ASICS Gel Zaraca 5

Since 1990, when the Sports Science Research Institute was opened in Kobe City, many technological innovations in both running shoes and apparel have emerged from the ASICS laboratory. Here, specialists work closely with athletes and coaches to create the best products. All efforts are aimed at honoring ASICS' corporate philosophy: to be the number one brand in sports footwear.

Among the wide range of Running shoes is the Asics Gel Zaraca 5. This model is ideal for any training session, and the new version of the well-known model features an upper that has been redesigned to increase mesh coverage to make the shoe more breathable and comfortable.

The Asics Gel Zaraca 5 offers a natural running style but with good cushioning and protection. They work well as a transitional shoe for those who want to try natural running in a versatile shoe, but still ensure an optimal level of protection.

Breathability and support, guaranteed

As for the upper construction of the ASICS Gel Zaraca 5, it has been crafted with transparent mesh, this type of material offers generous breathability. Importantly, its mesh structure allows warm air to escape from the model, while the latter at the same time is flooded with fresh air, which helps create a more comfortable internal environment for the runner.

Synthetic overlays stabilize the foot, minimize stress and twisting in the upper. All of this is intended to provide a higher level of support as opposed to a natural running shoe.

Reflective elements complete the upper to provide high visibility during low-light training sessions, for added stability and comfort, the upper is stitched around a piece of EVA rubber which is attached directly to the midsole. The interior of the upper features padding inside the tongue and heel collar.

A Sockliner Comfordry insole has also been incorporated, this insole offers maximum cushioning as well as moisture wicking properties, leaving the feet feeling fresh, dry and comfortable, while eliminating odors thanks to the insole's antibacterial properties. The insole is removable and can be replaced with an orthopedic type, should the user require additional support.

Smoother transition

The midsole of the Asics Gel Zaraca 5 is designed to be lightweight yet functional, the EVA foam midsole that has been incorporated into the design features collapsible flex grooves. These grooves help absorb shock and disperse it across the platform for a smooth transition through the training cycle.

In manufacturing the outsole ASICS has used the tough and reliable AHAR carbon rubber, this high quality rubber ensures long-lasting performance, which withstands training on road, gravel and also on the track.
