The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 12.1 is a modern reinterpretation of the iconic GEL-KAYANO 12, blending retro performance roots with a contemporary lifestyle twist. Originally released in the mid-2000s, the 12th iteration of the GEL-KAYANO line was known for its reliable stability and cushioning for long-distance runners. The “12.1” version updates this legacy with street-ready style and refined construction.
