ASICS GT 1000 6

Legendary Gel Kayano saga aside, ASICS Running also has in its varied and extensive catalog of Running shoes with another series of alternatives aimed at pronator runners, and which stand out, in addition to its more contained price, also for offering a number of top-level performance. We are talking about the GT-1000 family, in which the Japanese brand has already presented its sixth edition with the same proposal as in previous versions: to provide a formidable combination of cushioning and stability.

Thus, the ASICS GT-1000 6 is presented as a training shoe for all types of pronator runners (mild, moderate or severe), which provides reliability, safety and efficiency in each stride.

All the virtues of the updated sixth version of the ASICS GT-1000 come from the configuration of its midsole. In this part of the shoe, the designers of the Japanese company have chosen to insert a material such as SpEVA, which provides a remarkable firmness to the footprint, while increasing its recovery capacity, and even the durability and resistance of the shoe. However, the midsole's firmness is attenuated by the incorporation of the characteristic Gel system in both the forefoot and heel. The result is nothing less than guaranteed cushioning and support.

Duomax, ensuring stability control

Being a model focused on that profile of runner who needs greater stability control, in the ASICS GT-1000 6 could not miss the exclusive Duomax system of ASICS Running, It is a compound formed by two materials of different densities, and that come to reinforce the midsole area, adding greater comfort, and reducing the negative effects of each impact on the asphalt.

For its part, the sole of the ASICS GT-1000 6 continues to maintain the same line seen in previous models of this solvent saga of Running shoes for overpronators. That is, it is committed to maintaining a more prominent cleat than the standard, while mounting a high-strength rubber compound, being suitable for running on all types of surfaces.

What's new in the ASICS GT-1000 6

In the chapter of new features, the ASICS GT-1000 6 concentrates most of its update in a total redesign of its upper. The upper of these GT-1000 6 features a new construction, thanks to the incorporation of an Engineered Mesh that, in addition to offering a more pleasant and elastic feel, is capable of improving the breathability and fit of the shoe. And not forgetting that this renewed mesh also contributes to give a new aesthetic touch to the model with a more current and modern look.

It is also worth mentioning that the ASICS GT-1000 6 comes with an Ortholite insole, which provides greater comfort and durability.

With all this, the ASICS GT-1000 6, considered as the "little sisters" of other mythical family as the GT-2000, become a safe valor for the runner with overpronation. They have a 10-millimeter drop, which favors a more natural stride, and weigh approximately 290 grams. Designed to cover long distances, such as the marathon, and to keep running paces above 4:30.
