Plate note
Complete exact official ASICS construction and technology evidence lists the GEL-KAYANO 31 upper, FF BLAST PLUS ECO and PureGEL midsole, and HYBRID ASICSGRIP outsole without identifying a carbon structure. A second exact official source corroborates this classification; this does not assert that the shoe has no plate of any kind.
