Asics Glideride Max 2 Men's Running Shoes
The Glideride Max 2 offers a smooth and balanced ride, so you can effortlessly glide through your runs.
Engineered Woven Upper
Keep your feet cool and comfortable thanks to the engineered mesh upper. With strategically placed micro-perforations featured over the material, good airflow is provided to keep you feeling fresh throughout. The double layered upper provides excellent structure and durability to your runs for high confidence. Asics have included a heel tab on the back of the upper for easy slip-on assistance to get you up and out as quickly as possible. A flat laying, gusset type tongue has been added to ensure minimal irritation and in-shoe slippage while on the move for a distraction free run. This works in collaboration with the traditional lacing system to lock down the midfoot for a snug fit.
FF BLAST PLUS and MAX Midsole
Featuring FF BLAST PLUS foam which is a softer and lighter evolution to its predecessor, the lower layer maintains high responsiveness but introduces more smoothness and fatigue resistance for longer runs. While the FF BLAST MAX layer sits atop, this is one of Asics most energetic midsoles, complimented with a cloud-like softness and a responsive energy return in each step. By absorbing shock as you strike down on unforgiving surfaces, the MAX foam in turn releases building pressure as you step into your next stride, providing highly propulsive energy return. Embedded between the two layers sits a hard press EVA plate, assisting in delivering sharper toe-offs with less effort, keeping your focus on what is ahead and not what is beneath your feet. This is further improved by Asics GUIDESOLE technology to lessen fatigue, due to the curved sole design and stiff forefoot, ankle flexion is reduced meaning other leg muscles work less. An EVA sockliner sits on top of the midsole for added cushioning and support during performance.
HYBRID ASICSGRIP Outsole
Combining ASICSGRIP rubber and AHARPLUS materials, the Glideride Max 2 has advanced grip for various terrains and durability. Focusing the rubber specifically in areas of high traction while removing it from the centre of the foot, keeps good grip covered whilst reducing the overall weight of the shoe. As well as this it can create a strong bond with any ground beneath it, helping you stay in full control. This is combined with ASICSGRIP. The world-beating ASICSGRIP technology uses a combination of rubber and specially engineered outsole patterns to provide the perfect grip on any surface.
