ASICS Patriot 13 GS Junior Running Shoes The Patriot 13 GS (Grade School) is a shoe designed for active feet. It's made with a bouncy midsole that also delivers a cushioned underfoot feeling. This shoe is also constructed with a breathable mesh upper to promote better airflow, which helps keep feet cool. A layer of EVA foam in the midsole offers good shock absorption. Engineered Mesh Upper Engineered mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Lightweight and highly breathable for all-temperature comfort, the mesh acts as a lightweight second skin, providing a supportive and comfortable fit. Its perforated construction allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, letting your feet breathe when the temperature starts to rise or your training session heats up. The increase in ventilation provides a perfect microclimate for your feet to thrive in. Completing the upper is a lacing system that ensures a secure and comfortable fit throughout any run.
