GEL-KINSEI OG
A shoe that was eight years in the making, the GEL-KINSEIĀ OG sneaker that debuted in 2006 is making its awaited return from the ASICS archive with its authentic construction.
Uniting Japanese heritage and craftsmanship with modern mechanical design, this silhouette draws inspiration from a samuraiĀs armour Ā shielding the body, while enabling it to move freely.
The angled GELĀ technology cushioning unit in the heel references the shape of the samuraiĀs curvaceous katana sword to better attenuate the severity of shock upon heel strike. Presenting TRUSSTIC SYSTEMĀ technology under the soleĀs arch to improve stability, this feature also lessens the shoeĀs overall weight.
Resurrected with visible evolution and a contemporary design, the GEL-KINSEIĀ OG sneaker allows you to wear this shoe as a heritage icon that's still technical even by today's standards.
