Just Launched:
The iconic Asics Gel-Kayano 14 reimagined by Thom Browne
The worlds of tailoring and technical running rarely collide - but when they do, the result can redefine both.
With the launch of the Thom Browne x ASICS collaboration, the New York designer known for his sharply cut grey suits steps firmly into the sneaker arena, reimagining the cult-favourite ASICS GEL‑Kayano 14 through the lens of his unmistakable uniform aesthetic.
Tailoring meets technical running in the new collaboration between Thom Browne and ASICS — a sharp, stripped-back take on the cult classic ASICS GEL-Kayano 14.
Browne steps into the sneaker space with a design that stays true to both brands. The GEL-Kayano 14 — a 2008 performance runner turned fashion favourite — gets a luxury upgrade rather than a full redesign.

The drop arrives in three colourways: grey, black and white. Think breathable mesh uppers, suede and leather overlays, and Browne’s unmistakable grosgrain tab at the heel. Clean, tonal, and intentionally minimal.
There’s no heavy branding, no overworked graphics — just a refined version of a sneaker that already has cult status.

But the collaboration doesn’t stop at footwear. Alongside the sneakers, Browne introduced a sport-inspired clothing capsule that blends athletic references with his signature shrunken tailoring. The runway styling paired the sneakers with grey suiting, tailored shorts and school-uniform-style layers, pushing Browne’s long-standing theme of sportswear meeting formal dress. The pieces lean into classic prep and team-uniform cues — structured blazers, layered outerwear and technical fabrics — reworking traditional athletic codes through the brand’s precise, uniform-driven lens.
The timing makes sense. Retro running silhouettes continue to dominate the sneaker conversation, and ASICS has become one of the most credible players in the space. Bringing Browne’s disciplined design language into that world gives the model a new, more elevated edge.
The result is exactly what you’d expect from Thom Browne: precise, understated, and quietly distinctive. A performance sneaker - and now a sportswear capsule - but tailored.
