The Best ASICS Gel-Kahana TR Colourways: Our 7 Picks

The ASICS Gel-Kahana TR is a trail-inspired line built for both outdoor use and everyday wear, running from the dual-lace TR V2 to the cord-laced TR V4 and the newer TR Nexus. Our number one pick is the Gel-Kahana TR V2 'Meteorite Black', the family's signature details in black with silver accents.

The ASICS Gel-Kahana TR V2 'Meteorite Black' leads a run of Kahana TR pairs live now in the ASICS range at PUSHAS, and every pair is authenticated by hand before it ships.

The Gel-Kahana TR, explained

The Kahana TR takes the look of a trail runner and builds it for mixed ground, from city pavements to gravel paths. Each version shares that aim but solves the upper in its own way, and that is where the differences between versions sit.

The TR V2 is the most technical to look at. It uses two lacing systems: the main laces run through metal eyelets and lock onto metal hooks, while a second system wraps the shoe from toe to heel and holds with an adjustable clasp. The upper is layered mesh and rubberised ripstop. In August 2023 ASICS released the V2 Moon Pack, reported as a China exclusive: a light and a dark colourway sold in space-style foil packaging.

The TR V4 debuted in China in 2024. It swaps the hook-and-clasp setup for a cord lacing system and keeps GEL cushioning underfoot.

The TR Nexus surfaced in 2025 as a hybrid of trail and lifestyle. Its 'Brown' release paired breathable mesh with suede overlays for depth, sat on GEL cushioning and a traction outsole, and carried the ASICS stripes on the side.

How we ranked them

These are our picks, judged on four things: the design and colour blocking, the materials, the story behind the pair, and how easily it wears day to day.

1. ASICS Gel-Kahana TR V2 'Meteorite Black'

Meteorite Black sets the V2's layered upper in black with silver accents, so the lace hooks, toe-to-heel wrap and clasp stand out.

Add it to black cargos, grey technical trousers or wide-leg denim. The layered upper keeps enough detail to look deliberate with a plain outfit. Shop the ASICS Gel-Kahana TR V2 'Meteorite Black'.

2. ASICS Gel-Kahana TR Nexus 'Cream Silver'

The Nexus is a 2025 addition to the family. A cream base with silver detailing gives it a soft, light look. It is the lightest-looking pair on this list and pairs easily with neutrals. Shop the ASICS Gel-Kahana TR Nexus 'Cream Silver'.

3. ASICS Gel-Kahana TR Nexus x Monday Sleeping Club 'White / Green'

The one collaboration in our picks. The Monday Sleeping Club pair takes the Nexus into a white and green colourway, a crisp base with a green accent that sits well against summer tones. See the ASICS Gel-Kahana TR Nexus x Monday Sleeping Club 'White / Green'.

4. ASICS Gel-Kahana TR V4 'Ocean Green'

The TR V4 debuted in China in 2024 and changed the lacing story: a cord system replaces the V2's hook-and-clasp setup, with GEL cushioning underfoot. Ocean Green puts that build in a deep sea-green tone, the boldest standard colour on this list. In 2024 Chinese streetwear label TroubleSmile gave the V4 flame graphics and silver overlays for a 16 August 2024 release at the ASICS Chengdu store; Ocean Green is a plainer take on the same build. Explore the ASICS Gel-Kahana TR V4 'Ocean Green'.

5. ASICS Gel-Kahana TR Nexus 'Black / Royal Blue'

Black / Royal Blue keeps the Nexus grounded in a dark base, then adds royal blue. It suits anyone who wants a black shoe with some colour. View the ASICS Gel-Kahana TR Nexus 'Black / Royal Blue'.

6. ASICS Kahana TR V2 'Black Silver'

The Black Silver pair sets the V2's layered upper in black with silver details, a slightly brighter take on the same dual-lace build than the hero. Shop the ASICS Kahana TR V2 'Black Silver'.

7. ASICS Gel-Kahana TR Nexus 'Green Grey'

Green Grey is the Nexus in its most outdoor palette, a grey base with green accents. It pairs with earth tones and technical fabrics. See the ASICS Gel-Kahana TR Nexus 'Green Grey'.
