The Kayano is the shoe Asics's stability reputation rests on, and the twenty-eighth version was a substantial rework rather than a colour change. The midsole moved onto a bouncier foam than the compound it replaced, which lifted the ride at every pace, and the plastic shank that had sat under the outsole was floated up into the midsole instead. A new low-profile external heel counter works with the dual-density support system (a firmer strip of foam running from the heel to the front of the arch) to control an inward-rolling stride without a hard post. Reviewers rated it among the better stability trainers of its year, particularly for runners with low arches. This colourway takes the mesh upper into an olive canvas tone with black through the sole and trim, a quieter treatment than the model's usual blues, and one of the last releases of 2021.
