The option of wearing a reflective running shoe, and abusing the 'postureo' and 'selfinitis' can be a difficult temptation to resist, if you run at night. However, in these cases, being visible is one of the important points that every runner should pay attention to in their training routines. During the summer months, in order to avoid the hot hours, and during the winter months, due to fewer hours of sunshine.
In one case or the other, running at night requires running safely. ASICS Running has provided a solution to this problem with its new Lite-Show collection, which incorporates 3M Reflective material. The Japanese brand has chosen to present four of its iconic models with this reflective system. The new versions of the Nimbus 17, Cumulus 17, Kayano 21 and GT-2000 3 will now be visible at a distance of 120 meters. A practical measure for runners to be seen by drivers as long as the directionality of the light from their cars matches their vision.
The four models available in Lite-Show version, for both men and women, bring with them an elegant monochromatic aesthetic for each of them. Because summer nights are also for running.
GEL-Nimbus 17 Lite-Show
The year 2015 started with one of the most awaited launches: the Asics Gel Nimbus 17.
A model made for neutral runners, looking to enjoy great cushioning and very good performance.
Compared to the Asics Gel Nimbus 16, the weight has been reduced and the upper is now seamless and fits better.
Now, the lightest version of the Nimbus family has its special edition with the reflective details of the Lite-Show collection.
- Men's version color: Blue.
- Women's version color: Hot pink.
GEL-Cumulus 17 Lite-Show
Another of the great novelties of the autumn-winter season will be the Gel Cumulus 17, which brings with it important updates such as the renovation of its upper and the reduction of seams, as well as being the lightest model of the entire Cumulus saga.
The Lite-Show version adds reflectivity to a model for runners looking for cushioning without giving up the feeling of contact with the ground.
- Men's version color: Green.
- Women's version color: Purple.
GEL-Kayano 21 Lite-Show
For more than 20 years, ASICS has been helping runners who prioritize stability control to help correct their pronation. This top-of-the-line ASICS model takes on added valor with the Lite-Show version of the Gel Kayano 21 for training or nighttime competitions.
- Men's version color: Navy.
- Women's version color: Coral.
GT-2000 3 Lite-Show
The third version of the GT-2000 is also for pronator runners, although these have a milder degree than those who opt for the Gel Kayano 21. Among its most outstanding features is its outstanding cushioning in both the front and rear areas of the shoe. But this does not detract from the fact that this model is more reactive, nor does it give up the feeling of greater contact with the surface.
The reflective upper of the Lite-Show version contributes to a secure fit for both daytime and nighttime running.
- Men's version color: Red.
- Women's version color: Turquoise.
