Midsole

The AMPLIFOAM™ cushioning material provides good cushioning and energy return and a super comfortable feeling under the foot. It has a lower density and is formulated to increase softness. It gives the best in all six aspects of cushioning: impact absorption, fit response, pressure relief, energy return, durability and weight. In addition to the foam, GEL™ technology has been implemented in the midsole to soften the landing and improve shock absorption. The shoe also has the GUIDANCE LINE™ technology, an arc-shaped groove. This groove allows the shoe sole to bend while running. The goal is to stimulate the flexion and extension of the foot at the toe base joints. The benefits of this technology? A better fit, less strain on the feet and more comfort while running. To top it all off, the ORTHOLITE™ insole ensures comfortable entry with long-lasting cushioning. Open cells in the sole keep your feet cool while running.

Upper

The open structure of the jacquard mesh upper increases the breathability of the shoe, while the textured yarns ensure that sweat can escape and the shoe remains dry on the inside. The elasticity of the mesh increases comfort levels and support as it follows every movement of the foot. The upper consists partly of recycled materials. In this way, among other things, ASICS tries to make its products increasingly sustainable.
