The Asics Gel Kayano sneakers, proudly bearing their designer's name, were first worn by sneakerheads in 1993. Back then, the silhouette that significantly defined the future success of Asics was marketed as a running shoe designed for overcoming long distances. We have accumulated a few subsidiary models over the past decades, the cushioning technology has been improved, and the overall appearance was modified so that even the most demanding customers would stay interested. There are various types of the Asics Gel Kayano sneakers in different colorways in our selection, so check them out.
Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.
Syntetika: The synthetic upper is made of synthetic materials that are lightweight, durable and easy to clean. It provides good protection against moisture and at the same time allows for a comfortable wearing experience.
ORTHOLITE™ X-30: This innovative insole features a unique open-cell foam technology that provides a combination of breathability, moisture wicking and antimicrobial functionality to provide a cooler, drier and healthier environment in your footwear. With a commitment to sustainability, ORTHOLITE™ X-30 contains 30% recycled material.
GEL™: A cushioning gel that provides comfort, reduces the impact on the heel and protects against otherwise unnecessary injuries.
FF BLAST™ PLUS: Asics' FF BLAST™ PLUS foam technology represents a significant advance in midsole cushioning. This foam is lighter than standard FF BLAST™ and offers up to 15% better cushioning, meaning it absorbs more energy on impact and returns more energy with every step.
PureGEL™: This new material is 65% softer and offers a 4% higher energy return compared to the previous GEL™ technology. PureGEL™ provides smoother transitions and softer impacts, making it ideal for runners looking for better cushioning and rebound in their shoes.
4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™: The technology is designed to dynamically stabilise the foot during running and adapt to individual running styles. This innovative structure improves the fluidity of movement and helps prevent injuries by optimizing the distribution of load with each step.
ASICSGRIP™: This technology features specially designed lugs with a distinctive pattern that improve traction, making it ideal for trail running and other outdoor activities. The unique outsole design provides stability and reduces the risk of slipping, even on wet or muddy surfaces.
AHARPLUS™: AHARPLUS technology stands for ASICS High Abrasion Rubber Plus and is designed to provide exceptional durability and grip. This material is three times more abrasion resistant compared to conventional rubber, thanks to the incorporation of rubber used in car tires. This makes shoes with AHARPLUS™ material ideal for long term use as it retains its functionality and grip over time.
“In a healthy body, a healthy mind.” This ancient Latin saying is the inspiration behind the name Asics, which is an acronym for the phrase. The brand’s origins trace back to its founder, Kihachiro Onitsuka, whose first sneakers were branded with the Onitsuka Tiger logo, paying homage to his legacy.
For a long time, Asics was known exclusively for its high-performance running shoes. However, the full potential of Japanese design became clear toward the end of the last decade, when models like the Asics Gel-Kayano 5 caught the attention of the streetwear world. Alongside the Gel-Kinsei silhouette, these models helped the brand establish its place in the fashion spotlight, now aiming for top-tier status.
Asics Gel Cushioning Technology
With the rise of lifestyle sneakers and streetwear, many Asics models have evolved into versatile footwear for everyday wear. Asics is now recognized not only for performance but also as a fashion statement, thanks to its iconic Japanese design and the comfort of Gel cushioning technology a gel capsule that provides exceptional impact absorption and bounce.
Asics’ growing presence in streetwear was further solidified with the collaboration with Sean Wotherspoon on the Gel-Lyte 3. This legendary model, along with other popular silhouettes like the Gel-Nandi and Gel-Lyte, is available at Footshop in both men’s and women’s sizes. Whether you’re an athlete kicking off your day with a run or someone who appreciates unique designs and timeless style, Asics sneakers should be in your collection. Explore our selection today!
