Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kinsei® Blast

Feels great on the feet! Would definitely purchase another pair

Design was unexpected ly cool. The tongue had a design that makes it stay I place and the laces material is good. Have not had them become undone so far. Feel is very good from bottom.

These shoes are so smooth. Really comfortable. I'm getting another pair now.

True to size. Feels great. Lots of cushion. Outdoor or on the treadmill this shoe will keep your fit comfy.

Great lightweight bouncy shoe with a wonderful fit. As someone who overpronates I did not think this shoe would even support light activities or runs but it does.

I was training for marathon with NB Fresh Foam 1080 V10. I like the shoes but I got injured a lot, way too easily. I gave up running. I switched to Kinsei Blast when the 2022 one came out. Reduced injury significantly. Practically eliminated all injuries. I have been training consistently for 3 months now on Kinsei Blast. Make running possible for me! I have been healthier and stronger. I am very thankful! Thank you!!!

I was skeptical when I first purchased these shoes. Very impressed after wearing these for about a month. I have to say these go well with my everyday wear and are extremely comfortable. Like second to none type of comforty.

Great fit and cushioning all over the feet. It does have that nice cushion on the heel.

Bought these for my husband and he adores them! Can't keep his feet out of them lol

Know your feet! IMO, this is the most important shoe purchasing issue. Aasics shoes, have always been my go to. If you know your running/walking style, along with the anatomy of your foot, Aasics will have a shoe for you. The Kinsei Blast works for me, having a high arch and neutral gait along with beat up toes. This shoe is great, given the fact the curvature design is supportive of all of those issues and keeps this old Veteran moving!

Everything I wanted!!! I'm glad I made this purchase

Amazing support and solid structure. Comfortable form fitting. The nest shoe I have owned.

A good shoe. A nice rotation with the novablast 2.

What happens when you throw everything, and the kitchen sink at a running shoe? Well, you get the Asics Kinsei Blast. Critical foam? Check. Plate? Check. Knit upper? Check. AHAR+ outsole? Check. Stout heel counter? Check. Gel? Check. It's probably one of my favorite running shoes. It's stable. It's bouncy. It's cushioned. It's just comfortable all around. I guess the only negative I could give it is the weight. It's a tad on the heavier side, but I've ran in heavier shoes. It's also a little on the warmer side, but it's still not bad. It's like they took a Novablast v.1 with the knit upper, added a plate for stability (because that Novablast was kinda unstable), and added some Gel for shock protection. That's what it feels like. It's hard to say who it's competitors would be. Adidas Ultraboost 21? I'd pick the Kinsei Blast. It's an odd shoe that's just enjoyable to go for a run in just go for a run. No speed workouts or anything. Just you, some music, maybe just listen to the birds (or traffic, wherever you live) in just keep striding along without care. That's the Kinsei Blast.

Lighter than I expected. Comfortable fit, feels slightly wider/roomier than the gel Keyano. Have about 80 miles on mine and they are wearing well. Stability seems good. Quality built shoe

My feet feel amazing after a 12 hour shift on concrete.

These shoes seem to be well made. They're comfortable and very easy to walk in.

Loved the look of this shoe, after wearing kayano for years, just haven't liked the last couple of versions. Most recently ran with the gt2000, but was looking for an upgrade. So far, have loved the kinsei. Certainly has added more rebound in my stride, and I was able to run one of my best times ever in this shoe....whether that has anything to do with it or not. Did take a couple runs to break in, as it felt narrow at first, but nothing that would keep me from buying another pair. So far, I feel like this shoe will live up to the price point.

Very comfortable, warm net upper, perfect for working long hours.

Amazing...super comfortable...best running shoe I have ever owned
