ASICS Evoride Speed

RRP $250 tech, these kicks are perfect for race day or tempo runs

ASICS NZ report that Nicole van der Kaay is a big fan of company’s Guidesole technology so expect the Kiwi No.1 to be an early adopter of the just-launched EVORIDE SPEED, the latest addition to ASICS’ growing ‘Speed’ range. The EVORIDE SPEED is a lightweight trainer designed with enhanced energy savings in mind. With a curved sole design, the Guidesole technology helps reduce ankle flexion while the pronounced toe-spring shape decreases energy expenditure and creates a smoother forward roll, propelling the runner forward. A firmer layer of Flytefoam Lyte technology provides cushioning and structure, while a second layer of Flytefoam Propel tech gives the sole a soft, bouncy feel. In the heel, GEL technology improves cushioning at foot strike.
