UP THERE x Asics Gel-Kayano 20 Releases Next Week
Sydney-based sneaker institution UP THERE is unveiling its latest partnership with Asics, revisiting the storied Gel-Kayano 20—a silhouette that defined the brand's approach to cushioning and stability during the early 2010s. The collaboration arrives next week.

The Silhouette's Legacy
The Asics Gel-Kayano 20 occupies a distinct position in the Japanese brand's running heritage. Launched in 2013, it represented a refinement of Asics's commitment to pronation control and responsive gel cushioning, appealing equally to runners seeking technical performance and sneaker collectors drawn to the model's distinctive split-tongue construction and layered upper. Nearly a decade later, the Gel-Kayano 20 has emerged as a fixture in boutique reissue culture, valued for its proportions and the design language it embodies.
UP THERE's involvement signals the boutique's continued curatorial approach to Asics collaborations. Based in Sydney, the shop has built credibility through selective partnerships that respect both the collaborative partner and the source material, rather than pursuing novelty for its own sake.
