The 18th version of ASICS’ flagship Structured Cushioning model continues to offer top of the line technology while maintaining the classic ride and comfort that has made the series an icon.
New lacing design taken from Biomorphic upper principals. Follows the natural contours of the foot to provide improved fit & comfort during gait.
Moulds and customises itself to the individual heel shape of the wearer.
Radical upper technology involving flex points over areas of highest buckling for much improved fit, dramatically reduced loading and greater comfort, especially over bony prominences.
The ComforDry Sockliner is a unique dual layer cushioning system combining the support of base foam with the slow recovery of lazy foam, for a customised insole. Also contains antimicrobial properties for a cooler, drier and healthier foot environment.
ASICS new proprietary midsole material takes on a new role as a lasting technology, enhancing comfort by improved cushioning through the use of three different densities: 45 density for high cushion and flexibility.
ASICS new proprietary midsole material takes on a new role as a lasting technology, enhancing comfort by improved cushioning through the use of three different densities: 55 density for increased stiffness to boost the spring rate.
New proprietary midsole material, which is lighter than ASICS’ standard EVA and SpEVA, combined with improved cushioning and durability.
This Space Trusstic has been built differently for the men’s and women’s models. Findings from our Gender Study recognized that women have slightly different physiological dynamics to men. The space in the Trusstic is larger for women to allow for easier release of the midsole for when their plantar flexes during the ‘windlass mechanism’ stage of gait.
The Guidance Line is a physical separation of the midsole. This vertical flex groove decouples the tooling and helps reproduce consistent load transfer at propulsion. IGS Adaptive Technology at its best.
The ASICS GEL System is probably the most famous of all our innovations. To bring about the highest possible shock absorbing effect, the GEL-units are strategically placed in the midsole of the shoe. For the ASICS GEL cushioning system various materials are used. Depending on its function, the GEL-unit contains a siliconebased porous foam, a silicone GEL or a semi-solid silicone substance encapsulated in polyurethane. The shape of the units are also precisely designed to the specific function and position.
ASICS High Abrasion Rubber. Tough rubber compound used at the heavy-contact areas of the outersole. Helps cut down on excessive wear.
The new ASICS Space Trusstic system works with the complex functions of the foot to facilitate Windlass Mechanics.
The GEL-3000 series has rapidly become the industry’s favourite shoe for those who need more support, Particularly in the later stages of gait.
The GEL-DS Trainer 17 continues to meet the needs of runners looking for a supportive, yet lightweight trainer.
This has been our ‘go to’ shoe for many years, and is truly an icon in the ASICS running range. It can be summed up in one word – consistent. Offers a brilliant ‘ride’ for the runner who does long kilometres
Great for any activity you pursue, these ingenious tights are essentially a full leg muscle support system.
A popular piece in the Inner Muscle range, the Short Sleeve Top is a great choice for activities that require you to lift your arms above your shoulders

The 18th version of ASICS’ flagship Structured Cushioning model continues to offer top of the line technology while maintaining the classic ride and comfort that has made the series an icon. The Kayano 18 sees a new external heel clutch counter with the medial side reinforced and a new DuoMax, called “Dynamic DuoMax” with a softer layer on top for both men and women.
