Move your mind with the GEL-KAYANO™ 31 shoe.
The GEL-KAYANO™ 31 focuses on delivering holistic, adaptive stability with premium comfort underfoot. It is ideal for runners looking for a combination of moderate support and high-cushioning during their run. 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ is found in the midsole.
This new technology helps to steady your stride on your run. PureGEL™ technology improves softness and shock absorption to reduce the impact on your joints and keep you running comfortably. FF BLAST™ PLUS foam delivers softer landing and energised cushioning to keep you feeling comfortable on harder surfaces.
The new technical engineered upper material provides comfort and a stable fit.
What is the 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ ?
Developed at the ASICS Institute of Sport Science (ISS) in Japan, there are four key elements that work together to support your run.
- Midsole geometry and design features including a lateral decoupling groove
- Medial convex geometry
- A newly designed lateral guidance line
- The midfoot foam of FF BLAST™ PLUS that provides comfort for the fatiguing foot.
