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.

High arches

The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot.

Details
The GEL-KINSEI® MAX trainer takes the experience of running on clouds to the next level. It’s been redesigned for runners who want every step to feel like it’s oozing with softness.​

The tooling is modified with our FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning for the midsole’s top layer. This helps provide cloud-like comfort while creating an energized feel at toe-off. ​

A TPU midsole plate is positioned in the center of the midsole to provide a more dynamic toe-off. It also works in tandem with the new rubber foaming and Hybrid GEL™ technology to help create smoother underfoot transitions.
