Key technologies of the Gel-Kayano 32

FF BLAST PLUS: lighter cushioning foam

The FF BLAST PLUS technology used in the Gel-Kayano 32 delivers superior cushioning while reducing the overall weight of the shoe. This foam is made with 24% bio-based materials, making it more environmentally friendly. In addition, the midsole is raised by 2 mm, providing enhanced cushioning while keeping the shoe lightweight.

This lighter foam ensures exceptional comfort while running and helps reduce impact on the joints. Combined with its reduced weight, it allows you to maintain a dynamic stride during long or intense runs.

PureGEL: enhanced shock absorption

PureGEL is the gel technology used in the Gel-Kayano 32 for shock absorption. This gel is 65% softer than traditional visible GEL, allowing better impact management with every stride.

Shock absorption is essential to reduce muscle fatigue and prevent injuries. PureGEL delivers optimal cushioning, helping to reduce stress on your knees and joints, especially during long-distance runs.

4D Guidance System

The 4D Guidance System is designed to maintain optimal posture and alignment while running. It helps the foot adapt to your stride dynamics, ensuring a smoother run.

This technology improves pronation control and guides the foot through a more natural motion, reducing fatigue and muscular effort.

ASICS Hybrid Grip: maximum traction

The Hybrid ASICSGrip technology provides optimal grip on a variety of surfaces, whether dry or slightly wet. This hybrid outsole ensures enhanced traction and improved stability during your runs.

This improved grip allows you to run with confidence on different terrains, reducing the risk of slipping and delivering reliable traction, even in wet conditions.
