The Gel-Kayano 12.1 has been brought into the modern era with a refreshed light green and off-white colorway for a light-colored sneaker with all the support. Featuring an off-white mesh, light green accents, and silver details, this color combination is modern yet soft. On the other hand, the Gel-Nimbus 10.1 offers wearers a much more neutral palette that’s versatile for any occasion or closet. Using mesh overlays, tonal accents, and gel cushioning for extra support, this sleek and modern pair is great for those who want a shoe that easily fits any style. Both designs are now available via Kith’s app, website, and select in-store locations. These Kith x ASICS shoes retail for $180 and are a great option for those seeking a more special shoe without reaching for bold colors and prints. The ASICS x Kith partnership has proven once again to be one filled with sleek and modern ideas that successfully highlight each brand and deliver a practical shoe that anyone can use for all occasions.
