Asics Trainers

Sneakers have become an integral part of modern man's wardrobe. This shoes from a purely sports attribute has become truly versatile and for leisure, for walking, nature trips, everyday wear.

Truly sports sneakers today are not just shoes, but a whole technological development in which every detail matters.

One of the world leaders in the production of sports sneakers is the Japanese brand Asics.

Asics has existed since 1949. Headquartered in Japan. The company got its abbreviation from a winged expression in Latin “Healthy mind in a healthy body”.

The main asset of this brand is a scientific institute of sports in the Japanese city of Kobe, which explores and develops innovative technologies and materials for its brand of sports shoes and clothing.

The range of products of the Asics brand is focused on special sports shoes for professional sports: various types of jogging, basketball, volleyball. The company also specializes in clothing and equipment for professional and amateur sports.

The main promoter arm of the brand is to participate in world, continental and regional competitions, as well as sponsoring teams, teams and federations in some sports.

First, the company was engaged in the development and manufacture of running shoes. Gradually, the range has expanded, as well as the model range with innovative manufacturing technologies and excellent consumer qualities.

The company's motto is functionality and high quality, comfort in achieving high results in sports.

The undoubted advantages of Asics sneakers include the following factors:

1. Comfort and anatomicality.
2. Security.
3. Ease.
4. Innovative materials and unique shoe structure technology.
5. Durability.

All Asics sneakers can be divided into several categories:

• By sports or priority areas.
• By type of pronation.
• In terms of depreciation, stiffness.

There is still a difference in the target audience: for professional sports, for amateurs, for men and women, for the fullness of the legs.

The main types of models also differ in the localization of Asicsgel technology in sneakers.

The most popular models are the GEL series: Asics Gel-Cumulus 15, Gel-Plus, Gel-Emperor, Gel-Flux, Gel-Nimbus, etc. The main technology in this series is Asics gel, “California” or “Stability” pad, insole EVA or orthopedic. Such models are very comfortable and light.

Sneakers for long-distance running are represented by the model Gel-Kayano. In this model, everything is thought out to the smallest detail to help a person achieve high results with the maximum comfortable shoe, with the technology of "sliding motion", an exoskeleton backdrop and discrete loops.

Another no less popular line of models is the GT series: GT-1000, GT-2000, etc. This is the most advanced line of models, which has even more comfortable properties, perfectly support the foot during loads, perfectly absorb due to the optimal distribution of the gel in the sole.

Great importance is attached to models by the type of pronation: excess, normal and insufficient.For each type of pronation, models have been developed that help to avoid problems and avoid injury.

By depreciation and stiffness, the division of models is conditional and closely intertwined with the type of pronation of the foot, a sport. But there are certain models in which the depreciation and stiffness of the sneakers are put in the first place.

The breakthrough of the Asics brand into world leaders in the production of sports sneakers is considered to be the creation of a unique Asics Gel shock-absorbing system in the late 80s. last century. This technology most effectively reduces the load on the human body during active movements.

Two more mainstream Asics technologies - DuoTech material and BiomorphicEvolution technology made this brand recognizable and leading in the world.

Other Asics sneaker features:

• The system allows you to distribute the blow, in other words, the load on the individual characteristics of the foot.
• The "Trasstik" system is a molded part under the center of a running shoe in the sole, designed to prevent the twisting of the sole and its stability.
• “SpaceTrastik” - this system of air retention between the “Trasstik” layer and the middle sole.

• The intermediate sole includes two materials of different density and corrects, if necessary, excessive pronation. Pronation - the natural deviation of the foot inside when moving. Distinguish between normal pronation, insufficient and excessive pronation.
• “Sliding motion” - this technology is a special material of the mid-sole, which is restored after the load and has excellent shock absorption. FluidRide is light and durable. It is used in advanced and top models.
• Middle longitudinal, dividing line on the sole. Repeats the ideal trajectory of pressure on the foot. With such a sole, the level of fatigue decreases and the risk of injury decreases.

• Goretex membrane fabric - top fabric with waterproof effect 3M Reflective - is used in sneakers with a light-reflecting effect glowing in the dark.
• "Rhinoceros" is a special development of artificial leather with high wear-resistant properties to protect the toe of the shoe.
• The tongue with anti-mud effect - due to its special structure does not allow dirt and dust to penetrate inside the shoe.
• Asymmetric lacing - allows you to firmly fix the foot, reduces pressure on the foot from the shoe and prevents wear of the shoe loops. And also loops of discrete type are made independently on the grid, which allows not to rub the foot under loads, to avoid friction, and also comfortably fixes the foot.
• A pocket located on the sneaker's tongue allows you to hide the ends of the lace.

