A late-2000s silhouette from ASICS returns for the first time to position itself within a lineup of GEL-equipped legends.

We are now entering an era where some of the older members of the UP THERE crew distinctly remember the original release of a shoe that's being retro'd. As a group that's spent the good part of our lives as the 'young guys' it's somewhat distressing.

The GEL-DS Trainer 14 is one such example—a style which was on the shelves of the local sports store when we were in our early-20s. Now it's back in all its mid-2000s glory, looking as good as ever.
