Technologies
-
GEL talon
The Asics Gel system is probably the most famous of Asics' innovations. To provide the highest possible shock absorption, Gel units are strategically positioned in the midsole. Various components are used for the Asics Gel cushioning system. Depending on its purpose, the Gel unit is encapsulated in polyurethane. The shape of the units is also precisely related to their position and function.
-
Guidance Line
Characterized by a visible notch in the midsole and in the contact sole. This notch follows the foot's center of pressure from the heel to the toes. This allows for a more adjustable running shoe, creating a smoother transition with each stride between the impact phase and the propulsion phase. Thus, the Automatic Guidance Line helps runners maintain a natural and efficient motion, especially over long distances.
-
Semelle intérieure Ortholite
Offers more comfort.
-
AmpliFoam+
The AmpliFoam+ foam aims to be more durable and provides powerful cushioning. It softens your strides and promotes dynamism.
