ASICS Glideride 3

The new ASICS Glideride 3 are already on the market, and at RUNNEA we take this opportunity to tell you about all the new features that this top of the range cushioning brings with it to face the most demanding distances on asphalt. This third interaction is a turning point as it incorporates FlyteFoam Blast+ foam in the construction of its midsole, a compound that ensures a high level of rebound and exceptional energy return in each workout.

These running shoes maintain their characteristic rocker geometry that propels the runner forward. Added to this is the innovative Guidesole technology to reduce ankle flexion and lighten the load, which means training sessions with less effort. Optimized for neutral runners looking for a superior level of cushioning over medium to long distances, the ASICS Glideride 3 incorporates the latest technology and materials from the Japanese company.

ASICS Glideride 3, main features

Major changes in these Glideride 3 from ASICS Running. A model that incorporates for the first time the FlyteFoam Blast+ foam in the midsole with the aim of pursuing a more dynamic and enjoyable running experience. Still lacking official confirmation to know all the details of this latest update, early rumors point to:

FlyteFoam Blast+ foam midsole instead of the FlyteFoam foam present in the previous model, the ASICS Glideride 2. The aim of this change is to ensure greater rebound and cushioning capacity, so that the runner goes even further with less effort. A model that continues to stand out for its stability and lightness.

A priori, the upper will not have any significant changes compared to the previous models. A lightweight and breathable engineered mesh for improved comfort and fit. The design line will remain unchanged; the hallmark of this successful ASICS Running saga. Although it is true that this technical mesh with 3D printing provides more resistance and protection against external elements, while the jacquard fabric in the upper area offers a softer and more adaptable wrap, improving the breathability of the model.

It is also true that in the upper of this third edition of the ASICS Glideride, that strategic part of the upper has also been made with a series of recycled materials with the purpose of reducing waste and carbon emissions,

The outsole does not appear to have any changes. The Japanese company's product designers have opted to include the rubber compound that guarantees impeccable performance on asphalt and exceptional durability.

ASICS Glideride 3, technical specifications

In the technical specifications chapter, the ASICS Glideride 3 have a 6-millimeter drop, and weights of 266 grams for the men's version and 231 grams for women's running shoes.

The main protagonism of this third interaction lies in the configuration of its midsole, since they have chosen to include the FlyteFoam Blast+ compound.
