No matter what pace you run - a 5k or a long run - you can rely on the GT-2000 shoe. Experience the perfect balance between cushioning and responsiveness with this all-round running shoe! Midsole The FLYTEFOAM foam provides good cushioning and energy return for a super comfortable feeling. In addition to the foam, GEL technology has been implemented in the midsole to soften the landing and improve shock absorption. The shoe's LITETRUSS technology gives you the support you need. LITETRUSS is a correction block on the inside of the shoe that ensures that your foot and ankle cannot collapse inwards during the transition. Upper The Engineered Mesh upper provides support in strategic places around the midfoot and has high breathability in the forefoot. In addition, ASICS uppers use partially recycled materials to reduce their impact on the environment. Outsole The outsole of the shoe is made from a combination of AHARPLUS and ASICS LITE rubber. AHARPLUS was used at the heel due to its great durability. A type of rubber that is wear-resistant and will therefore last a long time. ASICS LITE rubber is found under the midfoot and forefoot. This material is very light and also has reflective details. The outsole provides good grip and traction in both dry and wet conditions. Get the most out of your running session with the ASICS GT-2000 12!
