• Impact Guidance System (I.G.S) (Running) : ASICS design philosophy that employs linked componentry to enhance the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off.
• Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Cushioning Systems: Attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement on multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle.
• SpEVA Midsole: Material Improves bounce-back characteristics and decreases midsole breakdown.
• Guidance Line:  Vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency.
