Asics New Zealand

	Impact Guidance System™ The Impact Guidance System is a technical design philosophy that allows the foot to perform in a more natural manner for the intended sport.
	Biomorphic Fit™ Radical upper technology involving flex points over areas of highest buckling for much improved fit, dramatically reduced loading and greater comfort, especially over bony prominences.
	Solyte™ New proprietary cushioning midsole material, which is lighter than ASICS' standard EVA and SpEVA, combined with improved cushioning and durability
	Solyte Lasting 45/55/65 ASICS new proprietary midsole material takes on a new role as a lasting technology, enhancing comfort by improved cushioning through the use of three different densities: 45 density for high cushion and flexibility 55 density for increased stiffness to boost the spring rate 65 density for increased stiffness thus limiting midsole deformation
	SpEVA® - Special EVA Midsole material that improves bounce back characteristics and decreases midsole breakdown.
	SpEVA® Lasting 45/55/65 The proprietrary midsole material takes on a new role as a lasting technology, enhancing comfort by improved cushioning through the use of three different densities: 45 density for hight cushion and flexibility 55 density for increased stiffness to boost the spring rate 65 density for increased stiffness thus limiting midsole deformation
	AHAR® ASICS High Abrasion Resistant Rubber. Tough rubber compound used at the heavy-contact areas of the outsole. Helps cut down on excessive wear.
	AHAR Ride + New blown AHAR outsole material. Delivers enhanced cushioning, durability and ride to the forefoot.
	DuoSole Outsole construction offering lightweight and flexible traction.
	DuoMax ASICS exclusive stabilising system. A dual density midsole with the harder EVA on the medial side, starting in the centre of the midsole in a diagonal course to provide smooth over pronation control.
	ASICS® GEL® Cushioning System (Front and Rear) To bring about the highest possible shock absorbing effect, the Gel units are strategically placed in the midsole of the shoe.
	ASICS® GEL® Cushioning System (Rear) To bring about the highest possible shock absorbing effect, the Gel units are strategically placed in the midsole of the shoe.
	ASICS® GEL® Cushioning System (Front) To bring about the highest possible shock absorbing effect, the Gel units are strategically placed in the midsole of the shoe.
	4E Width (Men's) ASICS offers a range of widths for unsurpassed fit.
	2E Width (Men's) ASICS offers a range of widths for unsurpassed fit.
	D Width (Women's) ASICS offers a range of widths for unsurpassed fit.
	2A Width (Women's) ASICS offers a range of widths for unsurpassed fit.
	Space Trusstic System The new ASICS Space Trusstic system works with the complex functions of the foot to facilitate Windlass Mechanics.
	Trusstic System™ Moulded component under the midfoot area. Provides over-pronation control in combination with extremely contoured midsoles. Reduces the weight of the shoe.
	ComforDry Sockliner The ComforDry Sockliner is a unique dual layer cushioning system combining the support of base foam with the slow recovery of lazy foam, for a customised insole. Also contains anti-microbial properties for a cooler, drier and healthier foot environment.
	Removable Sockliner An EVA sockliner moulded to the shape of the foot,which can be removed to accommodate an orthotic.
	Ex-Grip Special "tacky PU print" on the top of the sockliner. Prevents the foot from slipping inside the shoe.
	Asymmetrical Lacing New lacing design taken from Biomorphic upper principals. Follows the natural contours of the foot to provide improved fit and comfort during gait.
	Stability Cradle A reinforced EVA or SpEVA component contoured to provide medial and lateral stability.
	3M A reflective material produced by the 3M company for night safety.
	PHF (Personal Heel Fit System) Moulds and customises itself to the individual heel shape of the wearer.
	10mm Heel Gradient Shifts body mass forward reducing strain on lower limbs.
	TPU Cutting Welds Thermo PolUrethane welded to the upper to deliver better grip on the ball.
	Super Suede Heel Material Japanese synthetic material providing higher durability with less heel slippage.
	Multi Function Cleats The feature provides responsiveness on turf/grass surfaces. A unique design which allows the cleat to "cut and rotate" through the turf, whilst still providing exceptional grip and stability.
	Californian Last The upper is stitched to a canvas board and directly attached to the midsole for stability and comfort.
	EVA Last This shoe is lasted with EVA.
	Combination Last Board lasting in the heel area for stability and slip lasting in the forefoot for flexibility.
	Split Last Used for lightweight / racing developments. The upper is wrapped and stitched directly to the midsole allowing for flexibility and lightweight.
	Standard Last Built on ASICS Standard Last.
	Racing Last Built on ASICS Racing Last.
	GORE-TEX® GORE-TEX material is featured in this model.
	Bamboo Lining This natural fibre upper lining brings great benefits. Bamboo Lining is anti-microbial, odour resistant and mosisture wicking, plus it has a great comfortable feel to the wearer.
	Gender Specific Trusstic This Space Trusstic has been built differently for the men's and women's models. Findings from our Gender Study recognized that women have slightly different physiological dynamics to men. The space in the Trusstic is larger for women to allow for easier release of the midsole for when their plantar flexes during the 'windlass mechanism' stage of gait.
	Gender Specific Cushioning This is an injected and separate piece of Solyte that is in the forefoot of the midsole. The women's piece is softer compared to the men's. This allows for the lighter frame of the women to feel the cushioning available in the forefoot of the shoe.
	Gill Mesh Is the name we have given to a totally new sandwich mesh in the quarter area of the upper. It effectively traps passing air from the outside and forces it inside to ventilate and cool the foot in a superior manner.
	+3 Midsole Also a consequence from our Gender studies - ASICS scientists have used 3mm of additional midsole height (at the heel) on women's models to help relieve possible strain on the Achilles tendon. Making sport a more comfortable and safer place for women.
	Discreet Eyestay Lacing A new lacing development that uses independentiy placed eyelets. This concept evens the lacing tension across the foot, creating a customised fit and enhanced upper comfort.
	Soft Top DuoMax Derived from our Gender specific studies to make sport a more comfortable and safer place for women. This next generation DuoMax employs a thin, softer layer that sits on top of the main stability component in the midsole. This providesgreater comfort and enchanced gait efficiency to female athletes.
	Guidance Line The Guidance Line is a physical separation of the midsole. This vertical flex groove decouples the tooling and helps reproduce consistent load transfer at propulsion. IGS Adaptive Technology at its best.
