Asics is starting off the year with a retro of an older silhouette, 2009’s GEL-DS Trainer 14. While some in-line styles have surfaced in recent weeks, today we have a full look at four colors from the Kiko Kostadinov-helmed SportStyle division.
Asics has been on a hot streak for the last few years with their retro releases, pulling out running and training shoes from the last two and a half decades for refreshed releases. The GEL-Kayanos 14 & 20 as well as the GEL-1130 are all notable recent revivals, and this year they are preparing to reintroduce us to the GEL-DS Trainer 14, a running shoe from 2009. The silhouette is set to make its return soon, and is kicking things off with a series of colorways from Kiko Kostadinov’s division of the SportStyle design team.
The Kiko touches on this new wave of GEL-DS Trainers are similar to other releases we’ve seen from his team over the last few years. The signature asymmetrical pull tabs on the tongues are present, as are some over-the-top, eclectic colorways. The four for this release come in Dark Mustard, Desert Camp, Desert Midnight, and Waterfall. Each pair features striping across the mesh base layer, and earthen tones for the rest of the synthetic overlay pieces.
