Runlong … provides a basis for every runner and consists of two subcategories that combine two key running shoe criteria, cushioning and support, at different priority levels.

Functioning as a basis, the RUN LONG category offers the most comprehensive footwear range. RUN TOUGH, RUN NATURAL and RUN FAST complement RUN LONG effectively – responding to new challenges and providing new impulses for your run.

The MIX UP YOUR RUN NEWS spring / summer 2015 introduces the new technologies in all categories.

io n in g

Your body constantly needs new impulses and stimuli in order to improve. MIX UP YOUR RUN was developed precisely for this purpose. Based on a newly devised running shoe range divided into four categories, and individual footwear solutions for different trail types, surfaces and speeds, MIX UP YOUR RUN adds even more variety to your run and targets different muscles and muscle groups – the tools your body needs to enhance its performance.

n in g

RUN LONG consists of two sub­ categories, Neutral Cushioning and Structured Cushioning.

Runnatural

Runfast

… is specifically designed to facilitate natural body movement, reduce material weight, offer strong impulse response and to exercise the foot’s muscles.

RunTOUGH

… is the individual, supplementary category within the ASICS running shoe range and provides new im­ pulses for improving speed. RUN FAST consists of two sub­ categories, Neutral and Structured.

RUN NATURAL consists of two subcategories, Neutral and Structured.

… engages the whole body and requires full focus due to the constantly changing ground terrain. RUN TOUGH provides new impulses for improving coordination, and exercises different muscle groups and stamina.

midsole Components

The lasting connects the shaft to the midsole and guarantees the unity of the shoe whilst also intensifying the ground contact. ASICS offers the following running shoe variants: blue lasting 45° yellow lasting 55° and red lasting 65°

The DUOMAX ® supporting element is mainly used in shoes for runners with a tendency to overpronate. It is available in different versions catering for individual needs.

Solyte ® 45° Lasting / SpEVA ® 45° Lasting Blue lasting 45° provides more cushioning and is more flexible. Solyte ® 55° Lasting / SpEVA ® 55° Lasting Yellow lastings with 55° are processed a little more densely to perfectly match the characteristics of the midsole and provide the foot with a stable foundation. Solyte ® 65° Lasting / SpEVA ® 65° Lasting Red lasting 65° provides additional stability for runners by limiting midsole deformation which improves the foothold.

Placed in the midfoot area DUOMAX ® is a supporting element made from midsole materials providing a higher degree of hardness and more stability. It reduces possible overpronation ahead of the push-off phase and improves the natural motion sequence.

DuoMax ® Support System A dual-density midsole system positioned to enhance support and stability, positioned sport-specifically.

Trusstic systemS 50

Flex grooves

The TRUSSTIC systems are a light stabilisation unit integrated into the midsole just below the arch of the foot. It connects the rear- and the forefoot. It also supports the midfoot in the stance phase and during the preparation for the push-off phase. The midsole is deformed in a controlled way as a direct result of the foot load. The torsional stability of the shoe remains intact, the arch of the foot is stabilised and the sole of the foot is relieved. Ultimately, this reduces the risk of injury and the running shoe simply provides more comfort and safety.

These technologies consistently adapts to each foot movement and any running style. From impact to push-off each movement is supported as the platform between the foot and the ground is secured in each phase. This is achieved by connecting the outerand midsole construction through the integrated flex grooves. Optimal guidance and stability is achived by impact loads being absorbed and distributed across the shoe. This supports the most efficient movement of every runner and facilitates a dynamic push-off as well.

Guidance Trusstic neutral This system with its moderate stability ensures effective rollover movement and support during the entire roll-over process. Guidance Trusstic structured Upon ground contact the energy is transferred into the push-off movement. The midfoot is particularly well supported. Propulsion Trusstic Mimics connective tissue in the foot by creating tension as foot enters propulsion stage.

FluidAxis ÂŽ

Anatomically correct deep flex grooves have been aligned to the joints of the foot. This innovative construction enables the shoe to recognise, adapt, and respond to the athlete’s exact load and positional change from first impact to toe-off.

Guidance Line ÂŽ

The vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency, optimal transition of movement, and perfect transfer of forward energy.

Heel Gradient 3 mm This 3 mm difference in height between heel and forefoot offers the lowest off-set in the ASICS collection. Heel Gradient 6 mm This 6 mm difference in height between heel and forefoot offers a closer feel to the ground and promotes faster movements at high speed. Heel Gradient 10 mm This 10 mm difference in height between heel and forefoot offers the best biomechanical position to protect forward motion and reduces load on the achilles tendons, calf muscles, ham string and back.
