3M scotchlite (a registered trademark of the 3M Company) reflective material enhances visibility during low light hours.
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.
GEL-KINSEI 4
Plastic bridge under the arch which mimics the connective tissue in the foot by creating tension as the foot moves through each step.
The Propulsion Plate is a special innovation for the forefoot allowing efficient forward movement.
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. Automatic Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.
Heel Clutching System is an external Pebax mold that 'clutches' the entire rearfoot. Replacing the shoe's internal heel counter, it works like an exoskeleton, providing support while drastically reducing the potential for irritation. Besides making the shoe lighter, Heel Clutching System creates a more customised fit for different foot types.
ASICS comes from the Latin phrase “Anima Sana In Corpore Sano”, meaning a “sound mind in a sound body”.
