ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 PACE Cream Black

ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 PACE Cream Black — Stability Transformed into Design

The Gel-Kayano was introduced in 1993 as ASICS’ premium stability model, designed by Toshikazu Kayano with a panelled design inspired by the exoskeleton of the Japanese rhinoceros beetle. Three decades later, Brazilian brand PACE joins ASICS to reinterpret the Gel-Kayano 12.1, fusing Japanese design with a contemporary Brazilian aesthetic. This Cream Black colorway translates that collaboration into a contrast between cream and black tones, turning a technical sneaker into a design piece.

Gel-Kayano — Three Decades of Stability for Distance Runners

For years, the Gel-Kayano has been ASICS’ benchmark for runners seeking extra support and structure over long distances, thanks to its classic medial stability post. The collaboration with PACE retains this technical foundation while adding a grey and cream optical illusion graphic pattern across the toe box, side panel and heel, with black patent finishes in the lateral branding area.

Materials and Technology

• Upper: technical mesh with a grey and cream optical illusion graphic and black patent finishes.
• Interior: stability system with a medial post for greater support during long-distance runs.
• Outsole: midsole with GEL technology for cushioning and impact control.
