Asics Gel Kayano
The Asics Gel Kayano sneaker, named after its designer, was first put on the feet of sneakerheads in 1993. Since then, this iconic model - which has been a major contributor to the success of the Asics brand - has established itself on the market as a long-distance running shoe. The Asics Gel Kayano sneakers have fulfilled their original purpose with ease. Over the years, many variants have appeared, cushioning technology has been improved and the design has been modified to suit even the most demanding customers. You can see a wide range of Asics Gel Kayano models in different colorways right here!
Materials
Textile: is a lightweight material, which is offered in a very wide color scale and is mainly used for summer footwear.
Synthetics: unlike textile, synthetic fibers are stronger, more durable and quick-drying.
GEL™: Silicone gel technology in the midsole, developed in 1986. The gel inserts - located in both the heel and forefoot - effectively absorb shock, dissipate vibrations and ensure a smooth stride transition. The combination of GEL™ with foam layers promotes comfort, stability and natural movement.
AHAR+: (Asics High Abrasion Rubber Plus) is an advanced version of the high-resistance rubber that the ASICS brand uses on exposed parts of the sole. It is a carbon-infused compound that is strategically placed in the areas of greatest stress (especially on the heel). Compared to standard rubber, AHAR+ is 50% more abrasion resistant, which significantly extends the life of the shoe even for hard impact runners. Despite its extreme stiffness and durability, this compound is designed to be lighter than previous generations and provide excellent traction on road and paved trails.
FLUIDRIDE™: A midsole technology developed by ASICS that represents an evolution in running shoe construction. It is a two-layer structure that combines two different materials (usually SpEVA and Solyte). The high-density upper layer provides excellent cushioning and energy return on impact, while the lower, lighter layer absorbs impact shock on impact. This combination significantly reduces the overall weight of the shoe, increases its durability and provides a smooth (fluid) transition from heel to toe. The result is a comfortable underfoot feel that doesn't fatigue the feet even on long runs on hard surfaces.
Asics is a brand that is based on the idea of "In a healthy body, a healthy spirit." Its name is an abbreviation of an old Latin saying. The first Asics shoes were made in 1949 by Japanese entrepreneur Kihachiro Onitsuka. His goal was to create quality shoes for athletes that would help them perform better. He used the Onitsuka Tiger logo on his shoes, which symbolized speed and strength. The logo became known worldwide when Olympic medalists like Abebe Bikila and Derek Clayton wore it.
Nowadays, Asics also offers streetwear shoes that feature great design and comfort. For example, the Asics Gel-Kayano 5 and Asics Gel-Kinsei models are popular for their stylish looks and Asics Gel cushioning technology, which uses gel insoles for better comfort and cushioning.
Asics also collaborated with designer Sean Wotherspoon on the Asics Gel-Lyte 3, which is an iconic model in the streetwear scene. You can find this model and many others at Queens in both men's and women's versions.
