Under the hood

• 3M Reflectivity

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

• 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.

• Propulsion Plate

  Plate in the sole which provides stability in the forefoot and offers flexibility for additional comfort.

• AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Resistant rubber)

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

• 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.

• 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. The Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.

• ComforDry sockliner

  Insole placed inside the shoe which provides cushioning keeping the foot drier and cooler.

• SpEVA Midsole Material

  Spongy layer between the sole and upper designed to absorb shock and cushion the foot.

• 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.