• AHAR, AHAR - special rubber, which is the result of Asics own development with high wear resistance.
• AHAR +, AHAR + - rubber with a high level of wear resistance - a lighter variation of AXAP, which prolongs the durability of sneakers.
• Rubber soles with improved traction with a wet surface
• Special rubber for the hall - used in sneakers for the halls, is distributed to the most active areas of the sole.

• The “stability” block is designed to keep the foot in one state with changing surface, irregularities. Increases protection against injury.
• The “California” block is a special type of anchorage of the top with the sole by means of a stitched seam.
• The “Competition” block is called so because it is an ideal block with a maximum level of depreciation and a minimum weight.
• Pad "Lightness" - a special design pads, giving flexibility and lightness sneakers.
• EVA is a shock-absorbing insole that regulates moisture and heat dissipation.

• Discrete outsole - allows you to evenly distribute the load on the ankle and control its motion vector.
• Exoskeleton backdrop for stable fixation and support of the foot.
• “Magic sole” is a ventilated sole layer that facilitates the overall weight of the shoe.

• SpEVA is a foamy substance in the middle layer of the soles for improved shape recovery under compression and to prevent breakdowns. It differs in hardness in ascending order of numbers - Speva 45, Speva 55, Speva 65.
• Solayt is a mid-sole material, lighter than EVA and SpEva, which retains its shock-absorbing properties for a longer period of time and recovers under compression. There are different densities, denoted by the figures - 45 (soft hardness), 55 (medium hardness), 65 (high hardness).

• Uneven protection plate - located in the center of the sole to protect against sharp stones and any irregularities.

All these technologies are aimed at different types of activities - sprint, marathon, cross-country running, parkour, volleyball, tennis, badminton, jumping, handball, basketball. As well as models are developed for specific types of conditions - hall, street, asphalt, sand, etc.

The color gamut of Asics sneakers is very rich in shades and color compatibility. Female models are lighter and brighter: white, pink, lilac, lime, yellow, various color combinations.

Male models are more reserved in color - blue, black and white, red, green, black, gray, etc.

A distinctive feature in the Asics sneakers is the presence of curved stripes on the sidewalls resembling the letter “A”.

Also in the Asics sneakers used reflective elements, contrasting laces, perforation.

The size range of Asics sneakers does not coincide with the Russian, but is focused on American and European sizes. Because it is very important not to make a mistake when choosing your size. For this there are special tables and dimensional grids.

In order to choose the perfect Asics sneakers you need to take into account such moments:

• Decide for what kind of sport you need sneakers.
• Decide for which surface - soil, sand, asphalt, uneven terrain, hall, court, etc.
• Determine your type of pronation of the foot.
• Size - it is not recommended to choose sneakers butt, you need to pay attention to the sneakers on the floor size, the size is larger. Here you need to decide on the fullness of the leg, i.e. with foot width. Sneakers should sit comfortably, not to press, not to constrain.
• Weight sneakers, color, functional structure.

By adhering to these recommendations, the choice becomes much more effective.

Real Asics sneakers are an order of magnitude higher than regular ones. This is perhaps their only minus. But, having bought such sneakers, they will become a real boon for athletes and sports enthusiasts - comfort, manufacturability and high quality fully justify their price.

1. An erroneous opinion would be that lacing does not play a role in comfort and the way to achieve high performance. Proper lacing is very important for fixing the foot, while lacing should not be “slushy” or very tight.
2. Proper lacing allows you to avoid unleashing the laces during loads.
3. Lacing should be done only on worn sneakers and with a slightly asymmetrical slope to the inside of the foot. When removing sneakers lacing need to untie.
4. After lacing, you need to do a few rolling movements of the foot with the toe on the heel and the ankle to the side - if you never pull and rub anywhere, then the lacing is done correctly.
5. It is better to use cotton non-slip laces, as they are not untied and fix stronger than synthetic ones.
6. In almost all models of sneakers there are additional loops for laces at the end of the main row. These loops are intended for additional fixing and tightening of the laces so that they are not untied.
7. Asics sneakers use special pockets for laces so that nothing interferes with your activities.As well as special discrete loops allow you to properly lace up the sneakers to comfortably and securely support the foot during movements.

Reviews of Asics sneakers really confirm their lightness, comfort and manufacturability. Once having bought sneakers of this brand, many athletes remain committed only to this brand. High quality, reasonableness of every detail, ease allow you to use these sneakers for different running, indoor sports.

Asics sneakers are preferred by athletes and sports enthusiasts around the world. And all these shoes cause positive feedback. Among the minuses is called only the high cost relative to other brands.
