The ASICS GEL-KAYANO 32 has officially landed—and it’s here to make your long runs feel a whole lot less like a slog.
Launching on 1 June 2025, this latest update to ASICS’ iconic stability line comes with a lighter midsole and a snug new upper, all designed to give you the comfort and support your knees have been begging for. Think plush cushioning without the bulk, and support that doesn’t shout about it.
A guidance system that reads your stride like a coach
ASICS’ 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ isn’t about brute-forcing your foot into place; it senses when you drift and nudges you back on course as gently as a friend tapping your elbow.
The tech works with—not against—your natural motion, letting you focus on the run instead of the mechanics.
Inside the foam makeover
What it means on the road
- FF BLAST™ PLUS A lighter, livelier midsole compound with 2 mm extra foam under the forefoot for pillow-soft impact and a snappy rebound on toe-off.
- PureGEL™ Embedded gel pockets that soak up shock and smooth out each transition, especially welcome on long descents.
- HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ outsole A revamped rubber blend that clings to wet pavement and shrug-offs high-mile wear like it’s no big deal.
Together, these upgrades trim weight while piling on comfort—proof you can have both feather-light feel and marathon-ready cushioning.
Upper class comfort
The engineered mesh upper now feels almost sweater-soft, breathing easily on hot tempo days while hugging the foot just enough to prevent slide.
A new stable tongue wing adapts to each arch, adding a reassuring pinch of medial support so over-pronators can relax their knees and open their stride.
