Under the hood

• ComforDry Sockliner

  The ComforDry Sockliner provides the optimum cushioning performance that creates a cooler, drier and healthier shoe environment.

• 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.

• HG10mm

  Heel Gradient 10 mm (HG10mm) means that the heel is raised 10 millimeters relative to the forefoot. This offers the best biomechanical position for running, allowing the foot to work since the body is in a forward position. It also reduces load on the Achilles tendons, calf muscles, ham string and back.

• 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. Automatic Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.

• 3M Reflective

  3M scotchlite (a registered trademark of the 3M Company) reflective material enhances visibility during low light hours.

• Solyte

  Solyte is a proprietary cushioning material that provides an exceptionally lightweight midsole with excellent bounce-back and durability.

• Propulsion Plate

  The Propulsion Plate is a special innovation for the forefoot allowing efficient forward movement.

• California Slip Lasting

  For stability and comfort.

• SpEVA

  SpEVA is a proprietary midsole material that improves bounce-back characteristics and decreases midsole breakdown.

• AHAR

  ASICS High Abrasion Resistance Rubber (AHAR) is a tough compound used at the heavy contact area of the outsole, for example the heel. It helps to reduce excessive wear.
