Fresh out of the labs at ASICS, the GlideRide 2 is an update to distance-runner favorite. ASICS employs their unique GUIDESOLE technology to create a noticeably curved sole shape that promotes smooth transitions from landing to toe-off. This means greater energy efficiency over long miles so you can feel fresh longer. The updated model includes a refreshed engineered mesh upper that improves ventilation and support without adding extra weight. A 3D print overlay offers structural support without counteracting the flexible movement of the mesh. Designers created a sandwich of ASICS Flytefoam in the midsole that delivers the responsive cushioning and durability you need to cover long distances. A top layer of Flytefoam provides cushioning for landings, while the bottom layer of Flytefoam Propel adds a snappy pop to the already rolling shape of the GlideRide 2.
