The GEL cushioning absorbs shock on impact, while modern FF Blast foams add lightness and pop. Together they deliver the comfort and durability that built the brand's reputation.

A shoe for every use

Novablast, Gel-Cumulus and Gel-Nimbus: neutral training

The Novablast brings an energetic bounce for everyday miles, the Gel-Cumulus offers balanced, versatile cushioning, and the Gel-Nimbus is a max cushioning benchmark for long distances — all in our neutral shoes.

Gel-Kayano and GT-2000: stability

The Gel-Kayano is one of the most recognized premium stability shoes, and the GT-2000 offers a more accessible, versatile version.

Magic Speed and Hyper Speed: performance

The Magic Speed brings a carbon plate at a more affordable price than elite models, in our plated shoes, while the Hyper Speed focuses on lightness for speed and intervals.

Trabuco: trail

The Gel-Trabuco (including waterproof GTX versions) supports your trail runs with grip and protection.

Apparel and accessories

T-shirts, shorts, jackets and socks round out the range. Find them in our running apparel.

Finding the right model

The right choice depends on your stride and goal. Our team can analyze your gait in store. Shop by category too: road or for women.

Frequently asked questions

What is ASICS GEL cushioning?
GEL technology is a shock-absorbing material placed in the midsole. It softens impact with every stride, contributing to comfort and protection — ASICS' historic signature.
Which ASICS should I choose for daily training?
The Gel-Cumulus and Novablast are excellent versatile, dynamic choices. For maximum softness, go for the Gel-Nimbus; for support, the GT-2000 or Gel-Kayano.
What's the difference between the Gel-Kayano and GT-2000?
Both are stability shoes. The Gel-Kayano is the premium model, more cushioned and supportive; the GT-2000 offers versatile stability at a more accessible price.
Does ASICS offer carbon plate shoes?
Yes. The Magic Speed integrates a carbon plate at a more affordable price than elite models like the Metaspeed, making it a good gateway to supershoes.
How do ASICS shoes fit?
ASICS generally fits true to size, with several models available in extended widths. If in doubt, an in-store fitting confirms length and width.
Does ASICS make trail shoes?
Yes. The Gel-Trabuco range, including waterproof GTX versions, is designed for the trail with grip and protection suited to varied terrain.
