Year in and year out, we find ways to make this perennial favorite better and lighter. In its 18th year, the GEL-Kayano features a new external Heel Clutching System and stretch mesh Biomorphic Fit Upper for improved comfort, while the new Dynamic DuoMax Support System and lightweight AHAR outsole ensure a lightweight, stable ride.

• Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.)
  ASICS design philosophy that employs linked componentry to enhance the foot’s natural gait from heel strike to toe-off.
• Guidance Line
  Vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency.
• Biomorphic Fit Upper
  Stretch material strategically placed on the upper helps to reduce buckling and the potential for irritation.
• Heel Clutching System
  Exoskeletal heel counter provides improved support and creates improved heel fitting environment.
• Dynamic DuoMax
  This evolution of the DuoMax System enhances stability and support, with reduced weight and increased platform comfort.
