ASICS DS Trainer 23

Almost on a par with the legendary Gel Kayano saga, and even ahead of the best-selling Gel Nimbus, the Gel DS Trainer family from ASICS Running is another of the longest-lived models with great appeal among the Japanese brand's loyal runners. The ASICS Gel DS Trainer 23 is the latest edition that comes with a makeover, albeit an update, that still retains its outstanding performance features.

The ASICS Gel DS Trainer 23 also remains one of the references in that niche of mixedRunning shoes with stability control, and which are oriented to that profile of runner who seeks to run faster to beat their personal bests. Thus, in the Gel DS Trainer 23, ASICS Running designers have left everything that has worked so well in previous versions of this model. So the improvements are rather small, but they are noticeable, especially in the upper area of the shoe.

Better support, less weight

The upper of the ASICS Gel DS Traineer 23 incorporates the so-called Adapt Mesh. A novel resource that has already been seen in another iconic ASICS model such as the Dynaflyte 2. In addition to providing greater ventilation, the main feature of this material is that it has greater capacity to expand, and therefore better support is obtained, while at the same time contributing to reduce the overall weight of the shoe.

Given the great novelty of the ASICS Gel DS Trainer 23, it must be said that the rest of this mixed model remains faithful to what was already incorporated in previous versions. In fact, the midsole continues to incorporate the innovative FlyteFoam, which replaced the characteristic Solyte material, to improve the shoe's cushioning capacity and reinforce the overall performance of the model.

On the other hand, the ASICS Gel DS Trainer 23 also features the Dynamic Duomax system, whose mission is to provide more density to the model, in order to offer more firmness in the footstrike, and thus correct excess pronation. All this is reinforced with the classic insertion of the well-known ASICS Running GEL system in the forefoot area of the model, which further enhances the comfort of the shoe.

Improved response

In the sole of the ASICS Gel DS Trainer 23, another technology of the Propulsion Trusstic caliber takes on special relevance.

Implemented in the midfoot area, this plastic piece serves to increase the model's responsiveness, while adding a certain stiffness necessary for the pronator runner.

Not to mention that the combination of the Duosole system and the AHAR rubber compound improves both grip and durability in the areas most exposed to wear.

The ASICS Gel DS Trainer 23 also features a 10-millimeterdrop and a weight of 240 grams. So these DS Trainer 23 are presented as an ideal option for series and fast training as well as for short distance competitions.
