Few sneaker brands have seen their stock rise in the 2020s quite like ASICS. Literally. The company is up over 400% in the past five years, a massive testament to a mesh runner trend the brand has in equal parts created and relished in.
2026 will see ASICS Sportstyle keep its foot on the gas with a number of new models and spotlight silhouettes, many of which appear in the brand’s Spring/Summer 2026 preview. The GEL-Kayano 12.1 hybrid, Skyhand, and GEL-SD Lyte are all given multiple new makeups, including plenty of colorful options that suit the warmer days to come. We’re also poised to see more from the ASICS GEL-NYC 2.0, a chunkier, more cushioned evolution of its predecessor introduced via a HAL Studios.
The real headliners here are the GEL-Kinetic 2.0 and ASICS Hypersync, the latter being a laced version of the Issey Miyake-designed Hyper Taping.
Expect all the sneakers shown here to release during the Spring/Summer 2026 shopping window, which runs from January to June 2026. We’ll be rolling out individual write-ups as each pair approaches its respective release date.
