Asics Gel Kinsei
The much anticipated new shoes from Asics : Gel Kinsei (キンセイ - Golden Star) will be on sale from Jan 2006. This shoe is belived to be listed as a stable neutral shoe as there isn't any pronation controlling feature in the shoe other than a slight difference in the density of the medial gel columns as to the lateral gel columns.
With the Kinsei, Asics is using a brand new material know as "Solyte", which acoording to Asics is a much lighter midsole material then their current EVAs.
The visually stunning Discrete Heel Unit takes the Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.®) to another level by creating our highest degree of shock attenuation and stability. The Discrete Heel Unit has an infinite ability to adapt because there are many different parts interrelating, but with the ability to work independently. The cushioning and stability parameters of the shoe are provided by separate and very interactive rearfoot GEL columns.
The upper of the new GEL-Kinsei defines the soul of the shoe: fast, edgy, and technical. The highlight of the upper is a newly developed, Japanese mesh called Spacemaster-UV1 . Conceived by observing the unique properties of marine coral, Spacemaster-UV is very breathable, remarkably strong, and is about 30% lighter than regular polyester mesh. The materials used in Spacemaster-UV provide much better UV shielding by not only absorbing but also reflecting the sun’s heat rays.
MSRP : US$165
Weight : 13.0 oz / 368 gm
Features : Gel®, Space Trusstic System™, Spacemaster-UV, I.G.S.®, , AHAR+, PHF™, Solyte™, Biomorphic Fit™
