Asics Running Shoes

ASICS is a Japanese brand that is an acronym for the Latin phrase “Anima Sana In Corpore Sano”. In case your Latin isn’t up to speed, this means “You should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body”. ASICS’ aim is to make running shoes that help people improve their health and wellbeing through sport. We stock a wide selection of the best men’s and women’s ASICS running shoes at Run4It. While you’ll see the word Gel in the name of most ASICS running shoes, this refers to a technology and not a specific model. However, it’s what the brand has become famous for and lots of runners love ASICS running shoes because of how ASICS Gel cushioning feels. At Run4It, we have seen the evolution of this material over the years and understand how much effort is put into producing the best feeling cushioning possible. If you’re looking for the most cushioned ASICS neutral running shoes, the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 25 is the stand out option. This is because it’s made with a thick rocker-like midsole and PureGel cushioning. PureGel is ASICS’ most cushioned Gel material. As PureGel is placed in the heel of the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 25, it’s perfect for heel strikers. The midsole geometry reduces the stress placed on calf muscles and improves forward momentum. What more could you want for your easy runs and long distances? The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 25 also features PureGel cushioning in the heel. However, the ASICS Gel-Cumulus 25 is a little bit firmer than the ASICS Gel-Nimbus 25. This is by design though. While the ASICS Gel-Cumulus 25 feels very cushioned, it’s more responsive and energetic than its softer big brother. While some runners may simply prefer this sensation, the ASICS Gel-Cumulus 25 feels good at a broad range of paces. We recommend it for slow runs, recovery miles and some steadier paced efforts. In our experience, the ASICS GT-1000 11 offers a high level of support. It features a denser block of foam on the medial portion of the midsole. This is very effective at reducing greater ranges of pronation. We think the ASICS GT-1000 11 is a great option for runners who struggle with lower leg pain as a result of ankle instability. The ASICS GT-2000 11 is the most popular ASICS stability running shoes. It feels light, cushioned, and lots of runners love the fit. Its adaptive support system works well if you have differences between your feet and legs. If you’re looking for the most cushioned ASICS stability running shoes, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 29 is the right choice. This model has always been one of ASICS’ most loved running shoes and each edition gets updated with the brand's most advanced technologies. We also stock children’s ASICS running shoes at Run4It. The ASICS kids’ Gel-Cumulus 24 GS running shoes are available in a choice of colours.
