through it. That is the only warm note on the shoe, and it breaks up the black and silver without adding a loud colour. The outsole is black and lugged, with a deep, patterned tread.

Laces, toggles and the details that give it character

The lacing is a feature you notice up close. There are dual black laces, and each is finished with a grey toggle. The effect is a layered, tool-like front section that suits the rest of the shoe: functional-looking hardware on a dark body.

On this colourway, the grey toggles pick up the silver of the overlays, which keeps the palette tight: black, silver, grey and one sand-coloured midsole.

Every colour on the shoe sits in the same narrow range. Side-on you see the stripes and overlays, from the front you see the laces and toggles, and from behind the honeycomb-style heel panel.

How to style it

For styling, these are suggestions rather than rules. Try the black and silver palette with dark denim or washed black jeans, so the sand midsole becomes the one light line at the bottom of the outfit. Try it with technical trousers, cargo shorts or a nylon shell if you want the outdoor feel to carry through. Grey, charcoal and off-white knits work with the silver overlays, and a plain black tee keeps the shoe as the focus. Socks in a cream or sand shade echo the midsole.
