GEL-DS SKY SPEED 2

Under the hood

• Gilled Mesh

  Gilled Mesh is a special type of mesh construction that allows air flow into the shoe during running. It creates more effective ventilation, giving more comfort and less heat inside the shoes.

• Guidance Line

  Guidance Line places a visible groove in the mid and outsole that follows the foot's center of pressure from heel to toe. The result is a more adaptive running platform, creating a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with each stride. Automatic Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.

• Propulsion Plate

  The Propulsion Plate is a special innovation for the forefoot allowing efficient forward movement.

• ComforDry Sockliner

  The ComforDry Sockliner provides the optimum cushioning performance that creates a cooler, drier and healthier shoe environment.

• Solyte

  Solyte is a proprietary cushioning material that provides an exceptionally lightweight midsole with excellent bounce-back and durability.

• I.G.S.

  The Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.) is an ASICS design philosophy. It aims to make shoe components from rear to midfoot and forefoot to work together effectively to allow the body to perform in a natural manner. ASICS designers strive to compliment, not correct, how the legs and feet move.

• DuraSponge

  DuraSponge is a blown AHAR compound for enhanced cushioning and durability in the forefoot. ASICS High Abrasion Resistance Rubber (AHAR) is a tough compound used at the heavy contact area of the outsole.

• Space Trusstic

  The Space Trusstic System is an advanced system that creates a pocket between the Trusstic System device and the midsole, allowing for greater midsole deformation and more efficient foot function.

• Biomorphic Fit

  Biomorphic Fit technology allows the upper of the shoe to move in harmony with the foot, giving more comfort while in motion. This fit means the shoe material does not bunch, reducing the risk of blisters or irritation.

• 3M Reflective

  3M scotchlite (a registered trademark of the 3M Company) reflective material enhances visibility during low light hours.
