ASICS Patriot 13 Running Shoes The Patriot 13 is a running shoe designed to help runners go further. 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 your feet cool. A layer of EVA foam in the midsole offers a spring-loaded response and good shock absorption. Meanwhile, the moulded rubber outsole provides excellent durability for your training. 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. Reinforced.
