Original Story (02/09/26): Thom Browne and ASICS have officially teamed up, marking the New York-based luxury fashion house’s first-ever sneaker collaboration.
The partnership centers on the GEL-KAYANO 14, an iconic early-2000s performance runner reinterpreted through Browne’s tailored and detail-driven lens. The sneaker debuted on the runway on February 6th during the GQ Bowl presentation at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco.
Presented in three colorways—grey, black, and white—the Thom Browne GEL-KAYANO 14 blends ASICS’ technical runner DNA with the designer’s signature codes. The sneaker features visible GEL cushioning and subtle Browne branding through the heel pull tab, laces, and insole. Both the “Black” and the “Grey” feature premium perforated suede, while the “White” features leather and mesh, and all three have thick leather piping across the overlays.
The collaboration also received a high-profile moment off the runway, with Stefon Diggs, New England Patriots wide receiver and ambassador for ASICS’ Sportstyle division, wearing the “Grey” colorway, matching his all-grey suit paired with dress shorts.
The Thom Browne x ASICS GEL-KAYANO 14 pack drops March 2nd via Thom Browne, with a possible wider release to follow via ASICS.com and select retailers. Check out the three colorways below and stay tuned to Modern Notoriety for more.
Update (02/23/26): Early access is now live on the Thom Browne website (Grey / Black). The white colorway will be exclusive to Selfridges until late March and will drop on the Thom Browne website on March 23rd.
