Solyte

Solyte is a proprietary cushioning material used for the midsole of the running shoe. Solyte is lightweight, durable and has excellent bounce-back qualities, providing a comfortable platform to run on. Solyte's impressive shock-absorbing properties help distribute the impact forces of running. As the foot passes through the gait cycle the material compresses to absorb shock and 'bounces back' during propulsion. When the shoe is not in use, it fully decompresses to ensure a full bounce-back feel every time you run. Solyte helps create a smooth, comfortable run, with less shock on the feet and legs, minimising fatigue and reducing the chance of injury.

3M Reflective

3M scotchlite (a registered trademark of the 3M Company) reflective material enhances visibility during low light hours.

Forefoot GEL

ASICS GEL is a silicone-based cushioning system designed to meet the needs of both professional and recreational athletes. Forefoot GEL reduces the loading forces as the foot moves into propulsion, improving performance and minimising the risk of injury.

Gender Specific Space Trusstic

The Gender Specific Space Trusstic System provides the female foot with the right levels of support and flexibility as it moves through the gait cycle. It achieves this through a strategically placed pocket of space between the Trusstic device and the layer of midsole under the foot arch. As the foot moves through the complex motions of running, it makes use of the principle of the windlass mechanism. With every propulsion, the foot acts as a rigid lever, tightening the plantar fascia and heightening the foot arch. The Space Trusstic System works with this natural movement of the foot. As the plantar fascia tightens and presses downward, it can press freely against the midsole which can bend into the space pocket. The hard plastic Trusstic device maintains support while allowing the foot to move efficiently. The result is greater comfort and a more efficient foot function during running. The Gender Specific Space Trusstic uses a thinner, more flexible midsole than the male version, so that the female foot can flex it sufficiently and take full advantage of the system.
