Asics Gel-Kayano 12.1 'Dragon Fruit Black' (2026)

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 'Dragon Fruit Black' (1203A759-701) is a lifestyle reworking of a mid-2000s Gel-Kayano runner, finished in bright Dragon Fruit tones against black.

Overview

The Gel-Kayano line launched in 1993 and became one of ASICS' best-known stability running franchises. The 12.1 revisits the twelfth instalment of the series, which first arrived in 2006, and adapts it for everyday wear.

The shoe pairs a breathable mesh base with layered synthetic overlays that echo the busy, technical styling of its era. GEL cushioning in the midsole, an ASICS technology since 1986, helps soften impact underfoot.

The vivid colour blocking makes this pair the focal point of an outfit, so it works best with black, grey or washed denim. It suits fans of archival running design who want something louder than a neutral colourway.

Every pair is authenticated by hand at PUSHAS, so you can shop with confidence.
