ASICS Gel-Venture 9 Trail Running Shoes The Gel-Venture 9 shoe is designed for the great outdoors. The midsole has been modified with AMPLIFOAM cushioning and a higher stack height. When combined with the rearfoot GEL technology, these features help create a softer and more comfortable feel underfoot. Meanwhile, the outsole features an advanced traction pattern that's functional for road and trail surfaces. Breathable Mesh Upper Mesh uppers encase each foot in durable, breathable comfort. The porous mesh is highly breathable allowing cool air to circulate, removing uncomfortable heat build-up, and creating a cool, healthy environment that feet can thrive in. The increases in ventilation allow you to go further for longer in complete comfort whilst reduced overlays add durability and remain lightweight. Overlay reinforcements swathe the midfoot and forefoot to improve stability; they unite with the lacing system to promote complete lockdown, anchoring you to the midsole and reduci.
