Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1 — 1203A976-001
A legend, refined. The Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1 (1203A976-001) revisits one of the most celebrated chapters in the Kayano story — the 12th generation — and updates it for today’s runner and lifestyle wearer. The Kayano lineage spans three decades of overpronation control and premium cushioning, and the 12.1 distills that heritage into a silhouette that performs on the road and resonates off it.
