ASICS Gel-Braid 2 Running Shoes

Experience speed and softness with the GEL-Braid 2.

Breathable Mesh Upper

Constructed using a Breathable Mesh Upper, the ASICS Gel-Braid 2 Running Shoes feature a breathable mesh upper which 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. This aids moisture management by wicking sweat and excess moisture as it's produced then transfers it to the outer layers where it can be easily evaporated, keeping your feet cool, dry and comfortable at all times. The mesh upper creates a perfect microclimate for your feet to thrive in. Working to provide increased support are the overlays which ensure a secure and supportive fit whilst also adding to the overall durability of the shoe. Completing the upper is a lacing system which locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.

EVA Midsole

EVA resides in the midsole to supply resilient underfoot cushioning. Light in weight and low in profile, it spares your joints as you strike down on hard, unforgiving surfaces. It also absorbs shocks and returns them in rebound so you'll always have a spring in your step. As well as this, ASICS' signature GEL Cushioning System has been placed in the midsole of the ASICS Braid 2 to supply bounce back and shock absorption; sparing your joints as you land on unforgiving surfaces, allowing for smooth transitions and movement in multiple planes.

Durable Rubber Outsole

Developed using a durable rubber outsole, the ASICS Gel-Braid Running Shoes ensures improved grip in varied conditions. The rubber outsole is able to form a solid bond with the ground beneath it to ensure traction and grip on road surfaces. Having the durability and traction enables you to run with complete confidence that your shoes will keep you grounded at all times. As well as this, the rubber outsole is highly durable to ensure long-lasting wear. The durable nature of the rubber will not wear down easily so you can go further for longer with complete confidence. Completing the outsole are flex grooves which assist with grip and form a solid base to push from. The grooves allow the whole of the outsole to naturally flex where the foot flexes to increase comfort as well as performance.
