The GEL-KAYANOTM 14 running sneaker has been updated significantly while maintaining its late-2000s look. This version of the shoe is remarkable since it is the first that was not created by Toshikazu Kayano.

The sneaker now has better cushioning thanks to GELTM technology, which is similar to the original midsole construction. The top has also been updated, but the layered leather and mesh structure from 2008 remains. Overall, this update represents a huge step forward for the series in terms of performance progression while remaining true to its core ideals.
