The i-Run team says
The Asics Gel-Kinsei Max shoe for men focuses on comfort to help you fully enjoy your running sessions. It allows you to experience a real sensation of softness as you run on roads and marked paths.
Gel-Kinsei Max: for which athlete, what use, what distance, and surface?
The Gel-Kinsei Max is designed for all practitioners seeking significant cushioning and good reactivity. It is suitable for both beginners and experienced runners. Thanks to its ideal stability, it can be adopted by runners with slight pronation.
You can benefit from it during regular to intensive outings, from 1 to more than 3 times a week.
It is recommended for all distances, from a walk around your neighborhood to an intense training session.
More comfortable on the road, it can also accompany you on marked and slightly uneven paths.

Technologies
-
GEL talon
The Asics Gel system is probably the most famous of Asics' innovations. To provide the highest possible shock absorption, Gel units are strategically positioned in the midsole. Various components are used for the Asics Gel cushioning system. Depending on its purpose, the Gel unit is encapsulated in polyurethane. The shape of the units is also precisely related to their position and function.
-
AHAR+
New density in AHAR. Improves cushioning and durability.
-
Engineered Mesh
This multi-directional mesh is woven to provide additional support in key areas, with increased spacing between various fibers to reduce the weight of the upper and enhance breathability.
-
FlyteFoam Blast+ ECO
The lightweight FF Blast+ ECO cushioning in the midsole creates softer landings and greater energy return: 20% more foam compared to previous versions. Its environmental impact is reduced, as it contains 24% materials sourced from renewable resources.
