The Asics Gel-Kinsei Blast LE 2

The GEL-KINSEI® BLAST LE 2 shoes are specifically crafted for long-distance runners in search of a seamlessly fluid stride. Our primary focus in developing this version was to ensure that the design exudes the same level of elegance on city streets as it does on race day. Drawing inspiration from technical performance, the upper incorporates Nexkin mesh material which not only enhances the overall aesthetic but also improves ventilation, keeping your feet cool and comfortable.

A combination of GEL® technology and FF BLAST™ cushioning results in a gentle yet highly responsive footstrike. As you smoothly transition from the initial landing phase, these shoes propel you forward, providing an effortless and uninterrupted running experience.

Taking inspiration from the graceful curves of a samurai's katana sword, the midsole features an intricately sculpted shape. With the incorporation of a Pebax plate at its core, this unique feature redirects your movement forward, creating a sensation of enhanced speed during your run.
