The 19th version of the GEL-Kayano® series takes a "stop at never" approach by improving upon its award winning ride, comfort, and fit. ASICS' flagship Structured Cushioning model drops over a half ounce in weight, thanks to top-of-the-line features like Heel Clutching System™ and Dynamic DuoMax®. This legend's upper fit also receives special attention with strategically placed seamless overlay construction making the GEL-Kayano® 19 the best in its history.

• Heel Clutching System™
  Exoskeletal heel counter provides improved support and creates improved heel fitting environment.
• DuoMax® Support System
  A dual density midsole system positioned to enhance support and stability, positioned sport specifically.
• Discrete Eyelets
  Independently placed eyelets disburse lace tension, creating a customized fitting environment and enhanced upper comfort.
• Guidance Line®
  Vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency.
• Plus 3™
  3mm of additional height on women's models helps relieve achilles tension.

• Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.®)
  ASICS® design philosophy that employs linked componentry to enhance the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off.
• Biomorphic Fit ® Upper
  Stretch material strategically placed on the upper helps to reduce buckling and the potential for irritation.
• Trusstic System®
  Reduces the weight of the sole unit while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe.
• Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL® Cushioning Systems
  Attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.
