ComforDry™ Sockliner : Made from an anti-bacterial material that not only reduces odor and moisture but also provides additional cushioning.

Dynamic DuoMax®, Medial Post : An upgrade of the DuoMax system by distributing local pressure proportionally to increase stability while providing improved comfort : DuoMax : Ensures that the shoe maintains proper support for the foot during the critical transition from heel strike to toe-off. The latest evolution has been introduced in the shoe with multi-rigid shape Dynamic DuoMax technology, resulting a ounce of weight saving s as to its previous design while providing the same level of support.

Gel®, Forefoot n Rearfoot : Provides maximum rearfoot and forefoot shock attenuation.

Guidance Line™ : Vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency.

Heel Clutch System™ : This system removes the traditional internal heel components and replaces it with an exoskeletal heel counter to provides a more comfortable heel fitting environment while decreasing the probability of friction or irritation.

I.G.S.® : Impact Guidance System : Asics® design philosophy that uses linked componentry to encourage optimal gait while allowing for natural foot movement from heel strike to toe-off.

Open Mesh : An ultra lightweight shoe upper with overlays which provides excellent support and ventilation.
