Space Trusstic System

The Space Trusstic System provides the 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.

GEL avant

Concept révolutionnaire d’amorti mis au point en 1986, il transforme l’onde de choc générée par l’impact au sol en énergie positive. Un volume et une densité calculés au plus juste conservent toute sa stabilité à la chaussure, le pied suit la trajectoire idéale. A base de silicone, le concept GEL ASICS ne perd pas ses capacités avec le temps, ses performances restent constantes.

Gender Specific Forefoot Cushioning

Gender Specific Forefoot Cushioning refers to the inclusion of specially formulated Solyte material in the forefoot. The material's density is reduced, allowing the female foot to compress it sufficiently and benefit fully from the bounce-back qualities of Solyte. Traditionally, women's running shoes contained cushioning material of the same density as men's. However, as women are usually lighter than men, the female foot would not fully compress the material, resulting in a less than optimal ride. Gender Specific Forefoot Cushioning addresses this issue and provides women with a more comfortable and responsive ride. The cushioning material, located under the ball of the foot and extending across the width of the shoe, also acts as an efficient shock absorber.

Guidance Line

L’Automatic Guidance Line est caractérisé par une encoche visible dans la semelle intermédiaire et dans la semelle de contact avec le sol. Cette encoche suit le centre de pression du pied depuis le talon jusqu’aux orteilles. Ceci permet d’obtenir une chaussure de course plus ajustable, créant à chaque foulée une transition plus douce entre la phase d’impact et celle d’impulsion. Ainsi, l’Automatic Guidance Line aide les coureurs à conserver un geste naturel et efficace, particulièrement sur les longues distances.

Plus3

Plus3 refers to a 3mm raise of the heel compared to the forefoot. The effect this has is to reduce strain on the Achilles tendon. As women's hormonal levels fluctuate during their monthly cycle, the Achilles tendon becomes lax or stretches, increasing the potential for injury. Plus3 reduces the load and tension on the Achilles tendon and reduces the risk of injuries.

Soft Top DuoMax

Soft Top Duomax is a softer top layer of the Duomax midsole. Together with the Gender Specific Space Trusstic, Soft Top Duomax accommodates for fluctuations in women's hormonal levels which cause the foot arches to be lowered, creating more pressure on the plantar fascia. By using a lower-density material, Soft Top Duomax provides a more comfortable transition from heel strike to toe-off without sacrificing stability.
