The ASICS x Kiko Kostadinov GEL-DS Trainer 14 sneakers pack contains 4 sneakers with unique two-toned colorways. This pack is set to be released in February 2025, although the precise date and time of the drop are not yet confirmed.
If you want to grab a pair from the ASICS x Kiko Kostadinov GEL-DS Trainer 14 sneakers pack, they will be available on the official ASICS website and a few select retailers. Each pair will be priced at $140.
What to expect from the ASICS x Kiko Kostadinov GEL-DS Trainer 14 sneakers pack
As mentioned, the ASICS x Kiko Kostadinov GEL-DS Trainer 14 sneakers pack comes in 4 different colorways for fans to choose from. The main purpose of the collaboration is to reimagine the GEL-DS Trainer 14, a shoe that made its first debut in 2009.
The four colorways you can expect to see in this pack include Dark Mustard/Truffle Grey, Desert Camp/Piquant Orange, Desert Midnight/Purple Oxide, and Waterfall/Lichen Rock. The range of shades and colors in this pack means that there is a color for everyone out there. There are darker and lighter palettes depending on your color preference.
The 2025 silhouette of the GEL-DS Trainer 14 has retained a few designs from the original shoe. You can expect to see the same triangular quarter panel, leather overlays, and the signature GEL midsole. However, one new visual update for the shoes includes the pull tabs on the tongue.
Kiko Kostadinov's designs are also clearly seen in the shoes. Kostadinov likes to mix and match textures and materials. As seen, the shoes have a mesh base on the upper covered by dense synthetic overlays. The mesh is dual-tone, giving a stripe-like effect.
In relation to the soles of the trainers, some say that the midsole of the ASICS x Kiko Kostadinov GEL-DS Trainers took inspiration from the Nike Air Max Plus.
Although there has been no official confirmation of the release date, it is believed to be in February 2025. The ASICS x Kiko Kostadinov GEL-DS Trainer 14 sneakers pack will retail for $140 on the ASICS website and in select retail locations.
