ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 12.1 x KITH
Heritage Reimagined with a Gothic Edge.

Co-created with KITH, the GEL-KAYANO™ 12.1 fuses iconic elements from the 2006 GEL-KAYANO™ 12 with modern performance upgrades. Drawing design inspiration from European gothic armor, the upper blends structured, metallic styling with breathable mesh underlays for a striking look and enhanced ventilation.

Underfoot, the sneaker is equipped with the advanced tooling system from the GEL-NIMBUS™ 17—originally developed to deliver marathon-level cushioning. Featuring dual GEL™ technology inserts and FLUIDRIDE™ midsole construction, this sneaker offers a smooth, responsive ride with excellent impact absorption.
