What's New

Aggressive sculpting of rearfoot gel for better impact absorption
New contoured sock liner for an improved underfoot feel
Continuing to use ASICS' Dynamic Duomax Support System along with a trusstic system, and a sturdy heel counter, the Kayano 26 does a great job at reducing the inward rolling of the foot during ground contact. Additionally, the new multi-directional mesh upper is knit in a way that provides added support in key areas while reducing weight and enhancing breathability.
