Description
The ASICS® GEL® Kayano 25 OBI shoes are a brand new creation taking the world-renowned GEL® Kayano technologies and blending them with a modern, stylish upper design. This redesigned knit upper was inspired by the belt of a kimono, featuring a unique seamless, knit construction made from minimal materials and a Mono-Sock® Technology fit system that replaces a traditional tongue for a sock-like fit. FlyteFoam® midsole technology continues to provide a long-lasting, responsive underfoot cushioning right out of the box. With their distinctive style, these shoes are perfect for the street, the studio or gym. Upper: Features a seamless knit upper material with a design inspired by a kimono. Heel Clutching System™ exoskeletal heel counter provides improved support and creates improved heel fitting environment. Mono-sock® Technology Fit System features an elastic internal sleeve which replaces a traditional tongue providing a “sock-like” fit. Midsole: FluidRide™ provides the ultimate combination of bounce back and cushioning properties with reduced weight and exceptional durability. Impact Guidance System (I.G.S®) employs linked componentry to enhance the foots natural gait from heel strike to toe-off. Rearfoot GEL® Cushioning Systems attenuate shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement on multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle. FlyteFoam® Midsole technology is lightweight and provides long lasting, responsive cushioning. Outsole: Guidance Line® vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency. AHAR® (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) placed in critical areas of the outsole offers exceptional durability and traction.
