Ronnie Fieg just dropped his newest Kith and Asics collab - two pairs of the Gel-Kayano 12.1. This mashup sneaker mixes the upper of the Gel-Kayano 12 with the tooling of the Gel-Nimbus 17, one pair in Cream and Pure Aqua, and the other as a nod to the New York Knicks. Check out my in-depth review to learn more about this new model, and to hear all you need to know about it. Anyone else grab these from this past Monday's drop?

    Sean got one of the coldest backgrounds out of all sneaker content creators man. Sneaker cases and shelves aren’t bad but personally something about boxes stacked on boxes speaks to me.
  • @MrFritzwho
    Another kith collab I’ll have to admire from afar.
  • @dbradbu0626
    Great vid. Knew these would be sought after. Glad I got access
  • @mrjonchu
    🐐🐐🐐, I appreciate that you review hype and non hype sneakers. Got mine in the Knicks colorway today and they look great.
  • @shakenbake1510
    Thanks Sean! Another great review. Cream is sweet but the Nicks colourway is something special. Mine get here soon!
  • @damoncunningham1194
    Haven’t won a kith shoe draw ever, and managed to hit on both colourways!!! So pumped to get these in hand!!
  • @yoitsjj20
    excited to see these in-hand next week LFGGG
  • @chalim23
    Thanks for the review Sean! Got the cream colorway as that’s my preferred and love it. Which lace option do you prefer most on the cream pair? Ah and I liked the new frame with the laces on the shoe! Very helpful
  • @karenk3458
    The Knicks is my favorite pair as it pops!
  • @elniro
    I picked up the knicks homage pair. Early access came in clutch 😁
  • @nedupgw
    Thanks for the review Sean! I know you mentioned these were much firmer and minimalist, between these and the Gel Kayano 14s - which ones are comfier?
  • @gipson123
    honestly the kanji detail on the tongue sold me on the knicks pair
  • @elijahmodnar1
    I had the 12's nearly 20years ago! they were crazy light for a posted stability shoe, from the 13s they became thick :P
  • @rozcokicks
    I bought Ronnie’s Gel Lyte 3.1 Salmon before these were announced. It’s cool to see the midsole/outsole of the Nimbus 17 being reused.
  • @kevdaylight
    Ok keeping em both then, the greenish tinge on the other one helped differentiate from the knicks colorway!
  • @mklp82
    Shoutout Kith Toronto for handling this release smoothly, glad I secured
