This version of ASICS’ GEL Kayano 14 has all the underpinnings of a great late-noughties runner: it’s lightweight, filled with tech and covered in a typical-of-the-era colourway. Breathable mesh and supportive synthetics — in both silver and gold — are used across the uppers, while a base of GEL cushioning keeps you comfortable mile after mile.
