I used to sell the 21 series and Kayanos at a running specialty store back in the 2010’s 🙌🏻 the 21 series were classified as the mid support shoes, higher density foam under the arch on the inside of sole to help correct pronation. The kayano was the high end support and cushion. Adding more gel throughout the sole and also more of the higher density foam under the arch for the flatter and more aggressive pronators. Hope this helped!! Also the 21 series became the 2000s after the 2190s… if I remember correctly
Thank God I found this comment. Got my first pair of 2160’s and went up half size. Found a pair of 1130’s for retail but TTS and I was hoping I made the right choice💪🏼🫡
It's amazing how ASICS has taken off with their sports style Y2K shoes. They have become genuinely trendy. You should do a video on the ASICS sub brand Onitsuka Tiger 🐯
I never bought with asics until last week! I tried 1130 vanilla and immediately fall in love. Straight to home with my new 1130 and kayano 14 is en route. You must try these asics in person and it really based on your outift. It would less appealing in a slimmer/skinnier outfit but if you are a more baggy type of person the shoes will fit your style perfectly! As for the comfort, I prefer 1130 than kayano 14. Kayano 14 sizing seems bigger to me as I use 10,5 in 1130 and use 10 in kayano 14.
what about insole .is it soft enough ? I have been suffering sole pain for 3 weeks and ı am in dillemma now gt2160 ,gel1130 or gel nyc . wdy think about that
I think the Gel Kayano 14s have the most diverse collaborations among the three and I feel like that has a lot to do with its success aside from it being a comfortable shoe. One of the notable collabs that I have came across with (and own) are the Atmos X UnderMyCar Presents as well as the Unaffected collabs. The GT 2160s, however, feel like a hit-or-miss sometimes because of the choice of materials, but the Wood Wood, Above the Clouds, and the Imperfection pack are really nice.
i just tried and got the 1130 today, also to replace my asics gl-runmiles T48PQ that i used for so long for walking while visiting cities and trail in summer time (they dd'nt budge for all these years ! asics is an amzing brand). the gel 1130 are in fact he most breathable of all three models, and very light on the foot! I hop the gel technology will be sufficient for me in term of support ...
Nice job! Can you suggest Asics gt 2160 over NB 1906R by the way I am currently wearing NB 2002R daily and looking for another pair of those vibe of y2k
My partner just gifted me a pair of the gel-NYCs and they are so comfortable. The gel-NYCs are definitely my favorite out of the group, they’re not squishy or anything but they have that reliable type of comfort that you just know you can rock all day and you’ll be good. Great video hes!
Comfort is objective, I don’t like squishy soft shoes so gel-nyc are fine for me 👍🏼 I haven’t tried Kayano-14 yet but if I come across a colorway that moves me I’m sure I will
Gel-NYC's are amazing. I have 4 pairs lol my favorite Asics model for sure and I think you'd really like them. Plush under foot but not too plush. Comparable to an NB 2002r or 1906r IMO. Definitely grab a pair of those!
Which ASICS superseded the GT-2090? (early 2Ks)? Oddly, I still have them and only have used them for the treadmill. I need an updated shoe for the track as the 2090 model.
I have all four, and gotta say although I probably wear the NYC the most, it's not as comfy as any of those three, in my personal opinion, and just doesn't have the same feeling of premium materials, although I think they are a very practical/daily wearable shoe.
@@younggotti8195 Agreed. Personally, I think the 1130 is probably the comfiest shoe ASICS make, I would say loosely speaking that it's their equivalent to NB's 990V3, both those shoes are absolute home-runs.
I got some black and white Asics and it just says gel and they are wonderful got em at academy for 80 because the store was doing a 15 dollar off the original price so I scooped em up
So are all of these stability shoes?? I supinate and obviously a stability shoe is designed for someone who pronates so it will push me further out. I know the 1130 and new kayanos are
Asics NYC is sweet and you should review them! All their retro and retro style runners are doing great now I think it’s because they are built well and are comfortable with great looks for decent price too.
GT-2160 is easily the best looking out of this pack. The green hits the best on those. It’s the perfect amount of silver on the shoe as well. The Kayano-14s still look good but they have a lot going on.
I feel Asics has taken over from NB. As a Millennial who grew up during the 90’s and 2000’s, I actually didn’t have such shoes as back then it was seen as generic and ugly gym shoes. This was when skate and platform shoes was all the hype, and I had those. But as an adult they really appeal to me now. As I’m now comfort over looks. And personally I do like the silver accents as I wear mostly silver jewelry. My only issue is with their quality control and production, as I’ve had 3 different Asics pairs already this year, Asics Gel NYC, and Asics Gel Nimbus 9, and had to return all of them due to defects. And regardless of brand, I’ve found one commonality: they’re all made in VIETNAM. Not just Asics, but Nike, Adidas and NB, all the shoes I’ve had that had quality control issues or defects, especially uneven and wonky shoe lace holes, as the upper has been glued onto the shoe unevenly, or simply the shoe lace hole is off by so much that one can really tell when looking at it, and it’s not pretty, where all made in Vietnam. Also heavy glue smell and glue stains are very common. And no they are not fake, and even bought directly from the app or the brand’s own webpage. Compared to the other running/lifestyle trainers, Asics was the most comfortable for me personally, as too soft tends to hurt my feet. I even prefer flat shoes over bouncy foam anyway, like Nike and Adidas. What’s more disappointing is that Asics is a Japanese brand, and Japan is known for its perfectionism when it comes to production and quality.
Gel-NYC is my personal favorite comfort wise, with 1130 a close second. I feel too much pressure under the front of my foot with Kayano 14. still comfortable though.
Hes, I've been following you since you did the flyknit racer to ultraboost sole swap. It's time to drop Nike and Adidas, the reasons are as follows. 1. (nike) Retros are tired, saturated, Jordan is not comfortable and just played out. Time to grow up 2.(adidas) ultraboosts are saturated, they have gone the way of Jordans except in a very short amount of time. Sure, boost is comfortable, but does that really matter anymore? Does one need to feel squishyness all the time? 3. New Balance, lasted the test of time, quality, made in USA/UK models. 4. Asics, yes there is considerable hype, but why not let dads wear hyped dad shoes? Nike/Jordan/adidas are the past
Thanks for watching! Have a great day everyone!

