Technologies
-
AHAR+
New density in AHAR. Improves cushioning and durability.
-
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.
-
Gel talon et avant
Mitigates shocks upon impact and during propulsion, providing total freedom of movement throughout the stride cycle. The Asics Gel system is probably the most famous of Asics' innovations. To provide the highest possible shock absorption, the Gel units are strategically positioned in the midsole. Different components are used for the Asics Gel cushioning system. Depending on its intended use, the Gel unit is encapsulated in polyurethane. The shape of the units is also precisely related to their position and function.
-
Guidance Trusstic
New structure of the Trusstic system integrated with the Guidance Line to improve foot roll while ensuring support.
-
Rearfoot GEL Cushioning System
GEL Asics, the most famous innovation of the brand. In order to provide the highest shock absorption, the GEL units are strategically positioned in the midsole. The shape of the units is precisely related to their position and their function.
-
FlyteFoam
3 years of development and 300 prototypes for FlyteFoam cushioning.
Reinforced with fibers and padded with a material 55% lighter than the industry standard, this cushioning returns to its shape with every stride. You benefit from a smooth, airy stride.
Continuous cushioning is possible thanks to effective shock absorption, which instantly returns to its original shape, ensuring maximum cushioning.
Benefits:
- Soft landing
- Light and airy stride
-
Mesh Jacquard
New mesh designed in a single layer, minimizes friction between the foot and the upper for an optimized support experience. Open and closed woven seams allow for optimized flexibility and breathability while adding lightness.
-
FlyteFoam Propel
Combination of a lightweight foam with an energy-return elastomer for increased rebound and better energy return.
-
Construction 3D Space
Innovative, the 3D Space design at the heel promotes compression in your stride to enhance its power while ensuring impressive responsiveness. This technology located at the heel helps the runner better engage their stride, while providing superior sensations underfoot.
-
Semelle intérieure OrthoLite X-30
The OrthoLite X-30 insole provides optimal walking comfort.
