ASICS Gel Kayano 25

With the launch of the new ASICS Gel Kayano 25 comes the revolution. If this best-selling model of the Japanese brand stood out for something era for being a mythical running shoefor the overpronator runner, who needs to correct that overpronation in each step, the designers of ASICS Running have waited for the launch of this special edition to give a total twist, and turn the Gel Kayano 25 into a model oriented to the neutral runner and / or mild overpronator runner, instead of the overpronator runner.

The new Asics Gel Kayano 25 is now a model oriented to the neutral runner and/or moderate pronator runner.

Welcome to the change in trend, and to ASICS ' commitment to adapt the legendary Gel Kayano to a wide range of runners. Although still offering the concept of stability, from now on, and with the ASICS Gel Kayano 25, the neutral runner will also be able to enjoy this iconic running shoe.

ASICS Gel Kayano 25, key features

Unlike the previous version of the ASICS Gel Kayano 24, these innovative Gel Kayano 25 shoes have ditched the Dynamic Doumax system, the plate that is focused on helping to correct the pronator runner's stride; and now, the bet is to include only the Duomax plate .

This change means that the ASICS Gel Kayano 25 is not specific to moderate or severe pronator runners, but rather a renewed model, whose target audience will be both neutral runners and mild pronator runners, who are looking to face long distances with the best performance.

In addition, it should be noted that the unique Duomax insert is not something new to ASICS Running, as this system is also included in the ASICS MetaRun premium running shoe.

Technologies used in the ASICS Gel Kayano 25

The FlyteFoam Lyte and FlyteFoam Propel play an important role in the new technologies used in the ASICS Gel Kayano 25, because this successful combination of materials offers protection and lightness, at the same time as it favors a better impulse for any type of distance, without reducing stability and comfort.

FlyteFoam Lyte

It is the evolution of the innovative FlyteFoam foam, and ASICS Running points out that this new compound is up to 30% lighter and up to 10% more resistant to offer greater durability.

It should also be noted that this foam is also more environmentally friendly, as it incorporates cellulose nano-fibers that come from sugar cane waste.

FlyteFoam Propel

It is also a step ahead of FlyteFoam foam, but innovative in terms of providing maximum energy return with every stride you take.

The best thing about this FlyteFoam Propel material is that it is the most reactive Foam foam on the market, and all this included in a really light weight of the shoe.

Jacquard upper

The upper of the ASICS Gel Kayano 25 has also been revamped with an innovative double Jacquard mesh, which allows for increased breathability and a superior fit. But this upper also contributes to improving the flexibility of the model, while minimizing the risk of blisters, because folds and wrinkles are avoided in the most strategic points of the shoe's flexion. As a result, comfort is significantly increased.

ASICS Gel Kayano 25 vs ASICS Gel Nimbus 20

Going back to the significant course variation in the Gel Kayano 25, it is not that they are in direct competition with another saga as legendary as the ASICS Gel Nimbus, even though the concept modification positions the latest interaction of the Gel Kayano 25 as a running shoe for neutral runners.

So, organizing criteria and idea, the ASICS Gel Nimbus 20 will continue with its label of being the top of the range model in cushioning for the purely neutral runner, while the ASICS Gel Kayano 25 is positioned as an intermediate model for the neutral runner, but also for that profile of runner who as the kilometers go by have a tendency to pronate.

Now what does ASICS have for the pronator runner?

And if the legendary Gel Kayano 25 is no longer a specific model for the overpronator, what does ASICS have for this profile of runner? The GT-3000, GT-2000, GT-1000 and Foundation family will be the Japanese company's bets to offer the stability and support that the overpronator runner needs to keep adding kilometers and more kilometers on the asphalt.

Regarding the technical specifications, what does not vary in the ASICS Gel Kayano 25 with respect to its previous edition is the drop of this training shoe for long distances, since it is still 10 millimeters (Heel 22mm-forefoot 12mm) in the male version, while in the female model the drop has a measure of 13 millimeters.
