Kayano 29 Upper
The Kayano 29 from ASICS feature an upper construction with a double layer of Jacquard FluidFit mesh. This is a multi-directional elastic mesh that provides a personalized, glove-like fit. In addition, it is very breathable.
It is a single-layer fabric that appeared with the launch of ASICS' most luxurious and premium model, the Metarun.
It is a very comfortable fabric, almost seamless, and ensures a more adaptive, sock-like fit. Inside, it feels very comfortable and somewhat cushioned.
Additionally, the new multi-directional mesh upper is woven in a way that provides greater support in key areas while reducing weight and improving breathability.
The OrthoLite X-55 inner sole is made with antibacterial material to reduce odor and moisture. While also providing additional cushioning.
Asics Kayano 29 Midsole
The MetaClutch is a reinforcement that wraps around the heel for a secure fit. It uses a new X-shaped exoskeletal structure lined with anti-deformation memory foam.
3D SPACE CONSTRUCTION Technology improves compression in each of your strides.
The great cushioning of the Kayano is due to the combination of the Forefoot Gel cushioning system (the visible Gel foam present in the back of the shoe), with the Flyte Foam Blast + midsole foam.
With all this, you will have light, comfortable, durable and environmentally friendly cushioning.
Kayano 29 Outsole
Asics cushioning
In this 29th version, the increased number of grooves that make the shoe more flexible stands out.
Also noteworthy are the diagonal grooves in the front part of the sole, which improve the traction efficiency of each of your strides.
The DuraSponge outsole in the forefoot is made of a blown AHAR compound, which provides responsive cushioning and flexibility.
The heel area is made of high-abrasion carbon rubber, also ASICS AHAR, for much greater durability.
