Known for its unrivalled comfort and stability, the GEL-KAYANO has over 30 years of history, and the shoe keeps getting better each year.

In fact, ASICS just announced the arrival of the all-new GEL-KAYANO 31, which will be available for men and women at ASICS retail, online stores, and specialists running outlets in Malaysia from 13 June.

Junichiro Tateishi, General Manager of Product Function Research Department at ASICS, said, "We believe the GEL-KAYANO 31 shoe not only provides the stability the shoe is famous for, but also delivers a truly impressive level of comfort to help runners go further.

"The GEL-KAYANO is a legendary running shoe for a reason, and we're excited to see how fans of the series enjoy this added comfort when they try the shoe. Our hope is that it helps everyone feel comfortable, confident and uplifted."

The GEL-KAYANO 31 is dubbed the 'king of comfort' for good reason.

Whether you're an avid runner or spend a lot of time on your feet, the shoes are designed to keep your feet steady and comfy.

The GEL-KAYANO 31 shoe takes everything you loved about the previous model and brings it a step up.

Whether you're a beginner or seasoned pro, you may experience leg fatigue as you log more miles. That's where the shoe's 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM adapts to your body's movements, offering stability and support where you need it. Plus, the PureGEL technology ensures smoother transitions and superior shock absorption, protecting your feet with every step. 

In addition, ASICS has revamped the GEL-KAYANO's upper design, making it even more supportive and comfy. The new mesh upper is also designed to keep your feet cool and flexible during long-distance runs. For easier putting on and taking off, the GEL-KAYANO 31 now features a new knit collar with a modernised step-in experience.

But that's not all, ASICS is also keeping it green with the GEL-KAYANO 31

Each pair of ASICS' shoes have its CO2e emissions printed on the insole, coming in at 10.6kg per pair. This transparency helps you to make an informed and eco-friendly decision, while enjoying top-notch running performance.

The GEL-KAYANO 31 is now available and retails for RM729!
