Stability has never felt like this
The GEL-KAYANO is an ASICS legend that has been delighting runners for decades. The running shoe was developed in 1992 by designer Toshikazu Kayano to combine an unprecedented level of running feel, comfort, and safety in one shoe.
And successfully so, as the famous running shoe is already in its 31st edition. With the introduction of the groundbreaking 4D GUIDANCE and PureGEL technologies, its predecessor, the GEL-KAYANO 30, represented a true revolution, combining innovative stability with first-class comfort. In doing so, the shoe changed the perception of how a stability shoe can look and feel.
The new ASICS GEL-KAYANO 31 features several Kaizen-style improvements, meaning small changes with a big impact. With 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM and PureGEL technology, this shoe continues to offer extraordinary stability and cushioning, but features a significantly improved upper and provides an even smoother and more dynamic running feel.
The GEL-KAYANO 31 redefines how a stability shoe feels. The adaptive stability of the GEL-KAYANO 31 supports runners throughout their entire run and offers a new level of comfort and security. From uncertain to unstoppable.
Innovative Technologies for Even More Comfort and Stability
In addition to proven technologies like the 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM and the FF BLAST PLUS ECO midsole, the new GEL-KAYANO 31 features various innovations that support your run even better and make you feel almost like you're floating on clouds.
Adaptive Stability with the 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM
As with its predecessor, the GEL-KAYANO 31 also features the 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM. It was developed to enable a softer, smoother stride during training. Instead of supporting the feet and thus restricting their movement, the 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM works with the body's movement to provide the necessary stability exactly when and where it is most needed.
The system introduces 4 dimensions of stability:
Wider platform for additional stability
Full-length lateral midsole groove
The foot is deeply cradled on the platform
The soft and springy midfoot section ensures that the foot spends less time in overpronation
Lightweight and energetic cushioning materials in the GEL-KAYANO 31 provide responsive cushioning and a faster feel underfoot. Thanks to adaptive stability, deformation is reduced, as is the time the foot spends in the pronation phase. Thus, the stress on the entire musculoskeletal system is reduced. Additionally, various adaptive stability features support your run when your legs get tired. This makes even long and increasingly longer distances easy to master.
With the proven FF BLAST PLUS ECO midsole, the new GEL-KAYANO features one of the lightest and most energetic midsole foams, which boasts cloud-like softness and also has a 24% bio-based content. This way, you not only protect your joints and bones, but also the environment.
Adaptive stability and softer cushioning than ever before. Stability has never felt like this.
