Updated GEL Geometry

ASICS reconstructs the shape of the Scutoid GEL™ units so they can deform more effectively under pressure.

Direct Underfoot Placement

GEL pods are positioned beneath key areas of the foot rather than functioning only as external visual elements.

Pressure-Informed Design

The cushioning arrangement was developed using foot-pressure testing data to improve force distribution.

Visible Technology

Deep blue cushioning visible through the sculpted sole also forms an important part of the sneaker's futuristic design.

Soft Underfoot Feel

FF BLAST™ PLUS foam contributes additional cushioning for comfortable everyday movement.

Energized Sensation

The foam provides a more responsive feel than a basic flat lifestyle midsole.

Works with GEL™

FF BLAST™ PLUS combines with the Scutoid GEL™ system to create the distinctive GEL-KINETIC™ 2.0 cushioning platform.

Daily Comfort

The substantial cushioning works well for walking, travel, commuting and extended casual wear.

TRUSSTIC™ Technology

Structural support through the midfoot helps improve stability within the heavily cushioned platform.

CLUTCH COUNTER

The heel support structure is designed to provide a better foothold around the rear of the shoe.

Visible Technical Architecture
