**FIT NOTICE** The HyperGEL-KENZEN has a new premium sock-like fit but also runs slightly shorter than standard. We recommend buying a half size larger. Every HyperGEL™ shoe is unique and provides an enhanced cushion effect which reduces impact and preserves energy, resulting in improved comfort and endurance as the midsole restores its form faster than comparable footwear models. The futuristic look is completed with Japanese Kanji symbols located on both the inside and heel of each shoe.
