ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 Black Cilantro — the stag beetle dresses in Brazilian green
The Black Cilantro colorway is part of a color pack inspired by national flags that ASICS launched in the run-up to the 2026 World Cup, dedicated to Brazil: a black mesh base combined with the distinctive green of the Brazilian flag, plus touches of gold and silver on the toe box and Tiger Stripes. It is a modern take on the Gel-Kayano, one of ASICS's most beloved stability models, now featuring a palette that celebrates Brazilian football and culture.
Gel-Kayano 12.1 — nature-rooted stability since 1993
In 1993, designer Toshikazu Kayano drew inspiration from the exoskeleton of the stag beetle to create a running shoe that was both protective and agile, giving rise to the Gel-Kayano. That first model combined GEL cushioning, a Duomax medial post for stability, and an upper that precisely wrapped the foot. The current Gel-Kayano 12.1 fuses the upper of the 2006 Gel-Kayano 12 with the sole of the Gel-Nimbus 17, featuring an upper inspired by European Gothic armor through its metallic structure and open-mesh underlays for ventilation. In Black Cilantro, that base is tinted black and green with metallic accents.
Materials and technology
- Upper: open black mesh with technical underlays and cilantro green and gold accents.
- Interior: breathable padded lining for everyday wear.
- Sole: GEL cushioning, a stability medial post, and a sole with the iconic Tiger Stripes.