I’ve got 5 pairs of the Gel-Kayano 14’s; by far the most comfortable sneakers I own.
YES…DO the Gel NYC too! I’ve been eyeing them for one exact while.. just haven’t pulled the trigger yet
Im getting mine a Kayano 14 soon! Hope its better than NYC from what I hear alot
NYC suck compared to Keyano14
I’ve owned all and I would say Kayano 14 toe box is small 1130 is the most tts and the most comfortable and my favorite. Can’t beat it for the price!
Thank God I found this comment. Got my first pair of 2160’s and went up half size. Found a pair of 1130’s for retail but TTS and I was hoping I made the right choice💪🏼🫡
I just got some green keyano 14s a few days ago and they’re my favorite shoe of the year ngl
Were they the light sage smoke greys?
@@BlurredLinez nah malachite green
All three. Literally they're all bangers.
Like that you are doing these comparison vids, great job! I have to go with the Kayano 14 and then NYC’s!

Gel-NYC and 2160 are my favorites followed by the Kayano 14.

Between the 1130 and the 14 which gives more height?
@@Southside9x9 kayano based on how it feels. but Im not really any different optic-wise

I think the 2160s look the best out of those 3

Which colorway is the 1130’s? Thanks 👟
I have the 14’s and the 1130’s and to me the 1130’s are more comfortable, but the 14’s feel like they have more stability. Love both of them though.
Loooove my Metallic Plum Kayanos! Im hoping the other colorways get restocked someday bc the resells have been going up.
It seems like everyone has the plum kayanos and I still haven’t seen anyone had a different color, they are all npc 😅😂
Good video! been looking for this
Brother, you’re always one step ahead of the other 👊🏼
I own all 3 models, as well as gel-nyc's... 1130's are my favorite.
No way
Nice job!
Can you suggest Asics gt 2160 over NB 1906R by the way I am currently wearing NB 2002R daily and looking for another pair of those vibe of y2k
regretting not getting the scarab 2160 😢 my ranking would be 14, 1130, 2160.
Definitely would like to see a gel nyc review and more on the Kayano 14!
The 1130s have a great atheistic love them definitely gives new balance a run in competition in that mesh runner
What color ways are thee for each sneaker??

