ASICS Launches the GEL-KAYANO™ 32: A New Era of Comfort, Support, and Stability

ASICS is proud to introduce the GEL-KAYANO™ 32, the latest generation in its renowned stability running shoe series. With a legacy built on performance, innovation, and support, this newest model has been reengineered to deliver maximum comfort, adaptive guidance, and a smoother running experience—all designed to help runners go further and feel better as they move their bodies and minds.

A Legacy of Stability, Reimagined

The GEL-KAYANO™ series has long been a favorite among runners seeking a shoe that offers reliable support and premium cushioning. With the GEL-KAYANO™ 32, ASICS continues to refine that legacy, introducing significant enhancements that make this the most comfortable and technically advanced version yet.

Key Features & Innovations

  • 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™
    Developed through advanced biomechanical research, this breakthrough technology provides dynamic stability that adapts to your unique stride. It works in harmony with your body to guide your foot through a more efficient and balanced gait.

  • FF BLAST™ PLUS Cushioning
    This lightweight and responsive foam offers a plush, energetic ride—delivering soft landings without compromising rebound.

  • 2mm of Added Forefoot Cushioning
    More foam means more comfort, especially over longer distances. The extra cushioning under the forefoot creates a softer, more forgiving stride.

  • PureGEL™ Technology
    Integrated for superior shock absorption and smooth transitions, PureGEL™ enhances the ride while helping to reduce impact on joints.

  • Redesigned Engineered Mesh Upper
    The updated upper provides a breathable, flexible, and supportive fit, with a softer feel for enhanced comfort throughout your run.

  • Stable Tongue Wing Construction
    A newly engineered tongue design offers improved midfoot support, adjusting to the individual arch shape of each runner for a more personalized fit.

  • HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ Outsole
    Combining enhanced traction and durability, this outsole technology offers a secure grip across varied running surfaces while reinforcing the shoe’s stability.

Lighter, Softer, and Smarter Than Ever

Thanks to a refined midsole design and lighter foam compound, the GEL-KAYANO™ 32 is even lighter than its predecessor—without sacrificing the support or structure that the series is known for.

Designed for Every Runner

Whether you’re training for a marathon, building weekly mileage, or simply running to clear your mind, the GEL-KAYANO™ 32 adapts to your needs. It supports every stride with targeted comfort, reliable guidance, and the kind of thoughtful craftsmanship that ASICS is known for.
