ASICS Gel Noosa Tri 12

With the new release of the ASICS Gel Noosa Tri 12, the Japanese brand has designed a return to its origins with a running shoe that marked a before and after for the most demanding triathletes. We are talking about a high performance model.

By the way, a question to be answered: Does the change of nomenclature in these renewed ASICS Gel Noosa Tri 12 represent a radical revolution in the design of this running shoe? In terms of performance, not so much. The fact that the acronym FF has disappeared from its name and has been replaced by the correlative numbering of this mythical Gel Noosa Tri saga does not mean that the innovative and sensitive FlyteFoam foam has disappeared from its midsole. On the contrary, this compound is still very present in the Noosa Tri 12, and in fact, together with the GEL system, it supports the cushioning capacity of this shoe.

ASICS Gel Noosa Tri 12 runner profile

Before getting into the new features of the ASICS Gel Noosa Tri 12 from ASICS running, in terms of technologies and materials, it should be noted that this new silhouette from the Japanese company from Kobe has its target audience in that profile of runner, with a neutral stride - also for runners with mild pronation (Duomax technology) - and rather lightweight, not exceeding 75 kilos.

The idea of these ASICS Gel Noosa Tri 12 is to be able to offer more efficient transitions, which translates into faster runs. Something that fits perfectly for triathlon lovers, and regardless of the distance they run.

Thus, this latest release of the 2019 season from ASICS is presented as a training shoe, it can also be a mixed one, for all intents and purposes, allowing you to run at a wide variety of paces to reach your best performance.

ASICS Gel Noosa Tri 12, all its main features.

The first point to note about the features of this new redesign of the ASICS Gel Noosa Tri 12, and in comparison with the latest ASICS Noosa FF 2, is that it is an even lighter model than its predecessors. The weight of the Gel Noosa Tri 12 is around 250 grams for a size 9, 5 USA. Data that demonstrate its great lightness.

Evidently, the fact that this model has been made lighter, in large part, is due to the construction of its midsole, in which the Gel Noosa Tri 12 continues to bet on that successful combined formula of FlyteFoam foam and the GEL system in the heel area. The result is a cushioned platform for a comfortable and resistant stride, but alsolightweight to make those strides more dynamic, thus improving the model's responsiveness.

It is also important to note that this twelfth Gel Noosa interaction incorporates ASICS' prominent Duomax technology, which adds that point of support and stability to the shoe, helping to correct that slight inward rotation of the foot. So, the model is also optimized for runners with mild pronation.

On the other hand, and in order to enhance the use as a running shoe suitable for triathlon, the upper of these ASICS Gel Noosa Tri 12 has been made with a more open technical mesh, which eliminates the seams, and whose fabric has a faster drying capacity than in previous versions. While also improving breathability.

What's more, if you have to run in wet conditions, these ASICS Gel Noosa Tri 12 include a series of perforations in the front area to contribute to a faster and more effective water filtration, and thus ensure that the athlete's feet remain dry at all times.

More details of these Noosa Tri 12 for triathletes are undoubtedly found in the tongue and heel pull tabs, to which we must add the elastic laces, which allow you to remove and put on the shoe more quickly and easily.

Finally, at the technological level, these ASICS Gel Noosa bring with them the exclusive AHARPLUS rubber, implemented as a reinforcement in the heel area, which offers greater durability, especially in the areas most exposed to wear.

Obviously, and as has happened in all previous versions of the Gel Noosa Tri, this latest edition stands out for its striking design does not go unnoticed with that range of bright colors for men's shoes as for women's shoes. All this well assembled with advanced technical features to run even faster and without sacrificing comfort.
