Asics key focus for the GT-1000 11 TR shoe was to make it softer and smoother. Part of their NATURE BATHING Collection, this shoe is inspired by the Japanese phrase, "shirin yoku." Its colorway draws inspiration from the calming hues found in nature. Meanwhile, its trail-specific outsole is functional for running on off-road surfaces. FLYTEFOAM cushioning in the midsole is tuned with a lower density than the previous version. Teamed with GEL technology, this combination creates softer landings and smoother transitions. LITETRUSS technology is placed on the midsole’s inside angle to reduce pronation. It helps produce a more supportive stride while keeping overpronation at bay.
