ASICS GEL-DS Trainer 24 Running Shoes

Crafted for velocity, these running shoes come with a new performance knit upper and lightweight cushioning for responsive support that allows you to run faster, whether its race day or you're simply walking to meet your step count. These streamlined running shoes feature Flytefoam Lyte technology for durability and a light feel, while the Duomax support system helps you maintain an efficient gait.

Performance Knit Upper

The upper of the GEL-DS Trainer 24 has been constructed using a performance knit material to provide you with exceptional comfort and control as you run. The material keeps you cool and dry by eliminating the build-up of excess sweat and moisture, leaving your feet comfortable and composed as you strive for the best results and performance. Additionally, cool air is encouraged to circulate, creating a drier, healthier environment for your feet to thrive. Furthermore, an EVA sockliner sits comfortably against the skin, preventing friction and irritation such as chafing.

Also located on the upper are reflective details, which improve safety and visibility in low light such as early morning or evening runs. The reflective details make you more visible to passing vehicles when road running. Secure your feet inside the shoe thanks to the traditional lacing system while the padded tongue adds further comfort without causing a distraction as you run.

Flytefoam Lyte Midsole

FlyteFoam Lyte technology resides in the midsole. A generous layer of protection, bounce and comfort; it provides you with unmatched shock absorption and a lively ride. FlyteFoam Lyte is the lightest cushioning material ASICS has ever made, 55% lighter than the industry standard, EVA, and it buffers against the ground to protect you from unnecessary stress and fatigue. Its reinforced, organic fibres let the material bounce back to its original shape after every run; so you can train harder, more frequently, for longer, without the worry that your shoes might not be able to take it. Resilient and winning, FlyteFoam Lyte technology lets you run with the feeling that your feet aren't even touching the ground.

Embedded within the pillowy platform, and complementing its bouncy nature, is the Rearfoot GEL Cushioning System. This works to reduce shock during the impact phase, sparing your joints as your sprint down onto unforgiving concrete and allowing for a smooth transition to mid-stance. ASICS contrast their cushioning with the Duomax Support System. Implemented on the medial side, it helps to control pronation, enhancing stability and support without sacrificing light-weight or comfort.

AHAR Outsole

AHAR (ASICS High Abrasion Resistant rubber) is strategically deployed in high-stress areas to supply biting grip across every surface, resisting the traumas of heel-strike and toe-off to provide you with a reliable on long-lasting running buddy. Choose the GEL-DS Trainer 24, for an ultra-light but stable ride. Working in tandem with the AHAR compound is the Trusstic System, which uses a thermal plastic shank on the outsole to channel energy into forward propulsion. This system works by mirroring the function of the foot's ligaments. This transforms the foot from a flexible structure, for shock absorption through the heel strike and mid-stance, into a strong, firm lever to provide forward propulsion.
