GEL-DS RACER 9

Under the hood

• 3M Reflectivity

  Special reflective material which enhances visibility in poor light. 3m Scotchlite is a registered trademark of the 3M Company.

• 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.

• 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.

• Solyte Midsole Material

  Spongy layer between the sole and upper designed to absorb shock and cushion the foot. Solyte is a lighter material than SpEVA and EVA and features enhanced durability.

• 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.

• AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Resistant rubber)

  Tough material placed in critical areas of heavy contact on the shoe for exceptional durability.
