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.
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.

Style over function (but so much style)// Size up!
They look like I reached into a time machine and pulled them out. They are about as athletic as wearing two loaves of bread on your feet, and when you bend your foot the stiff, thick upper chafes again your foot some. That said, comfy, and very stylish. For wearing around the neighborhood, or even pairing with an ultra-dressy outfit, they're perfect.
Warning: Size up! I'm normally a 10/10.5 and an 11 is a good fit for me/almost snug.

Perfect
Kayano 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 me
What 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

Really nice
It is well made and the look really stands out. I just wished the upper wasn't synthetic.