Gel nyc aren’t comfortable
Gel Kayano 14 have more gel. More comfy.
Comfort is objective, I don’t like squishy soft shoes so gel-nyc are fine for me 👍🏼
I haven’t tried Kayano-14 yet but if I come across a colorway that moves me I’m sure I will
@@vanessaguerra8975 gel nyc of all the 4 are the worst in comfort . Between 1130 2160 kayano14 and nyc tbh they just feel weird. No support no gel
@@vanessaguerra8975 same here. The trend of super soft shoes is not for me. Feels so unnatural. I like Asics Gel Kayano 14 and NB 1906R.
what is the color way ?
Curious where the gel nyc fall on your list of most comfortable ASICS?
Gel-NYC's are amazing. I have 4 pairs lol my favorite Asics model for sure and I think you'd really like them. Plush under foot but not too plush. Comparable to an NB 2002r or 1906r IMO. Definitely grab a pair of those!
Gel Kayano 14 are more comfy.
If Asics had sizes, the Gel-Nimbus 9 is a good option as well.
I think Kayano 14 looks the best out of 3, resell prices aside.
What is the color way for the 1130’s?
Any idea for planned release in Europe?
Whats crazy is i just bought two pairs of 14s and i LOVE THEM.
Hello, do you have a number under the insole in your 1130?
Which ASICS superseded the GT-2090? (early 2Ks)? Oddly, I still have them and only have used them for the treadmill. I need an updated shoe for the track as the 2090 model.
What is the name of the colour?
Would love to see a review on the gel nyc!!
The NYC is the nicest looking model out of all of them, i've skipped all 3 of those for the better material and looks the NYC provides
I have all four, and gotta say although I probably wear the NYC the most, it's not as comfy as any of those three, in my personal opinion, and just doesn't have the same feeling of premium materials, although I think they are a very practical/daily wearable shoe.
NYC is not comfortable at all
@@CryptoRickyRich I don’t agree, they aren’t a super foam shoe but they are comfortable
@@younggotti8195 I tried both today gel KAYANO 15 and nyc and I thought it was too flat and no gel feeling but everyone’s different I guess

Gel kayono 14 it’s the best model
14 gorgeous

1130, 14, 2160. 1130 are definitely softer for me

Bro vietnam make the best shoes out of all the south east asian countries. They arent going to make them Italy at the price point you want them in.
What is the Name of the Colour?
Kith Scarab 2024 (They made some 2023 versions too)
Love my 1130, very comfortable shoes
Bout time he reviewed ASICS
Gel-NYC is my personal favorite comfort wise, with 1130 a close second. I feel too much pressure under the front of my foot with Kayano 14. still comfortable though.
I think unless you're sure to have narrow foot or you prefert9 havea verytightfitting, go half size up to your normal Nike size.
Anyone else have big toe pain on gel kayano 14?
No
GEL-NYC 2055 is a sleeper!
I'm loosing my insanity I have all 3 ASIC GEL SNEAKERS they are flames 🔥

My favourite ASICS is the gel venture 6. Pretty under the radar with some great colorways
In India you $50 for asics gel 1130
Just copped all 3 models 🤷🏽

1130 is the best, the kayano Looks like a banana on feet.
hii, have u tried skechers hyper burst slide, it is more comfort than alphabounce slide, maybe If I'm right you will give me something ahahahah jk
just so so ,under retail price you can try 1130.
Winner
Asics are very nice and comfortable. Much rather have these than the overpriced Balenciagas.
