No Comment

After its predecessor won the Runner’s World Shoe of the Year Award 2009, the GEL-KAYANO 16 continues to live up to its reputation as the top structured cushioning shoe on the market. The shoe's blend of cushioning and support is perfect for the mild to moderate over-pronator. This edition introduces Guidance Line, a groove along the outsole which encourages a more efficient gait – even when fatigue sets in. The innovative Asymmetrical Lacing Design and discrete eyelet improve upper fit and reduce the potential for irritation. The GEL-KAYANO 16 is ideal for long training runs, providing both the support and comfort runners need.

Technologies

Asymmetric Lacing System

The Asymmetric Lacing System follows the curve on top of the foot in a natural way, to ensure a perfect fit and less friction.

Guidance Line

Guidance Line places a visible groove in the mid and outsole that follows the foot's center of pressure from heel to toe. The result is a more adaptive running platform, creating a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with each stride. Automatic Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.

AHAR

ASICS High Abrasion Resistance Rubber (AHAR) is a tough compound used at the heavy contact area of the outsole, for example the heel. It helps to reduce excessive wear.

Biomorphic Fit

Biomorphic Fit technology allows the upper of the shoe to move in harmony with the foot, giving more comfort while in motion. This fit means the shoe material does not bunch, reducing the risk of blisters or irritation.

ComforDry Sockliner

The ComforDry Sockliner provides the optimum cushioning performance that creates a cooler, drier and healthier shoe environment.

DuoMax

DuoMax is an ASICS proprietary system consisting of two or more different density midsole materials, designed to help correct the degree and velocity of pronation.

I.G.S.

The Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.) is an ASICS design philosophy. It aims to make shoe components from rear to midfoot and forefoot to work together effectively to allow the body to perform in a natural manner. ASICS designers strive to compliment, not correct, how the legs and feet move.

Solyte

Solyte is a proprietary cushioning material that provides an exceptionally lightweight midsole with excellent bounce-back and durability.

Asymmetric Lacing System

The Asymmetric Lacing System follows the curve on top of the foot in a natural way, to ensure a perfect fit and less friction.

Forefoot GEL

ASICS GEL is a silicone-based cushioning system designed to meet the needs of both professional and recreational athletes. Forefoot GEL reduces the loading forces as the foot moves into propulsion, improving performance and minimising the risk of injury.

Rearfoot GEL

ASICS GEL is a silicone-based cushioning system designed to meet the needs of both professional and recreational athletes. Rearfoot GEL provides cushioning in all directions, absorbs impact forces and helps to stabilise the foot during heel contact.

Gender Specific Space Trusstic

The Gender Specific Space Trusstic System provides the female foot with the right levels of support and flexibility as it moves through the gait cycle. It achieves this through a strategically placed pocket of space between the Trusstic device and the layer of midsole under the foot arch. As the foot moves through the complex motions of running, it makes use of the principle of the windlass mechanism. With every propulsion, the foot acts as a rigid lever, tightening the plantar fascia and heightening the foot arch. The Space Trusstic System works with this natural movement of the foot. As the plantar fascia tightens and presses downward, it can press freely against the midsole which can bend into the space pocket. The hard plastic Trusstic device maintains support while allowing the foot to move efficiently. The result is greater comfort and a more efficient foot function during running. The Gender Specific Space Trusstic uses a thinner, more flexible midsole than the male version, so that the female foot can flex it sufficiently and take full advantage of the system.
