SNEAKERLAH x GEL-KAYANO 20
Color
Pearl Pink/Papaya
The ASICS GEL-KAYANOÂź 20 âICE KACANGâ reimagines the beloved Malaysian dessert piece by piece. The upper comes predominantly in white, nodding to the mountain of shaved ice at the heart of the dessert, layered with rose pink panelling for the rose syrup and yellow accents for the sweet corn (jagung) topping. Its FLUIDFITâą cage, a criss-cross TPU application across the upper, is designed after the drizzle of evaporated milk. The dual GELÂź technology inserts in the midsole take on a green hue in reference to the cendol found in the dessert, while the GUIDANCE TRUSSTICÂź support system on the outsole is finished in black to represent the grass jelly. Red bean detailing runs through the lace eyelets and toebox. Rounding out the silhouette is an outdoor-style lace lock system, a nod to the rugged, trail-ready hardware found on outdoor footwear and a first for the collaboration series.
Bryan Chin, Founder of SneakerLAH, shared the thinking behind the release: âWeâve been championing Malaysian storytelling through all our past collabs, and this is no exception. In 2019, we celebrated Nasi Lemak, our national dish. 2020 brought KLCC, our landmark building and the world's tallest twin towers. 2022 was Teh Tarik, our iconic national drink, followed by MAMEE Monster in 2024 â my personal favourite snack growing up. Now in 2026, weâre back with Ice Kacang, one of my favourite local desserts."
