ASICS Tartheredge 2 Running Shoes

Whether you're a competitive racer or simply like challenging yourself to beat your personal best, the TARTHEREDGE 2 model can assist your fast-paced training and racing.

Lightweight Mesh Upper

Lightweight mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Lightweight and highly breathable for all-temperature comfort, the mesh acts as a lightweight second skin, providing a supportive and comfortable fit. Its perforated construction allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, letting your feet breathe when the temperature starts to rise or your training session heats up. The jacquard mesh also provides a glove-like fit that contours to the shape of the foot for increased comfort and performance. Completing the upper is a lacing system which locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage so you can enjoy distraction-free strides.

Flytefoam Propel Midsole

The midsole uses flytefoam propel to ensure= unmatched shock absorption and a lively ride. FlyteFoam 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 your shoes might not be able to take it. Resilient and innovative, FlyteFoam Propel technology lets you run with the feeling that your feet aren't even touching the ground. FlyteFoam Propel has all the features and benefits that you already love about the innovative technology but brings together lightweight foam with high energy return elastomer for increased bounce and unrivalled toe-off, allowing you to get better performances out of every stride. Aiding propulsion as well as torsional support is the Trusstic system that links the rearfoot to the forefoot, offering spring and stability.

Duosole Outsole

Developed using Duosole, the outsole of the TartherEdge Running Shoes offers lightweight flexibility and traction to help you go further for longer. The durable rubber provides a strong grip and works to protect itself from damage, and protect users from losing control and slipping. The rubber is placed on high wear areas such as the forefoot and heel to increase durability and resist the traumas of heel-strikes. Over the heel, there is an AHAR plug technology where the material is thicker and ultimately tougher, which is a particularly vulnerable area as it is the first ground contact point. ASICS' high abrasion rubber is a tough rubber compound used at the heavy-contact or high wear areas which helps to cut down on excessive wear. As well as this it can create a strong bond with any ground beneath it, helping you stay in full control.
