The GEL-KINSEI® Blast shoes are designed for distance runners seeking a smooth stride. Our focus for this trim level approach was to make this design look as good in the streets as it does on race day. Tonal hues on the jacquard mesh upper are met with advanced breathability for running and everyday scenarios. An arrangement of GEL® technology and FF BLAST™ cushioning create a soft yet responsive step. After easing into the landing phase, the shoe propels you forward with a smooth transition. The midsole's shape is inspired by a samurai's curvaceous katana sword. With a Pebax plate in the center, this feature redirects your movement forward and gives your run a faster feel.
Underpronation
Foot Type
High arches
Push Off
The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot.
Considered Injuries
Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain.
How your foot contacts the ground
The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.
Neutral
Foot Type
Normal size arches
Push Off
There is even distribution from the front of the foot.
Considered Injuries
Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.
How your foot contacts the ground
The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.
Tech & Materials
Engineered knit upper provides excellent comfort and support
Pebax propulsion plate helps redirect the runner’s energy forward and create a faster feel
FF BLAST™ cushioning provides lightweight impact absorption and a responsive rebound
FLYTEFOAM+™ cushioning generates lightweight impact absorption and good durability
