The GEL-KAYANO® 5 OG Retro Tokyo running shoe pays homage to the upcoming celebration in Tokyo, while commemorating the spirit of the ASICS heritage and our Japanese roots. This heritage running shoe from 1999 returns with its original construction. After an initial sketch on paper, designer Toshikazu Kayano was quick to point out that the upper mirrored the human anatomy's bone structuring, organs and muscles. In the era it debuted, this shoe introduced two improvements to the model’s lineage - the teardrop tongue and QUADRA lacing system. Working in unison with each other, these technologies create an improved fit with better midfoot support. The GEL-KAYANO® 5 OG Retro Tokyo running shoe is injected with a GEL® technology cushioning pocket in the heel for greater comfort, while the layered application of componentry has become the foundation that still influences the shoe's design today.
Pronation
Pronation is part of the natural movement of the human body and refers to the way your foot rolls inward for impact distribution upon landing. Understanding your pronation type can help you find a comfortable running shoe. The GEL-KAYANO 5 RETRO TOKYO is made for Neutral.

There is even distribution from the front of the foot.
How your foot contacts the ground
The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.

PerfectKayano comfort.
Tokyo style.
Dear Asics, never ever retire this shoe. Keep making in subtle, stylish colors.
Fit is perfect, the heel and arch support in the older Kayano is superior to what you can find today. I wish the gel 360 could have the same support.

its a drip for meWhat a cool shoe! the textured leather is rad and has a cool vintage distressed look. Its my first pair of Kayano 5's so i ordered a 1/2 size up, which turns out i didnt have to. so a true to size fit, even if you have a wide foot like myself. Extremely pleased!! copping another pair ASAP

Great shoe, from my favorite brand.Very, very comfy shoe. Go up half size though. The gel actually works it isn't just for looks, very functional... every time i walk its like the gel cushions my entire foot including my flat arches... great shoe. the tokyo version is dope.

My Old Friend ReturnsI’ve missed these since I wore them out decades ago. Now they’re back and my jeans can’t wait for Fall to pair up with them again.

Kayano 5 OG okThe kayano 5 og silhouette has been one of the most comfortable shoes I've owned from Asics, however the materials on these pairs weren't as good this time around. The cracked leather seemed cheap and the toe color was off putting. I expect a bit better for next release of the model
