For lasting stability: GEL-KAYANO® 33 

If they're looking for steady support and a cushioned feel, the GEL-KAYANO® 33 shoe is a go-to choice. It delivers the most stability in our running shoe lineup thanks to FLUIDSUPPORT™ technology, which helps provide smooth guidance from landing through toe-off.

For the runner who prioritizes a plush feel, the GEL-NIMBUS® 28 shoe is designed to provide soft landings and premium comfort for long-distance runs. FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning and PureGEL™ technology work together to help deliver soft landings, smooth transitions, and a cloudlike feel underfoot.

For the great outdoors (or indoors): GEL-VENTURE® 11 

The GEL-VENTURE® 11 shoe combines comfort technology with rugged styling for door-to-trail comfort. AMPLIFOAM™ PLUS cushioning helps provide soft landings and impact absorption while a no-sew upper delivers a secure, comfortable fit from the sidewalk to the hiking path. 

Kids' shoes

From walking to class to after-school practice, kids are always on the move. Help them enjoy every step with shoes made to keep up with their day.  

For energetic play: NOVABLAST® 6 GRADE SCHOOL 

The NOVABLAST® 6 GRADE SCHOOL shoe blends the energy and styling of the NOVABLAST® series with a kid-specific design that supports smaller strides. The taller stack height, midsole trampoline pod, and AMPLIFOAM™ PLUS cushioning help deliver responsive bounce and lasting comfort underfoot. 

For daily motion: CONTEND™ 10 GRADE SCHOOL

For little feet: PRE VENTURE™ 11 PRE-SCHOOL 

For pre-school kids finding their stride, the PRE VENTURE™ 11 PRE-SCHOOL shoe offers comfortable support for active days with a hook-and-loop closure that's easy to slip on and off. 

For archive-inspired style: GEL-1130™ GRADE SCHOOL 

The GEL-1130™ GRADE SCHOOL shoe remixes a classic running shoe style with comfort for everyday wear. Inspired by the GEL-1000™ series from the late-2000s, it preserves the original TRUSSTIC® system for a stable, supported feel wherever their day takes them. 

Sportstyle shoes

Rooted in decades of ASICS sports heritage, these unisex Sportstyle sneakers bring comfort, character, and unique style to everyday wear. 

For heritage style: SKYHAND™ OG 

The SKYHAND™ OG shoe brings back a classic ASICS handball silhouette with a low-profile shape that pairs easily with jeans or joggers. Soft suede paneling and a gum rubber outsole honor the original design, while an EVA heel wedge and an updated sockliner add everyday comfort.  

For running-inspired comfort: GEL-CUMULUS® 16 

The GEL-CUMULUS® 16 shoe brings a well-loved running silhouette into your everyday rotation. GEL® technology is designed to help absorb impact, while a layered mesh upper combines throwback styling with a lightweight, breathable feel. 

For city style: GEL-1130™ 

If they love a retro running look, the GEL-1130™ shoe draws on ASICS running design from the late 2000s. GEL® technology cushioning in the heel helps soften each step, and the TRUSSTIC® system adds a stable, supported feel for city walks and busy days. 

Stocking stuffers 

Sometimes, a little gift can still go a long way. If you're looking for an ASICS stocking stuffer, the WINTER MOUNTAIN CREW SOCK pairs a festive design with warm, lasting comfort for winter walks. For younger movers, the YOUTH INVASION NO SHOW SOCK is a practical finishing touch available in neutral shades or bright, expressive colors. 

For cold-weather coverage, the ESSENTIAL CAP is a versatile staple for daily wear, and the KNIT CAP adds cozy warmth when temperatures drop. The PERFORMANCE HEAD BAND helps keep hair and sweat managed during workouts and active commutes.
