AHAR, Rearfoot : A thinner and lighter version of Asics High Abrasion Resistance rubber. It is placed on the impact area of the outsole to reduce excessive wear.
Heel Clutch : Exoskeletal heel counter provides improved support and creates improved heel fitting environment.
ComforDry™ Sockliner : Made from an anti-bacterial material that not only reduces odor and moisture but also provides additional cushioning.
Discrete Eyelets : Eyelets are independently placed to disburse lace tension and are designed to enhance comfort.
Discrete Heel Unit : Takes the Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.®) to a new level by creating our highest degree of shock attenuation and stability.
Dynamic DuoMax® : Evolution of the DuoMax® system enhances stability and support, with reduced weight and increased platform support : DuoMax® : Pillared structure midsole layout system positioned to reduces over pronation by controlling the movement of the foot, leading to a smoother heel to toe transition. It is lighter and more comfortable then traditional DuoMax, while providing the same amount of stability.
DuraSpong®, Forefoot : A new blown rubber compound for enhanced durability and cushioning in the forefoot.
Gel®, Rearfoot n Forefoot : Provides maximum rearfoot shock attenuation and stabilitiy.
Guidance Line® : Vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency.
Guidance Trusstic System® : Integration of the Trusstic System® and Guidance Line® construction for enhanced gait efficiency while providing midfoot structural integrity : Trusstic : Moulded component under the mid-foot area. Provides over-pro-nation control in combination with extremely contoured mid-soles. Reduces the weight of the shoe.
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.
PHF® : Personal Heel Fit System : Moulds and customizes itself to the individual heel shape of the wearer.
FluidFit® : Shoe's upper technology which combines multi-directional stretch mesh with stretch reinforcements that adapt to the athlete's foot, creating a truly customized glove-like fit.
FluidRide®, Midsole : Provides the ultimate combination of bounce back and cushioning properties with reduced weight and exceptional durability.
SpEva® 55 Strobel Last : On top of the inner rear portion of the shoe, it has a medium density to deliver a moderately soft feel under the foot : Strobel : Stitching the upper along the perimeter of a synthetic material which is then attached to the midsole.
