The new HyperGEL™-KENZEN is an innovative design that incorporates HyperGEL™ technology with breathability detail and HyperGEL™ beads integrated into the midsole. Every HyperGEL™ shoe is unique and provides an enhanced cushion effect which reduces impact and preserves energy, resulting in improved comfort and endurance as the midsole restores its form faster than comparable footwear models. The futuristic look is completed with Japanese Kanji symbols located on both the inside and heel of each shoe. The left foot symbol translates to 'Mind' while the right foot translates to 'Body' stamping the ASICS credo 'Sound Mind, Sound Body" onto the very fabric of our latest premium offering. **FIT NOTICE** The HyperGEL™-KENZEN has a new premium sock-like fit but also runs slightly shorter than standard. We recommend buying a half size larger. Weight: 10.4 oz. Heel Height: 17mm. Forefoot Height: 9mm.
