ASICS Gel-Contend 5 Running Shoes

These ASICS Gel-Contend 5 Running Shoes are comfortable and cushioned, keeping your feet stable and helping you run further.

Breathable Athletic Mesh Upper

The Gel-Contend 5 Running Shoes are constructed with an athletic mesh upper that encases each foot in breathable comfort. The mesh allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, providing a constant supply of fresh, cool air while simultaneously forcing out hot, muggy air. They additionally aid moisture management, wicking sweat and excess moisture as it's produced and transfers it to the outer layers where it can be easily evaporated, keeping your feet cool, dry and comfortable. Furthermore, the upper features durable layered construction that not only provide excellent durability but also reduces the chances of chafing and skin irritation. The layers work to rub against each other instead of against the skin, therefore, reducing distractions. The upper offers a supportive fit that ties in with the internal heel counter that works hard to prevent shoe slipping from occurring. The heel counter locks the heel in place to ensure a tight foothold to give you the confidence to run fast and hard. Lastly, the upper offers an EVA sock liner that provides plush step-in comfort as well as aids moisture management further, creating the best environment for the feet to thrive in.

EVA Midsole

The midsole offers ASICS' unique GEL Cushioning System which is placed in the forefoot to supply bounce back and shock absorption; sparing your joints as you volley and lob, and leap and land on unforgiving surfaces, allowing for smooth transitions and movement in multiple planes. Furthermore, an EVA midsole compound is not only super-cushioned and responsive but it keeps its shape over time and usage, allowing the compound to be just as effective in the last few miles as it is in the first few.

Durable Rubber Outsole

The Gel-Content 5 Running Shoes offer a Durable rubber outsole that supplies improved grip on a variety of court surfaces. Having durability and traction enables you to make short, sharp movements without placing strain on your body. The durable rubber is placed in high wear areas of the outsole to allow the shoes to last longer on unforgiving surfaces.
