The Concepts x ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 "Out Of Office" Draws Inspiration from the Miami Tiger Beetle

Concepts and ASICS have again joined forces, this time to reimagine the GEL-Kayano 14, continuing a partnership that began in 2013.

Both brands have a shared history of deriving inspiration from nature's surroundings since their inception. Like the philosophy of Kaizen, they have continued to evolve. It's a fitting tribute to that mantra, with the GEL-KAYANO design inspired by the stag beetle and Concepts' new iteration inspired by the Miami Tiger Beetle, where we see this shared strategy employed.

The sneaker features a dynamic color palette that transitions from lush greens to vibrant oranges, mirroring the beetle's iridescent shell. Including glistening gold in the GEL cushioning system further enhances the beetle-like appearance, making a bold statement on footwear aesthetics. This design emphasizes the sneaker’s theme of stepping away from the daily grind to reconnect with the natural world.

The "Out Of Office" model is more than just a homage to a fascinating insect; it represents a philosophy of taking breaks, recharging one’s mind, and fostering creativity through a connection to nature. It’s a reminder that sometimes, stepping away from the desk and into the outdoors is all it takes to rejuvenate.

Expect the Concepts x ASICS GEL-Kayano 14 "Out Of Office" to hit shelves in November.
