ASICS has unveiled the GEL-KAYANO™ 31, the newest addition to its stability running shoe line. This model builds on the advancements of its predecessor, the GEL-KAYANO™ 30, by incorporating enhanced comfort features aimed at improving runners’ experiences.
The GEL-KAYANO™ 31 features an updated asymmetrical medial design upper for a supportive fit and improved comfort. The shoe’s mesh upper provides better ventilation, ensuring cooler feet over longer distances, while its refurbished outsole uses HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ rubber for increased traction and stability. The shoe also integrates PureGEL™ technology for improved shock absorption and smoother transitions.
The 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ is included to offer adaptive stability in alignment with the body’s movements. The GEL-KAYANO™ 31 also displays its CO2 emissions as 10.6kg per pair, reflecting ASICS’ commitment to transparency.
The GEL-KAYANO™ 31 will be available for both men and women starting August 20, 2024, at ASICS retail stores, online, and at specialist running outlets worldwide, priced at INR 15,999.
