We know by now that ASICS has mastered the chunky sneaker game. But what happens when you blend tropical practicality with sleek design twists? You get the latest chapter of Monsoon Patrol ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14. This addition to the ASICS AW2024 collection is a result of a collaboration with Limited Edt, Singapore’s premier sneaker concept store, and the renowned designer Mark Ong (aka Mr. Sabotage). ASICS presents a sneaker that’s not just about aesthetics but also built to withstand the elements.
ASICS Continues to Evolve
The Monsoon Patrol collection’s vision has always been about equipping individuals with gear to withstand wet weather conditions in tropical climates. This ethos continues with the latest iterations of the GEL-KAYANO 14, available in sleek cream and black colourways. Here’s what makes these kicks a must-have:
- Translucent Rubber Coating: Covering the upper half, this feature gives the sneakers a unique, modern look while providing additional protection.
- Removable Shroud with Hidden Storage: Attachable via buttons, this shroud isn’t just for show. It offers practical hidden storage, adding a layer of functionality to the design.
- Military-Style Details: Look closely at the lateral heel, and you’ll see military-style details that commemorate this unique collaboration.
Style Meets Functionality
Imagine stepping out into the rain, confident that your sneakers can handle whatever Mother Nature throws at them. These GEL-KAYANO 14s are not just about aesthetics—they’re about bridging the gap between fashion and function. The translucent rubber coating doesn’t just look cool; it also shields the sneakers from the elements. And that removable shroud? It’s perfect for stashing small essentials, ensuring you’re always prepared, rain or shine.
