GEL-BLADE 3

Under the hood

• DuoMax Support System

  Dual density midsole material positioned sport specifically which enhances support and stability by helping to correct the degree and velocity of pronation.

• I.G.S. (Impact Guidance System)

  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.

• Wet Grip Rubber

  Sole material made from a special blend of organic and non-organic components designed to enhance traction even on wet surfaces.

• Trusstic

  Plastic bridge under the arch which gives the shoe strength and stability without loss of flexibility.

• 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.

• Trusstic

  Plastic bridge under the arch which gives the shoe strength and stability without loss of flexibility.

• Soft Top DuoMax Support System

  Soft Top Duomax is a softer top layer of the Duomax midsole. Together with the Gender Specific Space Trusstic, Soft Top Duomax accommodates for fluctuations in women's hormonal levels which cause the foot arches to be lowered, creating more pressure on the plantar fascia. By using a lower-density material, Soft Top Duomax provides a more comfortable transition from heel strike to toe-off without sacrificing stability.

• Transition Sole

  The Transition Sole, placed in the midfoot, allows for a smooth, stable and controlled transition from forward motion to side and backward movements.
