ASICS Gel Kayano 28: more softness and stability in the tread

The Japanese company ASICS surprises us with the latest update of its flagship for pronation runners, the ASICS Gel Kayano 28 come onto the scene with significant new features that focus mainly on its midsole. At RUNNEA we have all the details!

This twenty-eighth edition pursues that ideology of achieving greater fluidity and smoothness in running and for this, the product developers of the emblematic ASICS company are committed to incorporating some of its most cutting-edge technologies. Without further ado, we enter into the detailed analysis of this running shoe for pronator runners.

Radical change in the midsole

A radical change in the midsole of this legendary Kayano line from ASICS Running, this latest model includes the new FF BLAST technology, a compound that replaces the FlyteFoam® technology present in the previous model; the ASICS Gel Kayano 27. It is a foam that favors lighter cushioning for a more responsive rebound. A compound already present in other successful models of the company as the ASICS Novablast that, in combination with the redesigned GEL technology, present in the heel and forefoot area, ensure excellent shock absorption in running.

The presence of FF BLAST technology in the successful Kayano line emphasises the feeling of softness and support that the Japanese company is so keen on. A foam that improves stability and responsiveness during the stride cycle, promoting greater fluidity in each stride. A running shoe for men and women that remains faithful to the essence of the successful Kayano line: to offer maximum comfort and protection on the most demanding runs.

Meanwhile, the DYNAMIC DUOMAX technology, a system that reduces pronation during running through greater control of foot rotation, and the TRUSSTIC technology, an application that affects stability, continue to be indisputable in this top of the range shoe, providing extra control of movements that pronator runners seek so much. It is important to note that this latest interaction also includes a redesigned external heel reinforcement for greater running stability.

Another of the great innovations from these Gel Kayano 28 is the 3D SPACE CONSTRUCTION. This is an advanced technology that improves compression in the stride. Not to mention, of course, the presence of the OrthoLite X sockliner that improves comfort for a more cushioned running experience.

More breathable upper

These Gel Kayano 28 stay true to the aesthetics that are so characteristic of the ASICS longest running saga. Few changes in terms of design but this 28th edition includes a new engineered mesh upper that emphasizes the feeling of breathability and running comfort.

Outsole

The outsole incorporates ASICS' company flagship compound, AHARPLUS rubber. A rubber that ensures excellent traction and durability and enjoys a more noticeable presence in the heel area.

It is important to note that this is a model optimised to complete a high volume of mileage on the road thought, mainly, for those runners looking to tackle distances longer than a half marathon.

ASICS Gel Kayano 28: a benchmark for overpronators

There are radical changes in the midsole of this top of the range cushioning for overpronators, the ASICS Gel Kayano 28. This latest interaction reflects the innovative character defended by the Japanese company and incorporates the latest technology with the aim of pursuing a more fluid, comfortable and stable stride. A model that continues to be an indisputable reference for runners of medium-high and high weights looking to complete long distances on road; from the half marathon and beyond.

In short, these Kayano 28 are now more stable and promote a more fluid stride without losing speed! A model that repeats one of the best running shoes for overpronators, no doubt about it. With a characteristic 10mm drop, this latest interaction has a weight of 308 grams in the men's version and 258 grams in the women's.
