JJJJound has begun to tease their next sneaker release for the Spring & Summer 2025 season, making a notable return to Asics with the retro GEL-Kayano 14 runner. This new design features a clean white mesh base layer complemented by silver synthetic overlays and accented with light blue inner linings alongside GEL pods. Adding depth to the design are dark navy blue stripes on either side, enhancing the shoe’s aesthetic appeal.
Montreal’s JJJJound is renowned for its successful collaborations in the sneaker world, primarily gaining prominence with New Balance since 2018. Their partnership with Asics began in 2022, focusing on retro models including the GEL-Kayano series. Following their first collaborative release of the GEL-Kayano 14, they expanded their lineup with a GT-2160 release in 2024.
The upcoming release is significant as it marks JJJJound’s first revisit to the GEL-Kayano 14 since their initial collaboration three years ago, which was extremely well-received during the model’s revival. This style not only echoes previous popular releases but also embraces a more vibrant color palette. Given the history of this collaboration, sneaker enthusiasts are eagerly anticipating its release, expected exclusively through the JJJJ website. Additionally, it’s worth noting an update regarding another style from JJJJound that surfaced recently, which showcases a similar white/silver/black palette while infusing flashes of yellow into the outsoles, sparking excitement in the sneaker community.
