An outstanding image update to this shoe. Not only is the GEL-Speed Star 5 lighter it has outstanding eye appeal. An all over welded PU on the mesh gives it a very unique image.
New lacing design taken from Biomorphic upper principals. Follows the natural contours of the foot to provide improved fit & comfort during gait.
A reflective material produced by the 3M company for night safety.
An EVA sockliner moulded to the shape of the foot, which can be removed to accommodate a medical orthotic.
ASICS new proprietary midsole material takes on a new role as a lasting technology, enhancing comfort by improved cushioning through the use of three different densities: 45 density for high cushion and flexibility.
New proprietary midsole material, which is lighter than ASICS’ standard EVA and SpEVA, combined with improved cushioning and durability.
New blown AHAR outsole material. Delivers enhanced cushioning, durability and ride to the forefoot.
The ASICS GEL System is probably the most famous of all our innovations. To bring about the highest possible shock absorbing effect, the GEL-units are strategically placed in the midsole of the shoe. For the ASICS GEL cushioning system various materials are used. Depending on its function, the GEL-unit contains a siliconebased porous foam, a silicone GEL or a semi-solid silicone substance encapsulated in polyurethane. The shape of the units are also precisely designed to the specific function and position.
Moulded component under the midfoot area. Provides over-pronation control in combination with extremely contoured midsoles. Also reduces the weight of the shoe.
