GEL-DS RACER 9

Under the hood

• 3M Reflective

  3M scotchlite (a registered trademark of the 3M Company) reflective material enhances visibility during low light hours.

• Visible Rearfoot GEL

  ASICS GEL is a silicone-based cushioning system designed to meet the needs of both professional and recreational athletes. Rearfoot GEL provides cushioning in all directions, absorbs impact forces and helps to stabilise the foot during heel contact. The GEL in the heel is left exposed in this case.

• Trusstic System

  The Trusstic System is a light-weight moulded component which links the rearfoot and forefoot and shores the midfoot as it prepares for propulsion.

• I.G.S.

  The Impact Guidance System (IGS) is an ASICS design philosophy. It aims to make shoe components from rear to midfoot and forefoot to work together effectively to allow the body to perform in a natural manner. ASICS designers strive to compliment, not correct, how the legs and feet move.

• Solyte

  Solyte is a proprietary cushioning material that provides an exceptionally lightweight midsole with excellent bounce-back and durability.

• DuoMax

  DuoMax is an ASICS proprietary system consisting of two or more different density midsole materials, designed to help correct the degree and velocity of pronation.

• AHAR+

  ASICS High Abrasion Resistance Rubber (AHAR) is a tough compound used at the heavy contact area of the outsole, for example the heel. It helps to reduce excessive wear. AHAR+ is a lighter version of AHAR.
