Inspired by the late 2000s look, these Asics running shoes for men feature layered synthetic leather and mesh upper, maintaining the traditional design of the 2008 shoe. The upper is made with over 20% materials. The insole, dyed with paste, helps reduce water consumption by about 33% and carbon emissions by about 45%. The GEL cushioning technology ensures exceptional shock absorption. This shoe retains the TRUSSTIC support system that helped runners improve stability in the late 2000s. The elements of the GEL-KAYANO 14 sneaker are reintroduced in the shoe's upper.
