Using an upper construction featuring the brand’s FLUIDFIT cage, the collaborative Gel-Kayano 20 has the perfect fit for all while donning a 2010-inspired aesthetic. Also featuring breathable mesh underlays and Asics’ GEL technology for the rear and forefoot, this shoe comes with all the technical components you love about the running brand. As an added measure for support and stability, this design comes equipped with a GUIDANCE TRUSSTIC system that will keep you on your feet all day. The duo also opted for a sand tonal hue and accents to resemble shipping tape for the perfect cardboard look. Now available via Doublet and Asics, the new sneaker retails for $225. Although many collaborative shoes have recently infused out-of-the-box designs, this Doublet x Asics Gel-Kayano 20 shoe proves you can still infuse style with sensible footwear.
