The women's ASICS GEL-Kinsei Blast LE 2 gives you a smooth, fast stride as you go the distance. Inspired by a samurai’s armor and curved like a katana sword, the limited edition GEL-Kinsei Blast LE 2 features a Nexkin mesh material upper that evolves the design of the shoe and improves airflow to keep your feet feeling cool. This high-cushioned running shoe comes with an arrangement of ASICS’ GEL® technology and FF BLAST™ PLUS foam for soft yet responsive landings. A PEBAX™ propulsion plate layered into the midsole then works to redirect your energy forward, giving you incredibly fast and uplifting toe-offs. A strategically placed AHARPLUS™ rubber outsole over high contact zones improves the durability and grip of the shoe so you can race around corners or put on the brakes with confidence. Plus, the OrthoLite™ sockliner gives you instant step-in comfort over long miles, while reflective details improve visibility during your early morning or late night training runs. Designed to look as good in the streets as it does on race day, push the pace and set a new PR in the ASICS GEL-Kinsei Blast LE 2.
