ASICS Gel-Glorify 5 Running Shoes
The ASICS Gel-Glorify 5 running shoe is a long-distance trainer that offers lightweight stability and cushioning for a variety of running workouts.
Mesh Upper
Mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Lightweight and highly breathable for all-temperature comfort, the mesh acts as a lightweight second skin, providing a supportive and comfortable fit. Its perforated construction allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, letting your feet breathe when the temperature starts to rise or your training session heats up. The upper is tightened and loosened in certain areas to allow for the foot's natural motion, working with you as you train for everything from morning runs to challenging marathons. The traditional lacing system provides the perfect comfort and fit, especially in the ankle and heel area; it helps to anchor you to the midsole and reduce in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth distraction-free strides.
FlyteFoam Midsole
The midsole of the Gel-Glorify 5 Running Shoe has been constructed using FlyteFoam which provides the perfect balance of lightweight and rebound properties. These layers of protection, bounce, and comfort provide you with unmatched shock absorption and a lively ride. FlyteFoam is the lightest cushioning material ASICS has ever made, 55% lighter than the industry standard, EVA and it buffers against the ground to protect you from unnecessary stress and fatigue. FlyteFoam Propel also resides in the midsole and works to reduce shock during the impact phase, sparing your joints as you sprint down onto hard, unforgiving concrete, and allowing for a smooth transition to mid-stance. Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Cushioning Systems work with the midsole to reduce shock during the impact phase.
AHAR Plus Outsole
Supreme grip and traction are guaranteed with the AHAR Plus outsole. ASICS' high abrasion rubber is a tough rubber compound used in heavy-contact or high-wear areas which helps to cut down on excessive wear. The high abrasion outsole provides a strong grip and works to protect itself from damage and protect users from losing control and slipping. Creating a strong bond with the ground beneath it, the outsole allows you to stay in full control at all times. This exceptionally durable compound is 50% more durable than standard ASICS High Abrasion Rubber.
