ASICS is taking a step forward and distinguishes itself from the competition with its two new and innovative models; the ASICS GlideRide and the ASICS MetaRide. The most cutting-edge technologies of the Japanese firm come together to offer maximum performance in the most demanding workouts and competitions, but what are the differences and similarities between these two models?
Here is a duel of height between these two Running shoes that does not require a single winner: ASICS GlideRide versus ASICS MetaRide, take note!
ASICS MetaRide and ASICS GlideRide, face to face
A duel of titans that has two of the most innovative ASICS models as absolute protagonists. Two Running shoes that are distinguished by incorporating the most cutting-edge technologies of the moment of the firm to offer the runner an unbeatable running experience. Technology at the service of the runner to make running easier thanks to greater propulsion in the tread, greater cushioning and sublime reactivity, let's go into detail!
It is no coincidence that we are first talking about the ASICS MetaRide, as its arrival on the market came months before the launch of the GlideRide. Moreover, it is a model called to establish a new turning point in the coveted and competitive segment for completing long distances. A model that brings with it a conceptual change and, undoubtedly, marks a before and after within and outside the extensive ASICS catalog.
ASICS MetaRide, top-level technological framework
Its curved silhouette that reduces heel movement and displacement, its clear maximalist tendency , its reactivity, stability and protection are some of the main hallmarks of this model for neutral runners. With a first-class technological framework aimed at favoring the propulsion phase, it helps to reduce the fatigue accumulated by the long-distance runner.
But the reality is that this model stands out for incorporating all the innovative technologies of the Japanese firm, without exception. To get a rough idea of the technological scope of this top-of-the-range running shoe in terms of cushioning, we need only look at its ambitious midsole.
Made with a triple layer of FlyteFoam Lyte, Gel system and FlyteFoam Propel, this winning combination of materials in its midsole, and have already been seen in other iconic models, and top of the range as the ASICS Gel Nimbus 21 and ASICS Gel Kayano 25, among others.
But, without a doubt, the great technological innovation, also present in the Asics GlideRide is the GUIDESOLE technology; capable of providing you with a landing phase in which impacts are absorbed, in such a way that fatigue is reduced.
ASICS GlideRide, smooth ride
The main objective of these top-of-the-line Running shoes in cushioning for neutral runners focuses on helping the runner to be more efficient in running, thanks to a curved design, a kind of rocker, which propels the runner forward. In addition, GUIDESOLE technology helps reduce fatigue for smoother movements.
Undoubtedly, a model that allows you to glide effortlessly and add miles and miles to your feet. The Japanese company has worked on a better optimization of the stride cycle, reducing the impact and favoring the toe-off phase, all with the same purpose, to offer an unbeatable running experience!
It is important to note that, in this latest release from ASICS, the firm has opted to include its star technology, the GEL system, for a permanent feeling of comfort while running.
Points in common between the MetaRide and the GlideRide
Both models have marked a before and after inside and outside the Japanese firm, thanks to an excellent technological framework aimed at offering a quality response. Aimed at completing the longest and most efficient runs, they offer maximum cushioning and both have a curved design that favors propulsion in each step.
But without a doubt, the main common feature between both models lies in the incorporation of GUIDESOLE technology; an innovative and exclusive technology that is embodied in a curved silhouette design. Thanks to this revolutionary application, the fatigue accumulated by long-distance runners is significantly reduced because they run with less effort.
It is also important to note that the exclusive FlyteFoam Propel foam present in these two new members of the ASICS Ride family substantially increases the rebound capacity of the shoe as a whole.
- Differences between the ASICS MetaRide and the ASICS GlideRide
The ASICS MetaRide incorporates all the most cutting-edge technologies of the Japanese company while in the GlideRide model we observe, to a lesser extent, some of the most outstanding ones. The MetaRide also features a Zerodrop concept while the GlideRide has a 5mm heel drop.
The maximalist tendency of the MetaRide and the ambitious combination of materials in its midsole contrast with the structure of the GlideRide. Let's say that this latest release from the Japanese company, the ASICS GlideRide, has the MetaRide as an absolute reference and includes some of its most cutting-edge technologies.
ASICS MetaRide and ASICS GlideRide, next-generation, high-performance models
As we highlighted at the beginning of this post, it is difficult to choose between the two models, ASICS MetaRide or ASICS GlideRide, to say the least. These two new members of the ASICS Ride family are aimed at completing longer runs and seek to significantly reduce fatigue during running thanks to a better optimization of the stride cycle and a curved design that allows for an effortless ride.
Maximum cushioning and greater shock absorption thanks to the implementation of GUIDESOLE technology, present in both models of the Japanese firm. Therefore, there is no winner in this height duel. While it is true that the MetaRide is the pioneer in including all the technologies in a single shoe, the GlideRide includes some of the most outstanding ones.
A head to head that is characterized by the innovation and quality of its materials, high performance products that improve the runner's running experience. Two models that, without a doubt, have marked a before and after in the extensive and revolutionary trajectory of the Japanese manufacturer.
