The time when Asics was only for runners is officially over.
Nowadays, you see them everywhere from fashion campaigns to daily fits in the city. And the best part? The best Asics models remain surprisingly affordable.
At Snrkickz you will find two icons that prove you don’t have to pay €250 for top quality: the Asics Gel Kayano 14 and the Asics Gel NYC. Two sneakers that find the perfect balance between performance and street style and yes, both are under €200.
Asics Gel Kayano 14 the retro runner that changed everything
The Kayano 14 is not just any sneaker. It is a symbol of the Y2K runner revival. Metallic panels, mesh details, and that recognizable sole that looks like it was pulled straight from 2006, but with modern cushioning that can handle your daily wear.
What makes the Kayano 14 so strong is that it is both sporty and stylish. You can rock it with a tech jacket or loose-fit jeans, and it still exudes that effortless cool.
And while many brands keep raising prices, many of the Kayano models at Snrkickz remain well under €200, the same sneaker you also see in fashion collaborations, but at a fair price.

Fun fact: the Kayano 14 was one of the first Asics models rediscovered by stylists in Paris and Seoul and since then it has become a staple in every sneaker lover’s rotation.
Asics Gel NYC - The modern classic
The Gel NYC feels like the evolution of the Kayano. It combines elements from performance models like the Gel-Nimbus 3 and Gel-MC Plus V, but with a clear streetwear DNA. The result? A sneaker that is light, comfortable, and effortlessly stylish.
The NYC is made for movement, literally and figuratively. It has that recognizable chunky shape that fits perfectly in current fashion, but remains sleek enough to wear cleanly. Where the Kayano screams retro, the NYC is subtle: a sneaker that doesn’t try to stand out, but just does.

Which one do you choose? Kayano or NYC?
The Kayano 14 is for those who love a vintage edge, metallic shine, 2000’s attitude, recognizable design. The Gel NYC is for those who prefer a modern look, layered, clean, with a subtle streetwear vibe.
What they share is that typical Asics feeling: comfort that doesn’t forget your feet, a build that lasts for years, and that mix of tech and fashion that almost no other brand does as well.
Whether you choose the Kayano 14 or the Gel NYC, both sneakers are surprisingly easy to style. Combine the Kayano with a wide-leg jeans and vintage sports jacket for that early-2000s look, or wear it with trousers and an oversized tee for a modern mix. The NYC goes perfectly with techwear or casual streetwear — think utility vest or straight-leg cargo pants. It doesn’t matter how you wear it, as long as you wear it with attitude. Because that’s what Asics stands for nowadays: comfort that looks good.
