Asics Footwear

This footwear is the most well-known brand of running shoes produced in Japan. The term ASICS is an abbreviation that stands for the Latin phrase “Anima Sana in Corpore Sano,” which translates to “Healing the Mind While Healing the Body.” Kirachiro Onitsuka established the company in 1949. Asics is responsible for producing some of the most well-known and widely used running shoes in the world, including the padded Cumulus and Nimbus series as well as the Kayano and GT series.

The assortment of running shoes produced by Asics is really astounding; given that the company's primary concentration is on running, they provide a wide variety of styles to accommodate a diverse range of runners. They also feature different categories in their Asics mens footwear and Asics womens footweat sections.

Design and make of Asics footwear

As other shoe manufacturers have done, Asics has moved beyond EVA foam with its own cushioning technology, which it calls FlyteFoam. This material is further improved into subdivisions of FlyteFoam Propel, which incorporates a unique elastomer to boost energy return, and FlyteFoam Lyte, which is an even lighter-weight variant of the original FlyteFoam, which was formulated to be lighter and more robust than ordinary EVA. More recently, Asics created the lightweight and buoyant FlyteFoam Blast formulation. This new material is utilized to provide the NovaBlast shoe a very pillowy and propellant ride.

FlyteFoam Blast Turbo is the company's most recent innovation in foam, and it can be found in the racing-oriented MetaSpeed Sky. This innovative foam makes use of nylon, which can be compressed easily yet quickly returns to its natural form.

Foam is not the only innovative technology offered by Asics. GuideSole, which premiered on the MetaRide, is another of the company's latest advancements. A rocker-based sole composition is designed to assist runners in rolling through their stride and minimizing ankle mobility for a more efficient form. During testing, we discovered that the shoe is quite stiff and hefty, but the well-cushioned rocker provides a smooth and stable ride with a remarkable snap and responsiveness.

Various types of Asics sneakers

The new shoes attract new customers, and the older models like the GT-2000, Kayano, and Nimbus keep existing customers satisfied.

Specifically, you might refer to the 'Lite' variants of popular footwear such as the Nimbus and Kayano. In addition to the standard Nimbus 24 and Kayano 28, the Nimbus Lite 3 and Kayano Lite 2 exist.

These are the variants without the plastic shank and visible Gel pads, as their names imply. In our opinion, these Lite versions have the potential to eventually replace the normal editions.
