The arrival on the market of the latest update to Asics' successful and iconic GT 1000 saga, the Asics GT 1000 8, brings with it important changes that enhance the runner's running experience. A more breathable upper and superior cushioning thanks to the FlyteFoam® Lyte technology midsole. A model that continues to be a benchmark and a sure valor for those pronator runners looking to enjoy the maximum stability and cushioning possible during the most demanding runs.
The Asics GT 1000 8 Running shoes continue to be an absolute reference for runners who demand superior cushioning and stability while running. The Japanese firm ratifies its commitment to the first level technological framework already present in previous versions but, this time, adding extra support and breathability. Without further ado, let's get right into the analysis of the features present in this new installment of the successful GT 1000 series from Asics.
The eighth version of the GT 1000 from Asics incorporates the innovative, reactive and lightweight Flytefoam Lyte midsole, which provides superior and durable cushioning regardless of the amount of kilometers to be completed. SpEVA material also continues to be present in this area of the shoe, which increases energy return during running.
The Japanese company's star cushioning system, the GEL system, continues to be present in the heel area of this pronation shoe for superior shock absorption. In addition, thanks to the Duomax support system, the support and stability of the shoe is significantly improved, for greater sensitivity during training and to avoid over-pronation. It is also important to note the presence of the Guidance Trusstic system that reduces the weight of the shoe as a whole and, thanks to the impact guidance system, IGS, favors more fluid and dynamic transitions.
The main novelty compared to its predecessor, the Asics GT 1000 7, is concentrated in the upper. The upper has been updated and is now more breathable. In addition, it also has extra reinforcements in the midfoot area for a more accentuated support.
The outsole present in this latest update, the AHAR outsole, an acronym for ASICS High Abrasion Rubber, offers greater resistance to abrasion in the areas of greatest wear, thus increasing the lifespan of the model.
The arrival on the market of the latest update of Asics' iconic model for overpronators, the Asics GT 1000 8, has not gone unnoticed. A model that incorporates one of the lightest and most reactive midsoles on the market and has improved the breathability of its upper with the aim of improving the runner's running experience. A model that is once again a safe valor for those runners who demand greater stability in the race. As far as the technical specifications are concerned, it is worth mentioning a 9mm drop.
