ASICS Glideride 2

Within the successful ASICS Ride family, which has come to revolutionize the running universe, the Japanese brand has already launched the new update of one of its most acclaimed models, the ASICS GlideRide 2. A training shoe that comes with certain improvements to continue maintaining those hallmarks of maximum cushioning and efficiency, which we have already seen in its original version. The idea is none other than to maximize the running experience in every long-distance training session.

Within the Energy Saving range with the Japanese brand's own seal, these ASICS GlideRide 2 are presented asRunning shoes shoes whose main mission is to help the runner to run a greater volume of kilometers for longer, and more efficiently. If there is something non-negotiable in this model is the Guidesole technology with that curved midsole design in the front area to achieve a more fluid movement, and therefore able to be more efficient because it helps reduce leg fatigue in each stride that is advanced.

What new features are the new ASICS GlideRide 2 expected to bring?

As we have already seen in the original version of the ASICS GlideRide, the geometry of this second version of the GlideRide helps, in a direct way, to create that feeling of running with less effort, thanks to increased traction and durability, but also making use of that line of orientation of the midsole to enjoy much smoother transitions.

Thus, everything points to ASICS designers continuing to go for that dual-layer midsole with the innovative FlyteFoam foam. Although it is also true that this configuration also has its evolution of the material in a greater compression, while merging homogeneously to offer a greater degree of stability. Something that contributes to these ASICS GlideRide 2 appeases the criticism that the ASICS GlideRide has received from the beginning.

Beyond that energy savings they transfer in every stride, this GlideRide 2 also have one of their keys in that proposed gender-specific fit, including a lower density foam in these women's running shoes, and that offers a softer underfoot feel.

As far as the upper of the ASICS GlideRide 2 is concerned, it follows the path set by the iconic ASICS Gel Kayano 27, and also includes that engineered upper with a more breathable and comfortable technical mesh design. Although, in this strategic point of the shoe, 3D printing also contributes its grain of sand to shape a more adaptive structure to the shape of the foot, but also offers greater support in the area. In short, superior fit and comfort from the first kilometer to the last.

ASICS GlideRide 2, a high-performance daily training shoe

Despite the improvements introduced, the updated ASICS GlideRide 2 respects the philosophy of the first model, aimed at neutral runners looking for a daily training shoe with maximum efficiency, comfort, softness and also capable of providing the best shock absorption capacity for high mileage.

Same technical specifications as in the original model, which make it clear that we are talking about a low profile model with a drop of 5 millimeters, and really light with weights of 285 grams in the male model, and 230 grams for the female version.

With the scientific endorsement that the ASICS Glideride 2 is capable of saving energy in the long term, by reducing energy expenditure in each phase of the stride cycle, this new version has a smoother ride with an upper that improves fit. All in all, updated design with ASICS' trademark spirit of customization.
