ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 'Liberaiders' (2025)

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 12.1 'Liberaiders' (1203A985-002) is the first collaboration between ASICS and Japanese label Liberaiders, dressed in Black/Pure Silver. Released on 12 December 2025, it sets a deep black suede and mesh upper against the brand's signature Sky Blue on the lining.

Overview

Liberaiders built the project around its own colour and material concept rather than a loud graphic treatment. The result is a stealth, all-black take on the Gel-Kayano 12.1 Liberaiders that keeps the collaboration's identity in the details.

The upper uses suede overlays on an open mesh base, with reflective accents around the shoe for visibility in low light. Sky Blue lines the interior, and the tongue carries the KAYANO name in kanji on one side and the Liberaiders logo on the other. ASICS GEL cushioning sits in a grey-toned midsole.

The Gel-Kayano 12.1 Liberaiders suits anyone who wants a technical runner in a dark, low-key palette. It works with black denim, utility trousers and outerwear, and the reflective hits and blue lining reward a closer look.

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