Aritzia and ASICS Collaborated on Three GEL-KAYANO 14 Colorways

Aritzia has been a favorite amongst women looking for affordable luxury for years, and recently the Vancouver-based brand has been increasing its footwear and men’s offering. In 2021, it acquired fellow Vancouver brand Reigning Champ and now also stocks a curated footwear selection from other brands, including New Balance and ASICS. Its collaboration with ASICS comes on one of the “it” shoes of the moment, the GEL-KAYANO 14. The collaboration features three unisex colorways, White/Leprechaun, White/Black, and Blanc De Blanc/Blanc De Blanc.

This tasteful execution was led by Ariztia’s Head of Special Projects, Gemo Wong. Wong is an industry veteran, including nearly two decades at Nike and Jordan Brand, where he was head of NRG and played a role in some of the Jumpman’s best collaborations of all time, including Off-White, DIOR, KAWS, Travis Scott, and more. Wong also co-designed the SoleSavy 4 (SS4).

The Aritzia x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14s release on 08/10/23 at 11:00 ET for $160.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
