Where does GEL-KAYANO 7 fit in the GEL-KAYANO timeline?

Released in 2001, the GEL-KAYANO VII is recorded in ASICS’ corporate history as an IGS (Impact Guidance System) model, integrating multiple running functions based on scientific movement analysis. GEL-KAYANO is best understood as a continuous development line rather than a collection of isolated hits. This archive places the 2001 generation in sequence with the models before and after it.

Read it alongside adjacent generations

The clearest way to understand a KAYANO generation is to compare it with the model immediately before and after it. Across the line, ASICS has repeatedly refined stability, cushioning, fit and weight rather than replacing the concept wholesale every year.
