Asics’ newest Gel-Kayano is a mix of metallic and color

Asics reveals new Gel-Kayano sneaker

It’s no secret that Asics has used the last couple of seasons to make use of their entire color collection for their newest releases. From vibrant hues to sleek neutral shades, Asics has used almost every color imaginable for their latest additions. Now, the athletic brand is taking on a lesser-used shade to really make a statement. With a touch of metallic shine, the newest sneaker is anything but subtle or typical. Instead, this mashup of hues allows for the ultimate combination of colors that’ll bring a pop of color to your closet. Even for those weary of adding too much vibrancy into your shoe rotation, this new sneaker is low-key enough to work with any outfit you have in mind. 

Get ready for the new ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 in Silver/Red

Crafted with white mesh uppers, the sneaker dons a contrast with metallic silver overlays that provide a light and shinier look. Adding a bolder hue to the design are burgundy red accents that have been added near the sockliner, the Kayano logo, and the Asics stripes. A translucent detail has also been added to the midsole, bringing the entire colorway pairing together. The overall silhouette of the sneaker takes the shape of the Gel-Kayano 12, while the outsole mimics that of the Gel-Nimbus 17 model, giving it a wonderful blend of previous silhouettes and modern tech. While Asics has yet to reveal a launch date for the sneaker, all signs point to a 2025 launch. An interesting mix of silver and burgundy, this Asics sneaker is the ultimate mix of luxe hues.

Windup Chicago proves the watch fair is still the best room in the business
Five years in, Worn & Wound's traveling show packed a new venue with everything from solo microbrands to Swiss tourbillons, with prices ranging from $250 to $29,000.
Urban, People, Person

Plenty of watch events would strike any reasonable observer as "just fine." Windup Chicago, on the other hand, cleared that bar before I got to the first table. The roving fair, which ran July 10 through 12 at Morgan MFG in Chicago, is back for its fifth year in the city overall. It's the third Windup of 2026, after Dallas and a San Francisco show that pulled 7,000 people over three days.

Admission was free, as it has been since Worn & Wound started running these. With lead sponsors like Atelier Wen, Christopher Ward, Citizen, eBay Live, and Oris, there was plenty of heft, but also, there were panels, podcast recordings, and a Bruichladdich tasting for anyone who needed a break from squinting at dials.

The summer is in full swing. That means you are likely dealing with the rising temperatures to the point that you are sitting back and missing the blizzards of January.

The Pfäffikon, Switzerland–based brand just dropped the Adventure Watch, a field watch styled after the timepieces of the early exploration days but built to Luminox's modern military-grade standards.
