Unquestionably overshadowed by split-tongue predecessors, the Asics Gel Kayano 21 Awake NY Teal has received notable attention over the last few years thanks to thoughtful collaborations. For its latest ensemble, the silhouette has indulged in a “Black” and “Birch” colorway, with the latter tone taking over much of the forefoot, prompting a “Birch Toe” moniker.
Inspired by Japanese fashion and cozy living, the newly-surfaced ASICS proposition boasts an upper reworked with oily suedes, waxed canvas and undid hemp materials for a sophisticated presentation. As with the Japanese idea of monozukuri, the recently-launched pair offers a simplistic color palette and natural aesthetic manufactured with pride. Detailing on the spine deviates from the monochromatic arrangement in favor of rich burgundy and navy. Underfoot, the performance-oriented tooling reverts to the titular “Birch” hue and maintains its standard build, featuring GEL® technology all-throughout and a semi-translucent TRUSSTIC™ support component at the center of the outsole.
