ASICS introduced the latest iteration of the GEL-KAYANO 5 360 sneaker for the season in new tonal updates in bold and captivating blends. The Japanese footwear label takes the silhouette from its archives, specifically the vintage-inspired model GEL-KAYANO 5 from the previous year.

It then takes the technical components from the GEL-QUANTUM 360 sneaker model as the progressive sole for comfortable cushioning. The blend of these elements make the GEL-KAYANO 5 360 sneaker a hybrid design that prepares for the streets and lifestyle wear. The colorway draws attention with bright hues of orange, red, and blue sitting on top of a base of cream and piedmont gray as a earthy foundational palette. The midsoles also boast some speckling detailing for a touch of contrast.
