The ASICS Gel Kinsei OG is a technical running sneaker that embodies a harmonious blend of secure stability and effortless movement. Created by Hisanori Fujita and drawing inspiration from the resilience and flexibility of samurai armor, this sneaker is an exploration of protected yet fluid motion. A contemporary version released in September 2019, it features an anatomical mesh upper adorned with silver leather and contrasting logo stripes. The design of its heel mimics the sleek angle of katana swords, adding a touch of authentic charm. To enhance performance, the Gel-assisted midsole and high-abrasion rubber outsole of this sneaker integrate Impact Guidance and Trusstic Systems, providing a flexible structure for optimal comfort and support.
