Features
The asics cumulus GEL-Kayano 31 Paris combines innovative cushioning, adaptive stability and lightweight performance for an exceptional ride.
This premium stability shoe features energetic FF BLAST PLUS ECO midsole foam for cloud-like softness. In our review of the GEL-Kayano 31, run tester Spencer said, “I love the incredibly plush landing, which lasts through the entirety of my runs. As a higher cushion model, the Kayano 31 runs quite efficiently. The tall stack height still offers a lightweight feel instead of a clunky experience.”
Combined with a 4D Guidance System and an internal GEL cushioning compound in the heel for soft landings and smooth stability, the GEL-Kayano 31 is an incredible luxe and plush daily trainer that’s perfect for everything from long runs to standing on your feet all day.
Details:
- Upper: A new engineered mesh upper and knit collar construction give this shoe a luxurious step-in experience while still keeping things breathable. Plus, an advanced pull-tab makes it easy to get the shoe on and off.
- Midsole: FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, ASICS’ softest and most energetic midsole foam made with 24 percent bio-based content gives you a plush and energetic underfoot experience. Then, the revolutionary 4D Guidance System provides on-demand pronation control through a flared midsole, wide base and medial guidance foam. Finally, lightweight PureGEL cushioning in the rearfoot delivers exceptional impact absorption.
- Outsole: A combination of strategically placed ASICSGRIP™ and AHARPLUS™ outsole materials improves grip and softness without compromising durability.

Who It’s Best For
The asics cumulus GEL-Kayano 31 is a high-cushioned stability shoe for runners looking for a combination of softness and support during their runs.
“The Gel-Kayano 31 is tremendous for any type of distance running, ranging from 5K to marathon training,” says Spencer in our Kayano 31 review. “There was more turnover than I expected when I increased my cadence, and the shoe invites for a little bit of speed on account of its slight forward tilt. It’s agile enough for quick, short runs but durable enough to put miles and miles into.”
