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.
This is an injected and separate piece of Solyte that is in the forefoot of the midsole. The women’s piece is softer (48degree durometer measure) compared to the men’s (53degree). This allows the lighter frame of women to feel the cushioning available in the forefoot of the shoe.
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 aggressive running midsole/outsole allows for great cushioning in the heel with the noticeable podulated image and visible GEL unit, while the forefoot allows for great flexibility due to the 3 piece construction.
Great for any activity you pursue, these ingenious tights are essentially a full leg muscle support system.
The sleeveless top is a great option where arm lift and motion is paramount to your training

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. This new 2 layered process allows the shoe to be a lot lighter without compromising support and also allows for a better bonding, moulding process.
