Tear resistant overlays maintain structural integrity during stretching
The ASICS Tiger GEL-Kayano 14 in Cream/Iron is a retro-inspired sneaker that combines early-2000s design elements with modern comfort features. Originally released in 2008, it was reintroduced in 2021 due to its popularity and nostalgic appeal. The shoe features a breathable mesh upper with synthetic overlays, GEL? technology in the heel for shock absorption, and a TRUSSTIC? system for midfoot stability. While it offers solid impact protection, it has a low energy return, providing a stable base suitable for those with overpronation. Users have noted that the GEL-1130 fits slightly larger than other ASICS models, so sizing down by half a size may be advisable for a better fit. The sneaker has gained popularity for its comfort and affordability, with some users considering it one of the most comfortable models in ASICS' lineup.
