Under the hood

• 3M Reflective

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

• I.G.S.

  The Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.) is an ASICS design philosophy. It aims to make shoe components from rear to midfoot and forefoot to work together effectively to allow the body to perform in a natural manner. ASICS designers strive to compliment, not correct, how the legs and feet move.

• Propulsion Plate

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

• 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.

• AHAR

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

• Solyte

  Solyte is a proprietary cushioning material that provides an exceptionally lightweight midsole with excellent bounce-back and 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. Automatic Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.

• Personal Heel Fit

  Personal Heel Fit (PHF) is made of a high density foam which moulds perfectly around the shape of the heel and Achilles tendon, providing a customised fit and improved comfort.

• ComforDry sockliner

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

• SpEVA

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

• 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.
