ASICS Gel Contend 7, main features

Aimed at neutral runners looking to complete daily runs on the road at fairly relaxed paces, these Gel Contend 7 from ASICS Running are in the most economical segment of the Japanese brand's catalogue. Despite the price, they do not compromise on quality performance, featuring some of the most cutting-edge technology available. Without further ado, let's take a closer look.

The AMPLIFOAM midsole in this model guarantees excellent shock absorption. In addition, for greater comfort, the Japanese company's designers have again opted to include the ORTHOLITE insole. The shoe's heel area features ASICS' leading cushioning technology, GEL technology, which increases the degree of comfort when in contact with the training surface.

Thanks to the presence of GUIDANCE LINE technology, neutral runners will enjoy a more natural and consistent stride.

The upper of the ASICS Gel Contend 7 has been designed with a lightweight and breathable engineered mesh. With a very similar design to the previous model, the ASICS Gel Contend 6, this shoe focuses on getting that full range of motion when running. Synthetic stitching on the upper further accentuates the supportive running feel.

The outsole includes flex grooves that increase the shoe's flexibility while running. This application promotes smoother transitions throughout the stride cycle. In terms of grip and adherence, this model has been optimised for running on tarmac.
