The ASICS Kinsei range is where cutting-edge tech meets comfort and bold design. Whether you're chasing a new PB or want a shoe that delivers all-day support, the Kinsei ASICS lineup offers something for every step.
Smooth transitions and responsive rides
The ASICS Kinsei Blast is a top pick for runners who want a smooth, powerful ride. It features FF BLAST™ cushioning paired with GEL® technology, creating a soft yet responsive underfoot feel. The midsole's shape takes inspiration from a katana, helping guide your foot forward for a more energised run. The addition of a Pebax propulsion plate delivers a snappy toe-off that makes long-distance running feel fast and fluid.
Tech-driven comfort with throwback flair
For those who love retro styling with performance to match, the GEL-Kinsei OG brings a throwback look with modern comfort. It's built with IGS® (Impact Guidance System) to support your natural stride, and its Trusstic System® in the midfoot adds structure without weight. A breathable mesh upper keeps things cool, while an Ortholite® sock liner and AHAR® Plus outsole boost durability and long-term wear.
