your body constantly needs new impulses and stimuli in order to improve. miX uP yOuR Run was developed

precisely for this purpose. based on a newly devised running shoe range divided into four categories, and

individual footwear solutions for different trail types, surfaces and speeds, miX uP yOuR Run adds even more

variety to your run and targets different muscles and muscle groups – the tools your body needs to enhance

its performance.

Functioning as a basis, the Run lOng category offers the most comprehensive footwear range. Run TOugh,

Run nATuRAl and Run FAST complement Run lOng effectively – responding to new challenges and providing

new impulses for your run.

The miX uP yOuR Run nEWS spring / summer 2015 introduces the new technologies in all categories.

… provides a basis for every runner and consists of two subcategories that combine two key running shoe criteria, cushioning and support, at different priority levels.

RUN LONG consists of two subcategories, Neutral Cushioning and Structured Cushioning.

… engages the whole body and requires full focus due to the constantly changing ground terrain.

RUN TOUGH provides new impulses for improving coordination, and exercises different muscle groups and stamina.

… is specifically designed to facilitate natural body movement, reduce material weight, offer strong impulse response and to exercise the foot’s muscles.

RUN NATURAL consists of two subcategories, Neutral and Structured.

… is the individual, supplementary category within the ASICS running shoe range and provides new impulses for improving speed.

RUN FAST consists of two subcategories, Neutral and Structured.

Go beyond the horizon and your limits

The beauty of distance running is that you can do it anywhere, anytime. Wherever there’s a road there’s an opportunity

to work on your endurance, staying power, and perseverance. Smooth, paved surfaces are the perfect training ground for

running farther and longer. With each kilometre, you’ll get closer to your performance goals. Join the millions of runners

who put their feet to the pavement every day. And let ASICS shoes help you go the distance.

Run on the Road. Reach youR goals.

CushioninGgel™ cushioning sysTem

Cushioning and stability. These two requirements are combined in the revolutionary ASICS GEL™ SySTEm. Shock and pressure

forces are reduced, the foot is supported in bearing the load and wrong movements are prevented. The ASICS GEL™

CuShIonInG SySTEm consists of various GEL™ components. They are made from fatigue-proof silicone material resulting

in a consistently high inertia of the GEL™ components when subjected to pressure. The material’s intertia stabilises the roll-over movement upon first ground contact.

ForeFoot GeL™ CushioninG system

Enhances shock attenuation during propulsion.

rearFoot GeL™ CushioninG system

Attenuates shock during impact phase and allows for a smooth transition to midstance.

rearFoot and ForeFoot GeL™ CushioninG system

Attenuates shock during impact and toeoff phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions

through the gait cycle.

midsole mATeriAls

The midsole performs various important tasks within the overall design of a running shoe. Apart from cushioning it also prevents

wrong foot movements during ground contact. The midsole of the ASICS running shoe consists of different individual components

in order to meet these various requirements. Several degrees of hardness of the midsole components guarantee cushioning and

foot stability in the successive phases of the roll-over motion. Foam materials are used to ensure an optimum combination of

cushioning protection and stability with low weight.

Placed in the midfoot area DuomAX® is a supporting element made from midsole materials providing a higher degree of

hardness and more stability. It reduces possible overpronation ahead of the push-off phase and improves the natural motion

sequence.

versions catering for individual needs.

GuidanCe trusstiC neutraL This system with its moderate stability ensures effective roll

GuidanCe trusstiC struCtured Upon ground contact the energy is transferred into the pushoff

movement. The midfoot is particularly well supported.

propuLsion trusstiC Mimics connective tissue in the foot by creating tension as foot

enters propulsion stage.

TrussTic sysTems

The TRuSSTIC systems are a light stabilisation unit integrated into the midsole just below the arch of the foot. It connects the

rear- and the forefoot. It also supports the midfoot in the stance phase and during the preparation for the push-off phase. The

midsole is deformed in a controlled way as a direct result of the foot load. The torsional stability of the shoe remains intact, the

arch of the foot is stabilised and the sole of the foot is relieved. ultimately, this reduces the risk of injury and the running shoe

simply provides more comfort and safety.

rideflex grooves

These technologies consistently adapts to each foot movement and any running style. From impact to push-off each movement

is supported as the platform between the foot and the ground is secured in each phase. This is achieved by connecting the outer-

and midsole construction through the integrated FLEX GRoovES.

Optimal guidance and stability is achived by impact loads being absorbed and distributed across the shoe. This supports

the most efficient movement of every runner and facilitates a dynamic pushoff as well.

fluidAxis®

Anatomically correct deep FLEX GROOVES have been aligned to the joints of the foot. This innovative construction enables

the shoe to recognise, adapt, and respond to the athlete’s exact load and positional change from first impact to toe-off.

guidAnce line®

The vertical FLEX GROOVE decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency, optimal transition

rideheel grAdienT

The heel gradient is the difference in height between a shoe’s forefoot and rearfoot. A slight heel gradient promotes faster

movements at high speed, e.g. during interval training or competitions. Additionally, the movement amplitude in the

calf muscles /Achilles tendon area is increased with a slight heel gradient. This gives you a more dynamic step which

increases your speed.

heeL Gradient 3 mm This 3 mm difference in height between heel and forefoot offers

the lowest offset in the ASICS collection.

heeL Gradient 6 mm This 6 mm difference in height between heel and forefoot offers

a closer feel to the ground and promotes faster movements at high speed.

heeL Gradient 10 mm This 10 mm difference in height between heel and forefoot

offers the best biomechanical position to protect forward motion and reduces load on the achilles tendons, calf muscles,

ham string and back.

midsole consTrucTion

The system consists of two perfectly coordinated components: the combined midsole construction from two different materials,

which is very light and highly regenerative, and the placement of decoupled GEL™ cushioning elements in the front- and

rearfoot areas of the shoe. Both components are integrated into the I.G.S.™ and work together to ensure a whole new universal

adaptability in relation to the surface, foot, and running style.
