Its great versatility is the first detail to highlight about the ASICS Dynaflyte 3, because there is no doubt that we are talking about a daily training shoe, but it also works perfectly as a well-cushioned mixed shoe, because we can say that it is an all-terrain model: suitable for quality training and series, as well as for long runs; and even to be used as a racing option up to half marathons and marathons. One of its basic missions is to help you pick up your pace, whatever distance you run.

Since its entry on the scene in 2016, this saga of the ASICS Dynaflyte has already embodied three versions of the same model, and that each of them retains that original essence of providing the runner with a perfect balance between cushioning, responsiveness and speed. Something that does not go unnoticed so that these renewed ASICS Dynaflyte 3 are postulated as a model that provides the lightness and speed of a racing shoe, but also provide the durable cushioning of a training shoe high volume of kilometers.

After testing it in our review and bringing out all its details, in Runnea we are clear that the ASICS Dynaflyte 3 are lighter, faster, more adaptive and more resistant, if we look to contrast them with their previous version. ASICS Running 's product developers have sought to optimize both performance and comfort, so there are noticeable modifications.

Thus, the improvements of these ASICS Dynaflyte 3, in terms of novelties, include the implementation of a technological resource already known in the Japanese brand, such as the GEL system in the heel area to reinforce sections such as cushioning and support, and therefore add more protection, especially in strategic parts of the shoe.

Speaking of the rearfoot, it is worth mentioning that the ASICS Dynaflyte 3 includes a higher heel than the ASICS Dynaflyte 2, which increases the feeling of smoother and safer transitions.

Midsole with unique FlyteFoam Lyte foam

However, one of the important new features that these Dynaflyte 3 bring with them is the inclusion of the exclusive FlyteFoam Lyte foam along the entire length of their midsole. This means that this running shoe is able to increase its responsiveness, but also reduce its weight. In fact, the Japanese manufacturer itself argues that this FlyteFoam Lyte material is 55% lighter than traditional EVA foam.

It is also worth mentioning that just below the plantar arch, these Dynaflyte 3 incorporate more rubber sole, which contributes to provide more smoothness in the stride cycle.

Improved support

Especially in the toe area, which has been improved to offer more support from foot strike to toe-off.

Adaptive support

Thanks to the inclusion of a new upper with Adapt Mesh technology, which is designed to offer a more adaptive support, and whose mission is to offer an improved fit, more breathable, but also to add flexibility and support in the areas where it is most needed.

That is, the ASICS Dynaflyte 3 builds its upper with a more elastic and flexible fabric, but not to the detriment of support.

To add a twist to the mix, these ASICS Dynaflyte 3 are also available in a special Lite Show version with reflective fabrics and details, which are designed to provide more visibility when running at night, or when visibility conditions are rather poor.

We can say that the ASICS Dynaflyte 3 does not stand out in any particular area, and that its great success as a running shoe lies in a design designed to provide an optimal balance between responsive cushioning, lightness and speed.

With these premises, this latest version of the Dynaflyte 3 is indicated for runners with a neutral stride and weighing up to 80 kilos, who do not want extra support, and who move at fast paces in series or quality training sessions, but also for long runs. Designed for all types of distances.

As we said in its rating, the mixed shoe label is not something out of the script, but at Runnea we prefer to define these ASICS Dynaflyte 3 as a very versatile training shoe for that user profile that is looking for a model to run lightly, but also without giving up having a firm, stable and responsive cushioning for long distances. A runner for almost everything.
