Featuring an all-new design, the men's ASICS Gel Kayano 26 SPS uses high-quality materials to provide a softer, more comfortable running experience for the moderate to severe overpronator.
What's New
- Aggressive sculpting of rearfoot gel for better impact absorption
- New contoured sock liner for an improved underfoot feel
- Continuing to use ASICS' Dynamic Duomax Support System along with a trusstic system, and a sturdy heel counter, the Kayano 26 does a great job at reducing the inward rolling of the foot during ground contact. Additionally, the new multi-directional mesh upper is knit in a way that provides added support in key areas while reducing weight and enhancing breathability.
