Safety yellow is hard to miss, but the real craftsmanship here lies in the gradient that fades from the toe all the way to pure white. UP THERE's latest collaboration with ASICS on the GEL-KAYANO 20 "Safety Yellow" doesn't just slap the bright hue on as a gimmick — instead, it lets the color slowly recede, running across the synthetic leather upper and continuing down into the dual-layer midsole.
Australia-based UP THERE has described this colorway as a nod to the local affinity for high-visibility footwear. The upper borrows the two-tone mesh from the GEL-KINSEI 4, layering texture and depth, while reflective details hidden in the shadows keep the silhouette visible after dark. The translucent GEL™ cushioning and icy, see-through outsole add another visual highlight, blending technical function with design flair in a single frame.
Branding stays understated — UP THERE limits its signature green to the lace tips, insole, and GUIDANCE LINE, a subtle nod rather than a loud statement. Structurally, the TRUSSTIC™ stability shank remains intact, proving that beneath the fashionable new coat of paint, this is still very much the support-focused GEL-KAYANO 20 at its core.
Release date and pricing have yet to be announced.
