Asics Gel-Kayano 31 Black / White

Asics Gel-Kayano 31 — Black / White

No shortcuts. No concessions. The Asics Gel-Kayano 31 in Black and White is the version that needs no introduction — a colorway so considered in its simplicity that it makes every other choice look like it’s working harder than it needs to. Black delivers the authority and versatility that thirty-one editions of Kayano engineering deserves. White provides the precision and contrast that makes the construction read as exactly what it is: a performance stability shoe built without compromise. Worn on race day, on long training runs, or anywhere that demands both performance and presence, this is the Kayano 31 that does everything right by doing nothing unnecessary.

• FF BLAST PLUS ECO cushioning — Asics’ most advanced midsole foam, engineered for high-rebound energy return and sustained cushioning across long distances and high training loads, formulated with sustainability-conscious materials that maintain full performance without compromise
• 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM — a multi-dimensional support structure that manages pronation across the complete gait cycle — from heel strike through toe-off — providing adaptive overpronation control that works with the foot’s natural mechanics rather than overriding them
• GEL Technology heel cushioning — the innovation that defined the Kayano from its first edition, engineered into the 31st: a silicone-based attenuation insert that absorbs and disperses heel-strike impact before it reaches the foot, across every kilometre
• Engineered mesh upper — a precision-mapped mesh construction that delivers targeted breathability and structural support across the forefoot, midfoot, and heel — the result of thirty-one editions of fit refinement, optimised to perform under real training conditions
• LITETRUSS medial support — a lightweight, high-stiffness medial post that reinforces the arch side of the midsole with minimal weight penalty, providing the structural integrity the Kayano is built on in the most efficient package the line has ever produced
• Black upper — an authority-first choice that makes every other element of the Kayano 31’s construction read as deliberate — deep, versatile, and the foundation that allows the white to function as precision rather than decoration
• White accents — the contrast that brings the black upper’s authority into sharp focus — clean, precise, and placed with the confidence of a colorway that has nothing to prove and everything to deliver
• EU sizing 38–46 available (including half sizes)
