ASICS Gel-Excite 8 GS Junior Running Shoes
The ASICS Gel-Excite 8 GS Junior Running Shoes are designed to provide excellent cushioning for a variety of activities throughout the day.
Mesh Upper
These ASICS running shoes feature a mesh upper that offers excellent breathability, allowing cool air to permeate and intolerable heat to build up. Not only this but moisture from sweat is also able to escape out of the shoe, whilst liquid on the surface of the material is wicked away instantly, keeping the shoes at their lightweight feel. The shoes have fewer overlays to help reduce irritation in the forefoot helping to keep your child moving comfortably. A fun pattern features throughout the upper. A traditional lacing system will allow you to find a firm and comfortable fit all the way up the feet, guaranteeing a personalised and non-restrictive fit. Finishing the upper is a padded tongue and ankle collar that will reduce the risk of irritation from rubbing, whilst also enhancing comfort.
EVA Midsole
The midsole technology consists of EVA cushioning which is engineered to maintain durability at softer densities, providing better flexibility, comfort and platform adaptability ideal for natural running. Lightweight and resilient, the cushioning spares your little one's joints as they strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces. In addition, a Rearfoot Gel cushioning system resides in the heel to provide exceptional shock absorption from impact forces during the heel strike phase of the gait cycle. The gel spares their joints from unforgiving surfaces as they put in the miles.
Solid Rubber Outsole
A solid rubber outsole adds lightness and improves durability, strategically placed flex grooves make the shoes more flexible when running or wearing casually throughout the day. The durable rubber used on the outsole of the shoe is abrasion-resistant to prevent any damage from occurring over a long period of time exposed to hard ground. The rubber compound offers higher densities in high-impact areas of the outsole where the most wear occurs throughout the miles, this helps reduce the wear and tear.
