Packed with performance features and a striking new design, ASICS GEL-DS Trainer® 18 running shoes have the looks and the technology for top performance. A seamless upper construction offers a smooth fit that won’t irritate your feet. The Heel Clutching System™ gives in-step comfort and support for a secure gait.

Upper: Seamless upper construction provides a smooth and comfortable fit. Exoskeletal heel counter provides improved support and creates improved heel fitting environment. Contains reflective materials designed to enhance visibility during low-light hours.

Midsole: Propulsion Trusstic® mimics connective tissue in the foot by creating tension as the foot enters propulsion stage. A DuoMax® support system positioned to enhance support and stability. Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.®) employs linked componentry to enhance the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off. Heel and forefoot GEL® cushioning systems attenuate shock during impact and toe-off phases, allowing movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle. Lighter Solyte® midsole compound than standard EVA increases cushioning and durability. A ComforDry™ sockliner gives cushioning performance and anti-odor properties for a cooler, drier, healthier environment.

Outsole: Wet Grip® outsole made from a special blend of organic and non-organic components, designed to enhance traction even on wet surfaces. Guidance Line® vertical flex grooves decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency.
