Kith for Asics Gel-Kayano 14 'Antler'

As we wrap up the Kith exclusives for Asics, we're finishing it off with the Antler colorway. I personally think the Gel Kayano 14 'Antler' compliments the Starlight Blue 1130 perfectly& is a good choice if you were looking to add some color to your rotation for the summer.

Materials:
I feel like in terms of materials, these are very similar to the previous Kith exclusives we have seen so far. The silver panels have a somewhat tumbled look to them & feel nice to touch. The mesh used is a cream color & feels pretty breathable on foot. Lastly, the Antler hits that are primarily on the majority of the inlays of the silver panels. Overall, I feel like they had a nice color combo that worked nicely.

Comfort/Sizing: I personally find this model extremely comfortable. This model has no break in period and is comfy & soft straight out of the box. The feel on foot is very squishy but doesn't feel unstable like boost. In terms of sizing, I always get the Kayano 14 in my tts, size 8, and it has always fit my foot perfectly.

Overall Opinion: when I first saw this colorway in photos, it was originally my favorite, but when I saw the scarab in hand & saw the dark green hits, the 1130 is what won me over. The Antler is a nice colorway to wear during the summer time & as it transitions to fall. The entire pack has been an awesome collection to see & it's really nice to see the focus of Asics to be brought to some of the other models in their vault. If I had to choose my favorites after reviewing all four, I'd personally go, Scarab 1130, Starlight Blue 1130, Scarab 14 & Antler 14.

Which colorway will you be going for out of the pack?
If you didn't know, all 4 of these will be released online this Friday at 11am at Kith. Don't sleep.

None of this would've been possible without the help of @sxhernandez , so thank you again.

If you made it this far, thank you for taking time out of your day to read my thoughts. Without you, none of this would exist, so thank you.
