Under the hood

• 3M Reflectivity

  Special reflective material which enhances visibility in poor light. 3m Scotchlite is a registered trademark of the 3M Company.

• Propulsion Plate

  Plate in the sole which provides stability in the forefoot and offers flexibility for additional comfort.

• Propulsion Trusstic

  Plastic bridge under the arch which mimics the connective tissue in the foot by creating tension as the foot moves through each step.

• Visible Rearfoot GEL

  ASICS GEL is a silicone-based cushioning system designed to meet the needs of both professional and recreational athletes. Rearfoot GEL provides cushioning in all directions, absorbs impact forces and helps to stabilise the foot during heel contact. The GEL in the heel is left exposed in this case.

• AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Resistant rubber)

  Tough material placed in critical areas of heavy contact on the shoe for exceptional durability.

• Solyte Midsole Material

  Spongy layer between the sole and upper designed to absorb shock and cushion the foot. Solyte is a lighter material than SpEVA and EVA and features enhanced durability.

• Guidance Line

  Guidance Line places a visible groove in the mid and outsole that follows the foot's center of pressure from heel to toe. The result is a more adaptive running platform, creating a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with each stride. The Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.
