GEL-KAYANO 17 GS

What do you need to know

The flagship model in the ASICS structured cushioning category is now available in a kids version. With its Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Cushioning and Solyte Midsole, the GEL-KAYANO 17 GS offers an excellent professional running shoe. To accommodate for children's lesser body weight, the three-piece outsole is designed more flexibly to make the rolling motion of the foot easier. The shoe's outsole is reinforced with AHAR+ rubber to reduce excessive wear, and it has a stitched toe for greater durability.

Under the hood

AHAR

ASICS High Abrasion Resistance Rubber (AHAR) is a tough compund used at the heavy contact area of the outsole, for example the heel. It helps to reduce excessive wear.

Gender Specific Forefoot Cushioning

Gender Specific Forefoot Cushioning refers to the inclusion of specially formulated Solyte material in the forefoot of the female shoe. Since this material is less dense than the traditional material it offers greater impact absorption and more bounce for female runners.

Space Trusstic

The Space Trusstic System is an advanced system that creates a pocket between the Trusstic System device and the midsole, allowing for greater midsole deformation and more efficient foot function.

3M Reflective

3M scotchlite (a registered trademark of the 3M Company) reflective material enhances visibility during low light hours.
