ASICS Gel Excite 9

The ASICS Gel Excite saga now includes the ASICS Gel Excite 9. The Japanese brand launches these shoes retain the best features from the previous editions, including a few fan favourites. A family of mid-range shoes that are totally efficient for non-professional runners.

These running shoes are ideal for occasional neutral runners, so that they can really go for it in their training sessions, especially on distances that are not too far. This shoe has been designed with variations in the upper compared to its predecessors, offering unprecedented comfort in the ASICS Gel Excite range. Let's have a closer look.

Main features of the ASICS Gel Excite 9

Starting with the midsole, ASICS hasn't made any major changes in this ASICS Gel Excite 9. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The combination of AMPLIFOAM cushioning and GEL technology is there, providing greater durability and softer support in the footstrike. Thanks to the distribution of these two technologies, we also get more flexibility and comfort. The finishing touch is the ORTHOLITE insole, for greater comfort in the sole.

The upper has the biggest change compared to previous versions like the ASICS Gel Excite 8: it's made of a specially-designed jacquard mesh. This material increases airflow and provides a softer feel.

Last but not least, we have a rubber outsole, which offers the efficiency you demand. This is thanks to the GUIDANCE LINE technology, a vertical flex groove that untwists the design along the line of progression, to improve both efficiency and foot strike consistency.

The ASICS Gel Excite 9 have a 10mm drop, which is perfect for runners who enter their stride with their heel, preventing them from potential muscle injuries and providing comfort.
