The most popular Asics models at the moment
Asics is the retro runner of the moment. Three models currently stand out in terms of popularity and search volume: the Gel-Kayano 14, the Gel-NYC, and the Gel-1130. Below, you can read what makes each model special and which colors are being worn the most right now.
Asics Gel-Kayano 14
The Gel-Kayano 14 is currently the most sought-after and worn model. Originally launched in 2008 as a running shoe, the sneaker has been brought back with a retro-futuristic look: a mesh upper with metallic overlays and the signature GEL cushioning in the sole. Popular colors now include Cream/Black , White/Midnight , silver colorways, and the Metropolis Jasper Green version. Highly sought-after colors often sell out quickly.

The Gel-NYC is newer than the Kayano 14, but at least as beloved. The model combines elements of the Gel-Nimbus and Gel-Kayano in a breathable mesh upper with suede and synthetic panels, built on a sole unit inspired by the Gel-Cumulus 16. Popular colors include Oyster Grey , all black, and the warmer Ivory/Clay Grey mix. For streetwear enthusiasts, this is the sneaker that brings together running heritage and an urban look.

The Gel-1130 has grown into one of this year's best-selling lifestyle sneakers: an accessible price, a lower profile than the Kayano 14, and a Y2K look that is popping up everywhere. Current colors include Cream Oatmeal , White Clay Canyon , Black/Silver , Tiffany Turquoise , and the newer White Sky and Shamrock Green . The classic Black & White colorway also remains a firm bestseller.
