“Each runner has different needs and understanding their type of footprint is the first thing to do to find their right sneakers ... The pronation refers to the way a runner's foot moves inward with the impact of the landing, and we have observed that at long distances all runners, including supinators and neutrals, tend to pronounce fatigue. Therefore, in examining runners' race patterns, ASICS has set standards to help all cases. The ASICS FOOT ID system data allows us to advise on which shoes to choose and the GEL-Kayano 26 serves all types of runners looking for safety, stability and cushioning, ”said Kenichi Harano, Executive Director and Senior General Manager of the Institute of Sports Sciences (ISS) of ASICS.

Like all ASICS shoes, each generation of the GEL-KAYANO series goes through an intense cycle of testing and development, it is only published if the data shows improvements beyond the previous version. For GEL-KAYANO 26, the objective of the improvement was not only the damping, but mainly its already recognized stability.
