Description

  • Video Description View the Video Description for this product! (Please note that the color shown in the video may no longer be available.)
  • Surpass greatness as you leave all competition in your wake, when you slip into the light and speedy ASICS® GEL-Excel33™!
  • A neutral running shoe that's designed to enhance the foot's natural movement.
  • Breathable mesh upper.
  • Lightweight synthetic overlays provide structural support.
  • Reflective elements increase visibility in low-light conditions.
  • Heel Clutching System™ is made up of an exoskeletal heel counter that promotes an improved fit and increased support.
  • Lightly padded tongue and collar for added comfort and performance.
  • PHF® (Personalized Heel Fit) creates a custom fit as the two layers of memory foam that line the collar mold to your heel.
  • ComforDry™ sockliner offers antimicrobial properties for a drier, healthier environment.
  • 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.
  • Rearfoot & forefoot Gel® cushioning systems work together to better attenuate impacting shock and allow the foot to move fluidly throughout the gait cycle.
  • Solyte® midsole is lighter than standard EVA and SpEVA® designed by ASICS. Its responsive nature delivers a supremely cushioned ride and makes it highly durable.
  • SpEVA® midsole material maximizes energy return while reducing midsole breakdown.
  • Trusstic System® reduces overall weight of the sole unit, while retaining the structural integrity of the shoe.
  • 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.
  • Drainage ports on the outsole expels excess moisture.
  • AHAR® (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) is known for its supreme durability and is strategically placed throughout high-wear areas of the outsole.
  • Measurements:
    • Weight: 10 oz
  • Product measurements were taken using size 9, width B - Medium. Please note that measurements may vary by size.

ASICS® was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote sports. In fact, ASICS is an acronym from the famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which translates, "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Originating in Kobe, Japan over fifty years ago, ASICS shoes and ASICS clothing were introduced to the United States in 1977. Throughout the years and running beyond today, the ASICS philosophy imparts an incredible story of athletic performance and technical advancements.

ASICS shoes, apparel and bags are produced in a wide assortment to meet the needs of men, women and kids. ASICS has produced products filled with technological designs and features such as the revolutionary ASICS® GEL® Cushioning System. The ASICS® GEL-NIMBUS® and ASICS® GEL-KAYANO® running shoes have benefited from such innovation and have enhanced the running experience for so many ASICS mens and ASICS womens aficionados. So on any given day, a runner can get fitted from head to toe with ASICS running clothes and ASICS running shoes. A feat Kihachiro Onitsuka would be very proud of to this day.

Running is one focus for this brand as ASICS produces products for training, volleyball, wrestling, track & field, cheerleading and field sports. ASICS kids shoes and ASICS kids clothing are made for the younger athletic market. Rounding out the brand’s product offering are ASICS bags to help meet the demands of your sporting desires.

To date, ASICS continues to put forth quality tested products designed to stand the rigors of elite and amateur athletes alike. Willing to try something new, and always staying ahead of the curve is how ASICS manages to stay true to it's namesake.

I ordered a half size up for running comfort and don't feel I got it. Feels my regular size. Also a little narrower than usual. Last pair were Nimbus 12 so that's what I'm comparing to.

At first I thought they'd be good. I like the forefoot cushioning and they are on the lighter side, but so far I've used them 3 times and each time, after 4 miles, my toes are burning. They also feel to wide and awkward to have a nice, smooth run. They made my legs feel tired. I wish I could return them because I won't wear them again. I think I'm going back to New Balance.

These are great sneakers, they're very lightweight but still supportive. The cushioned collar is really nice after your first run - my first time out it chafed a bit while it formed to my ankle but now it really just hold the shoes in place. I wear a 10 - 10.5 generally and I ordered an 11 in these (I always size up in sneakers as feet tend to swell when you run...), and it's perfect. They have a nice wide base which is good for my wider feet - these probably wouldn't work for a narrower foot.

I love the feel of these shoes. They are my first real pair of running shoes. They feel like little clouds in my feet. I don't love the look of them as much as I thought I would but they are super cute and I always get a lot of compliments on them. They help me run for a longer period of time with nice support and comfort.

Overall these are great shoes. The are the lightest weight Asics with great fit. I work 12 hour shifts with these and I am a several mile runner as well. They work well in both situations. I got two pairs.
