The Asics 3000 series, 2010s version, 3020, is the perfect shoe for late-stage over-pronators, highlighted by the iconic Dynamic Forefoot Cradle. Featuring a new bunion window, a lower heel collars with dual fit PHF heel and Discrete Eyelet Construction (Which allows the mid-foot to remain secure during heel-toe transitions), the 3020 delivers a fluid race and firm underfoot.

AHAR+ Heel : 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.
Biomorphic Fit : Provides enhanced upper fit and comfort while decreasing potential for irritation.
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.
Duosole® : A lightweight outsole construction which provide additional flexibility and traction.
Dynamic Cradle™ : Supports and guides the foot.
Gel® : Provides maximum rearfoot and forefoot shock attenuation.
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 customises itself to the individual heel shape of the wearer.
Solyte™ : Asics midsole material Solyte is a durable advanced co-polymer that is lighter than standard EVA and Asics SpEVA® : The advantage to injected Solyte® is a much more consistent density, ensuring that the desired softness is more ‘dialed in’ than standard compression molded midsole material. Injected Solyte® is also lighter than standard Solyte® contributing to the overall drop in weight.
SpEVA™ 55 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.
Space Trusstic System™ : The system works with the complex functions of the foot to facilitate Windlass Mechanics. Space Trusstic is new I.G.S. componentry and an evolution, if not revolution of our benchmark trusstic technology. The Space Trusstic system is not integrated within the EVA. Rather it is suspended below the midsole EVA forming a distinct pocket or space into which the EVA of the mid foot section of the shoe can distort. The result is that torsion stability of the shoe is maintained but pressure on the plantar facia is released enabling tension with the transition from foot flat to propulsion. This is designed to facilitate the all-important Windlass Mechanism. Space Trusstic is a natural extension of I.G.S. and an enhancement of Windlass Mechanics.
