GEL-KINSEI 4

The GEL-KINSEI 4 features many ASICS advanced technologies to make it a truly brilliant update to ASICS most sophisticated running shoe. The GEL-KINSEI 4 uses slimline materials for weight reduction and stronger materials for added structure and support. Redesigned and re-engineered components improve comfort, fit and performance so that the GEL-KINSEI 4 provides a lighter, stronger more comfortable adaptive platform to enhance natural gait efficiency. A discrete heel unit provides improved support and takes the Impact Guidance System (IGS) to a new level by creating our highest degree of shock attenuation and stability. AHAR+, a thinner and lighter version of ASICS High Abrasion Resistant rubber, features in heavy contact areas of the outsole to reduce excessive wear. For maximum comfort, Cuprothermo, a metallic film, is used in the upper to retain heat in cold weather and release heat in warm weather, while X-40 ComforDry Sockliner gives cushioning and anti-microbial properties for a cooler, drier, healthier environment.

Technologies

Propulsion Plate

Plate in the sole which provides stability in the forefoot and offers flexibility for additional comfort.

AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Resistant rubber)

Tough material placed in critical areas of heavy contact on the shoe for exceptional durability.

3M Reflectivity

Special reflective material which enhances visibility in poor light. 3m Scotchlite is a registered trademark of the 3M Company.

Solyte Midsole Material

Spongy layer between the sole and upper designed to absorb shock and cushion the foot. Solyte is a lighter material than SpEVA and EVA and features enhanced durability.

I.G.S. (Impact Guidance System)

The Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.) is an ASICS design philosophy. It aims to make shoe components from rear to midfoot and forefoot to work together effectively to allow the body to perform in a natural manner. ASICS designers strive to compliment, not correct, how the legs and feet move.

Propulsion Plate

AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Resistant rubber)

Tough material placed in critical areas of heavy contact on the shoe for exceptional durability.

Guidance Line

Guidance Line places a visible groove in the mid and outsole that follows the foot's center of pressure from heel to toe. The result is a more adaptive running platform, creating a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with each stride. The Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.

DuraSponge

DuraSponge is a blown AHAR compound for enhanced cushioning and durability in the forefoot. ASICS High Abrasion Resistance Rubber (AHAR) is a tough compound used at the heavy contact area of the outsole.
