Japanese music meets sportswear as ASICS partners with ZUTOMAYO for a new take on the Gel-Kayano 14. The collection features two models that reflect the anonymous band's visual style and electronic sound.

The first design comes in black with purple accents. A dark mesh and leather upper sits above a two-tone sole, with purple details on the sock liner and side branding. Pink translucent elements appear along the midsole, adding depth to the otherwise dark palette.

The second version opts for white as its foundation. The upper combines rubber, suede, and mesh materials, balanced by green, purple, and magenta touches throughout. Silver "ZTMY" lace tags mark this as a special release.

Both shoes maintain the Gel-Kayano 14's signature shape while incorporating elements from ZUTOMAYO's aesthetic. Technical details include the original cushioning system and support structures that define the Kayano line.
