ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 Men's Running Shoes
The Gel-Pulse 17 is designed to provide the comfort you need for runs, the gym, and anything in between. To improve the underfoot cushioning experience, an extra 2mm of foam has been added from the previous iteration.
Engineered Mesh Upper
The upper of the Gel-Pulse 17 is crafted from an engineered mesh to deliver superior comfort and breathability. The mesh allows cool, fresh air to circulate, while simultaneously removing unwanted warm air to regulate temperature and create a microclimate that ensures you remain comfortable during training. A padded tongue and collar sit soft against your foot and ankle while on the move, reducing irritation and chafing. Additionally, a heel tab has been added to allow ease of entry, helping you get up and out quicker. Completing the upper, a traditional lacing system effectively locks down the midfoot for minimal in-shoe slippage.
FF BLAST Midsole
The Gel-Pulse utilises an FF Blast midsole, 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. Its reinforced, organic fibres let the material bounce back to its original shape after every run so that you can train harder, more frequently, and for longer without the worry your shoes might not be able to take it. The midsole also contains Rearfoot GEL technology, which attenuates shock during foot strike and provides a smoother transition as your foot rolls. This conserves energy and provides soft, bouncy cushioning.
AHAR Outsole
Crafted out of Asics' super sticky rubber, the outsole of the Gel-Pulse 17 consists of both AHAR and AHARPLUS rubber. The AHAR rubber can be found along the main sections of the sole, allowing you to carry on with confidence in every stride. This rubber grips over a variety of surfaces, including dry pavements and rain-slicked roads, helping you reach your goals. A highly abrasive AHARPLUS heel plug has been added to the heel area, enhancing durability and providing long-lasting reliability for predominant heel strikers.
