Runneantes, today we present the new ASICS Fuji Speed, one of the star releases of the Japanese firm for lovers of fast races in the roughest mountain terrain. A model that will surely delight thefastest and most intrepid mountain runners, due to its lightness and reactivity.

We are talking about a trail running shoe focused on faster and lighter mountain runners looking to reach fast speeds in short distances, up to half marathon. A model that incorporatesthe latest ASICS technology in order to offer a perfect combination of cushioning, comfort and protection.

Asics Fuji Speed: midsole

ASICS FUJI SPEED, main features

The ASICS Fuji Speed is a perfect combination of lightness, responsiveness and comfort, a shoe that allows you to run very fast while experiencing a feeling of comfort with every stride. Although they are designed to perform, above all, in short and medium distances, we should not rule out that more experienced and faster runners can use them for longer distances such as marathons and even ultramarathons, since one of the characteristics of the Japanese brand is to bring to market very comfortable shoes.

The midsole of this trail shoe for men and women incorporates one of the star cushioning systems, the FlyteFoam foam. A compound that gives you the firmness and reactivity necessary to move at lively rhythms through the most irregular and rugged terrain.

Asics Fuji Speed: upper

The responsiveness of these Fuji Speed is another of its hallmarks. For this, the ASICS design team has chosen to include a Pebax propulsion plate, which allows energy return that generates a feeling of a faster and more dynamic stride. It also brings with it Guidesole technology that generates less ankle flexion and greater shock absorption,reducing muscle fatigue and increasing running efficiency.

The upper is where the most outstanding novelties of this model are concentrated. Constructed with a very light and breathable mesh, it incorporates a clearly innovative lacing system. With a quick release in the style of Salomon Quicklace, it allows an impeccable fit for superior protection.

Asics Fuji Speed: outsole

The AsicsGrip outsole has an unaggressive design considering the user profile of the shoe, opting for a less prominent tread pattern, so it is likely to perform better on rather compact terrain.

ASICS FUJI SPEED, technical specifications

In short, these ASICS FUJI SPEED are a safe bet for the fastest runners looking to measure themselves in short mountain distances. A very very light model, weighing just 240 grams, with a 5mmdrop and a starting price of 160€, it is aimed at conquering rather compact terrain.

What we liked most about the ASICS Fujispeed

These flyers from ASICS incorporate some of the most outstanding technologies from the Japanese company, the result? A very good dose of reactive cushioning, superior lightness, unbeatable fit and unlimited breathability. Perhaps those are the 4 sections that I would highlight the most of a model that, in my opinion, will be among the great favorites of the brand's extensive catalog.

The dynamic cushioning of this shoe allows us to enjoy fast and light transitions. Also, by incorporating Guidesole technology, it generates less ankle flexion and greater shock absorption, reducing muscle fatigue and increasing running efficiency. Special mention should also be made of the x propulsion plate, which allows for energy return that generates a faster and more dynamic running sensation.

What we liked most about the ASICS Fujispeed

The lightness of this model is one of its great claims. With just 240 grams of weight, it is placed in the segment of trail running shoes flying most prominent of the manufacturer ASICS.

The fit offered by the lacing system, in the style of Salomon's Quicklace, I believe, is another of its great attributes. A quick release that allows for a customized fit.

The translucent fabric used in the construction of the upper allows for superior breathability. A mesh that breathes very easily.

Opportunities for improvement in the ASICS Fujispeed

The stability offered by this shoe as a whole I feel that it has some room for improvement. I found it to be a bit unstable as we were pushing the pace. The outsole does perform well, but only on technical terrain. When it gets muddy, my friends, things change for the worse.

That's why this first edition can be improved, for future versions, in these key areas that I consider key.
