ASICS introduces a new iteration of the Gel-Kayano 20 sneaker model with the launch of the Blue Neptune colorway to join the roster. The silhouette is designed in an icy blue tone and it continues with its classic silhouette made from mesh materials for a breathable base foundation.
It is complemented with more leather accents overlaying on top to add some premium touches. The signature tiger stripes nodding to the brand are completed in purple, which adds a touch of detail to the silhouette. The ASICS branding is done in volt green accents along with the black TPU reinforcements which add some tonal contrast. It all rests on a blue, blue Neptune, and volt pattern.
