Which ASICS Trainers Are Best For Running?

Running has risen in popularity, and with that, there are several different types of running. Whether you’re on the trail, tarmac or treadmill, ASICS has a huge range to suit your needs.

If you’re after a pair of kicks that do it all, then you’ll want to lace up in the ASICS Novablast 4. To deliver an ultra-smooth ride, they’re kitted out with an FF Blast Plus Eco foam midsole. For explosive acceleration, they feature a rocker profile and a toe-spring the forefoot.

Got a need for speed? The Metapeed Sky Paris could be the sneaker for you. It’s ultra-lightweight and has a Turbo FlyteFoam+ midsole to give you an edge on race day.

The Superblast from ASICS has been designed to keep your feet comfortable during long distance runs. A dual midsole made with FF Blast Plus and FF Blast Turbo cushioning ensures a next-level experience with every stride.

Stability is paramount when it comes to running. Providing it through the geometry of the trainer is the GEL-Kayano 30. Champions in innovation, ASICS equipped these with a revolutionary 4D Guidance System for adaptive stability. Add PureGEL tech and FF Blast Eco foam cushioning into the equation, and what you’ve got is unrivalled support.

To help you recuperate, ASICS created the GEL-Nimbus 26. It has an engineered knit upper for breathable wear, while an updated lacing system and padded ankle collar give you a snug, secure fit. PureGEL tech and an FF Blast Plus Eco foam midsole offer responsive cushioning, while the Hybrid ASICSGrip outsole offers total traction.

When you’re taking to the track, you can count on the Magic Speed 3 to help you get your PBs. To propel you forward with power, a full-length carbon plate rests in the middle of the FF Blast Plus midsole.

Trail running your scene? The Trabuco Max 2 has a specially designed ASICSGrip outsole with patterning for uphill and downhill running, as well as a smart lace loop for a locked in fit. For a stable ride in wet conditions, try the GEL-Trabuco 11 GTX.

How To Clean ASICS Shoes?

ASICS suggest avoiding putting your shoes in the washing machine. Instead, you’ll need the following to keep your footwear looking fresh: a mild detergent or clothing-safe soap, a scrubbing brush or toothbrush, a sponge, paper towels and a bucket of warm water.

Firstly, remove the shoelaces and insoles. Then, fill a bucket with warm water and add 15-30ml water and use a dry paper towel to remove any dirt.

Dip your soft brush or toothbrush into the warm water and clean the outsoles. Now it’s time to clean the uppers. How you do this will depend on the material it’s made from. If it’s fabric, mesh or canvas, a wet, soapy sponge is best. If the upper’s made with suede, nubuck or leather, then apply cleaning products that are specifically made for these materials.

Clean your insoles with soapy water, scrub the surface with your chosen brush, then clean off any dirt that’s left with a wet sponge. Place your laces under running water to clean them.

Now all the parts of your shoes are cleaned, let them air dry. To help absorb odours, you can sprinkle baking soda inside of them.

Which ASICS Shoes Are Best For Me?

Which shoes are best for you depends on what you’re using them for. If they’re for running, there’s plenty to consider. For example, what is your pronation type?
