GEL-KAYANO 29
A stability trainer for daily mileage and marathons, with FF BLAST PLUS above FLYTEFOAM and a midsole 2 mm thicker than its predecessor. High-hardness EVA LITETRUSS supports the medial side and resists twisting. A low-profile heel counter and stretch-knit upper support the foot, while an AHARPLUS heel plug reinforces the outsole where repeated landings cause wear.

Weight measurement and plate details
- Weight note
- The registered 299g and 10.5mm drop were previously verified on the exact ASICS Australia product page. That URL now returns a 500 error in a normal browser, so preserve the values while leaving a healthy public replacement source unresolved.
- Plate note
- No carbon plate is stated in the ASICS Japan official GEL-KAYANO 29 press release checked in this pass.
