The latest edition in the award-winning GEL-KAYANO series reinforces its lead in the structured cushioning category.
The GEL-KAYANO 19 is significantly lighter while maintaining its famous blend of cushioning and support that's perfect for mild to moderate overpronators.
An exciting new technology is the Guidance Trusstic, designed to work with the Guidance Line along the outsole. Together they encourage a more efficient gait while lending support to the midfoot.
The Clutch Counter creates a snug, supportive and dynamic fit around your heel. It also gives a bit more stability on the inside of your foot to compensate for overpronation.
The lightweight Hotmelt upper, with less stitches and less potential for irritation, providesimproved comfort.
The GEL-KAYANO 19 is ideal for long training runs, offering both the support and comfort you need.
Technologies:
3M Reflectivity
Special reflective material which enhances visibility in poor light. 3m Scotchlite is a registered trademark of the 3M Company.
Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL
Attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.
Guidance Line
Guidance Line places a visible groove in the mid and outsole that follows the foot's center of pressure from heel to toe. The result is a more adaptive running platform, creating a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with each stride. The Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.
Biomorphic Fit Upper
Stretchy material strategically placed on the upper which reduces bunching when the shoe moves reducing the risk of blisters and irritation.
I.G.S. (Impact Guidance System)
The Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.) is an ASICS design philosophy. It aims to make shoe components from rear to midfoot and forefoot to work together effectively to allow the body to perform in a natural manner. ASICS designers strive to compliment, not correct, how the legs and feet move.
Solyte Midsole Material
Spongy layer between the sole and upper designed to absorb shock and cushion the foot. Solyte is a lighter material than SpEVA and EVA and features enhanced durability.
DuraSponge
DuraSponge is a blown AHAR compound for enhanced cushioning and durability in the forefoot. ASICS High Abrasion Resistance Rubber (AHAR) is a tough compound used at the heavy contact area of the outsole.
ComforDry sockliner
Insole placed inside the shoe which provides cushioning keeping the foot drier and cooler.
AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Resistant rubber)
Tough material placed in critical areas of heavy contact on the shoe for exceptional durability.
Biomorphic Cut
Biomorphic Cut is a cutting and seaming process for fabrics based on extensive research on how the body moves. It allows for maximum freedom of movement.
