What makes this collab special?

The collaboration between JJJJound and ASICS is known for its subtle approach to sneaker design. In a market full of flashy colorways and over-the-top branding, JJJJound chooses restraint. The focus is on texture, balance, and durability. In this third collaboration between the brands, the GEL-Kayano 14 takes center stage, a model that made a strong comeback in 2024 and 2025 thanks to the Y2K trend and the appreciation for technical runners.

The collab aligns with the minimalist style of JJJJound, as seen on their own project page. Here you can see how the team does not view the sneaker as a hype product, but as a durable object meant to be worn for a long time.

 

Design and details

Both colorways stay true to the original lines of the GEL-Kayano 14 but distinguish themselves through subtle color combinations and high-quality materials. The White Navy variant has a bright white mesh base, silver overlays, and navy accents on the sole, heel, and laces. The White Silver Black is a bit more subdued, with tone-on-tone silver elements and a dark rubber outsole for contrast.

Both models feature the signature GEL cushioning, a breathable upper, and a mix of synthetic leather and mesh that guarantees both performance and comfort. The JJJJound logo is subtly placed on the tongue and insole – a nod to the brand's understated character.

 

Available variants

Two models will be released simultaneously on June 12:

ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 x JJJJound White Navy (SKU: 1203A961-101)

ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 x JJJJound White Silver Black (SKU: 1203A960-100)

Both colorways come in unisex sizes and are aimed at lovers of both design and performance. The silhouette remains the same as previous GEL-Kayano 14 releases, so you can stick to your usual size – the GEL-Kayano 14 generally fits true to size.

 

Release information

The sneakers will be released on June 12, 2025, through selected retailers, raffles, and of course via the official JJJJound website. The official retailers for this release have not yet been confirmed, but we advise keeping an eye on ASICS.com, END Clothing and BSTN for updates and drops. 

Note: Note: this collab is limited and will likely sell out within minutes. If you miss the drop, you can still get the sneakers through marketplaces like StockX & GOAT.
