- Update to the GEL-DS SKY Speed™, SKU#7708436.
- A racing-inspired training flat built on a neutral platform to accommodate the high-mileage runner.
- Open mesh upper promotes exceptional breathability.
- Synthetic overlays provide lightweight durability and a supportive fit.
- Biomorphic Fit® is created with a stretch material that is strategically placed throughout the upper to reduce buckling and provide an exceptional fit and feel.
- Asymmetrical lacing design minimizes the likelihood of irritation and heightens fit and comfort.
- Discrete Eyelets - Independently placed eyelets evenly distribute lace tension for an enhanced fit.
- 3M™ reflective elements allow visibility even in low light.
- Lightly padded tongue and collar for added comfort and performance.
- I.G.S® (Impact Guidance System) is an ASICS design philosophy that employs linked componentry to enhance the foot's natural gait from heel strike through toe-off.
- Solyte® midsole is lighter in weight than ASICS' standard EVA and SpEVA®. Its responsive nature delivers a supremely cushioned ride and makes it highly durable.
- Rearfoot & forefoot Gel® cushioning systems work together to better attenuate impacting shock and allow the foot to move fluidly throughout the gait cycle.
- Space Trusstic System™ midfoot stabilizer creates a pocket between the Trusstic System unit and the midsole, promoting more controlled midsole deformation, as well as more efficient foot function.
- Propulsion Trusstic® mimics connective tissues in the foot by creating tension as the foot enters the propulsion phase.
- Guidance Line® technology employs a vertical flex groove that decouples the tooling along the line of progression for maximum stride efficiency.
- AHAR® (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) is known for its supreme durability and is strategically placed throughout high-wear areas of the outsole.
- Slip Lasting method is utilized, in which the upper is stitched before it's glued to the midsole. This enhances flexibility and allows the shoe to remain lightweight.
- Weight: 9 oz
- Product measurements were taken using size Women's 8.5. Please note that measurements may vary by size.

Just got these in the mail today. They are fantastic! Great fit, and very comfortable. The color is awesome. I love that they have some spunk to them, which can be hard to get sometimes with Asics. With these I get a great shoe with a great look. My orthapedic doc said Asics are the best for your knees/body.

This is the first time I've tried this model of Asics. I have high arches, Morton's Neuroma, and a bunion, and I found these shoes to be quite comfortable. They are a bit on the narrow side. I've worn Asics for years and have noticed their shoes are definitely getting a bit narrower. My other shoes and older models of Asics still fit great, so that science experiment proved my feet aren't getting that much wider. If you have bunions or any other foot problem, you might want to pass on these because of the narrow build. Quite comfy in the cushion and breath-ability areas, but the Solyte will break down faster than Speva which is fine if you're a shoe person like me and want to buy another pair every six months or so. If you don't have foot problems, definitely go with these, and when you buy that second pair most definitely go with Zappos. There's no place on earth or cyberspace like Zappos for out of this world customer service!

I'm a competitive distance runner and was looking for a lighter shoe with a less rigid mid-foot. I really like this shoe a lot. I may want to get innersoles though because the forefoot is kind of thin, and my big toes have been having some issues because of it. However, it's a great light shoe: way more supportive than any racing flats but nowhere near as clunky as some heavier stability shoes.

These shoes are a beautiful color, and they are very comfortable right out of the box. If you have high arches, as I do, you might want to choose a shoe that has more arch support. I plan to wear them at the gym. They are great for running the dogs around the neighborhood, and I do love the lovely vibrant green color. Shiny!

I had to get a different pair, because the first pair were sewn up different in the toe area. The shoes: the mesh part gets stuff (vegetation)stuck in it pretty bad, one of the laces frayed on the first use, there really isn't any arch support, being that this shoe is kinda wide (in the toe area) I feel like my foot slips (back and forth)a little in it too, ankle padding is good though. Cute shoe and it's not uncomfortable.

Let's just say I've purchased this shoe 3 times! I'm an avid runner who values comfort along with a fast pick up. There's no doubt these bad boys weren't made to last. Let alone, never have I felt a breeze pass through my toes! Love it! Oh, not to mention the color is fun and motivating if you ask me.

Great shoe! I love the color. I've been running in this shoe for sometime now. This is my first pair of ASICS. I ordered a size up because reviews said they were narrow. I should have ordered normal size because they are a bit large. I still run in them without any problems. Thanks Zappos!
