ADAPTIVE TECHNOLOGY

We are the leaders in technical footwear development. Testament to this is the Impact Guidance System. IGS Adaptive Technology comprises a series of interrelated components designed to work together to achieve a specific characteristic for a given activity. IGS allows the foot to perform in a more natural manner for the intended sport - by delivering superior ride, comfort and performance.

Solyte
Solyte is an all-new advanced copolymer with extraordinary weight saving properties due to its low density. It weighs 30% less than ASICS SpEVA, and 50% less than standard EVA midsole material. In addition, Solyte’s unique mechanical properties far exceed the most stringent standards for tensile strength, elongation at failure, tear strength, compression set, energy return and shock attenuation.

‘Twist’ GEL Cushioning System
Twist GEL is a cushioning system that responds, in multiple directions. As the load is applied, the GEL “Twists” in a screw-down type action which dampens the impact load more efficiently. Twist GEL behaves in much the same way as the fatty tissue in the sole of the human foot. The result?.... responsiveness... efficiency.... performance and a brilliant ride.

Space Trusstic System with V-Trusses
V-Trusses are designed to increase torsional rigidity without compromising the windlass mechanics effect. V-Trusses are added according to the amount of rigidity required – the more V-Trusses the more torsional rigidity to the shoe. The system is then classified according to its category; light bracing for the cushioning category; medium bracing for the structured cushioning category; and maximum bracing for the maximum support category.

Spacemaster-UV
Spacemaster-UV utilises a complex cross-shaped polyester lightweight ceramic filament. A normal polyester filament is round and solid, however the Spacemaster-UV has four deep channels running the entire length making it 30% lighter. The unique channel pattern also helps to wick away moisture and promote faster drying. The ceramic composition has reflective properties that shield the UV rays, creating a cooler shoe environment.

AHAR Ride +
A new blown rubber outsole material offering brilliant ride characteristics. It also enhances durability and flexibility to the forefoot area of our top end running models.
