The KT-26, with its revolutionary Bio-Kinetic® sole, was scientifically developed to absorb and redirect up to three times the body’s weight in shock, protecting runners from the foot, leg, and back injuries common at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA series of flexible cantilevered lugs in the sole, illustrated in the ad, deflect downward impact outward, away from the body, acting as natural shock absorbers. The result: less shock, greater stability, and reduced injury risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its sleek design and pioneering technology, the KT-26 stood at the leading edge of running science in the early 1980s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPDATE: \u003c\/strong\u003eOsaga Returns in 2025!
