ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 x A.P.C.

Luxury French clothing brand A.P.C. collaborated with ASICS to create this tennis-inspired take on the iconic Gel-Kayano 14. A.P.C. founder, Jean Touitou, aimed to produce a highly wearable sneaker with a heritage sportswear look that would build confidence on and off the court. The result was an elegantly minimalist shoe decorated in clean white tones with Pure Silver accents on the glossy metallic sidewall stripes and shimmering Gel inserts. Its preppy aesthetic evokes stylish 1970s outfits, blending function and fashion for an active lifestyle. A gum brown outsole adds vintage sporting vibes, while the asymmetric upper incorporates sleek details, including dual branding that skillfully combines the ASICS and A.P.C. logos to conclude this sophisticated design with a classy touch.
