Asics is set to kick off 2025 with the return of the GEL-DS Trainer 14, a retro style originally launched in 2009. This model comes from the Kiko Kostadinov-designed SportStyle division, known for its unique take on classic silhouettes. Over the last few years, Asics has successfully revived several iconic models like the GEL-Kayanos and GEL-1130, creating a nostalgic appeal among sneaker enthusiasts.
This release will be available in four intriguing colorways: Dark Mustard, Desert Camp, Desert Midnight, and Waterfall, each featuring eclectic designs with asymmetrical pull tabs and earthy tones that reflect Kiko’s signature style. With an MSRP of $140, the pairs are expected to drop on February 1st, 2025, at Asics and select retailers. This launch represents another chapter in Asics’ ongoing commitment to celebrating its rich heritage through modern design, reinforcing the brand’s relevance in today’s sneaker culture.
