ASICS Gel-Kayano 20 'White / Black'
Description
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 20 'White / Black' marks a celebratory return of one of the most revered stability running silhouettes in footwear history. Originally launched in 2013 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Gel-Kayano franchise — a series conceived by legendary designer Toshikazu Kayano in 1993 — this modern re-release carries the style code 1203B141-100, signaling a contemporary reimagining that honors three decades of innovation in performance running footwear. Overview The Gel-Kayano 20 'White' delivers a pristine, tonal colorway that showcases the shoe's architectural design language. The upper is constructed with breathable mesh panels and synthetic overlays that provide targeted structural support, while the predominantly white palette lends the silhouette a clean, minimalist aesthetic suited for both athletic and casual wear. Underfoot, ASICS' renowned rearfoot and forefoot GEL cushioning technology works to absorb impact at every phase of the gait cycle, a hallmark feature that has defined the Kayano line since its inception. The FluidFit upper adapts dynamically to the foot's natural movement, ensuring a secure yet comfortable fit across varying foot shapes. A Guidance Trusstic System integrated into the midsole promotes gait efficiency, while the Impact Guidance System encourages a fluid, natural transition from heel strike through toe-off. The ComforDry sockliner rounds out the experience with moisture-wicking comfort designed for sustained wear. Key Highlights Iconic Gel-Kayano Legacy: Part of a franchise spanning over 30 years, widely regarded as one of the gold standards in stability running footwear. Style Code 1203B141-100: A modern re-release that brings the celebrated 20th anniversary edition to a new generation of runners and collectors alike. Dual GEL Cushioning Technology: Rearfoot and forefoot GEL units deliver comprehensive shock attenuation, providing reliable comfort across short and long-distance efforts.

WHY OUR PRICES
The honest answer. The question we hear most: how can you sell the same sneakers for so much less? Here's the full, transparent breakdown — not a marketing line.
Where your money goes
At a boutique — $400
- The shoe itself ~15–25%
- Flagship store rent overhead
- Global advertising overhead
- Celebrity partnerships overhead
- Multi-layer distribution overhead
At Sole Dept
- The shoe itself what you pay for
- Boutique rent removed
- Advertising levy removed
- Celebrity premium removed
- Intermediary margins removed
Why we can do it
Production cost
The materials, construction and labour in a quality pair are a fraction of the boutique price. The rest is overhead and brand premium.
The retail mark-up
Brands add huge mark-ups to fund advertising, flagship stores and distribution across dozens of countries — you pay for all of it, whether you want to or not.
The Sole Dept difference
We source directly through UA (unauthorised authentic) supply lines. Lean operating costs, and every dollar saved is passed to you at checkout.
PACKAGING & WHATS INCLUDED
Every pair arrives complete. When your order lands, it looks and feels exactly the way it should — the full retail presentation, nothing stripped out. Here's precisely what comes in the box.
What's in every order
Original branded box
Each pair ships in its correct branded shoe box with the matching size label and SKU — the same box the silhouette is meant to come in, protected inside an outer shipping carton so it arrives crush-free.
Complete original packaging
Tissue paper, silica packs, the branded wrapping and inserts that shape the shoe in transit — all present, just as you'd expect from a boutique unboxing.
Dust bags
Where the model is issued with dust bags, they're included — ideal for storing your pair, keeping it clean between wears, and travelling with it.
Extras & spares
Spare laces, alternate lace colours, replacement parts and any accessories that ship with the original — included in the box exactly as intended.
Free gift with every order
On top of the full packaging, every Sole Dept order includes a complimentary free gift as a thank-you — a small extra tucked in the box, on us.

Protected in transit
Box-in-a-box shipping means your pair travels the way it should and reaches you in the same condition it left us.
