GEL-DS SKY SPEED 2

What do you need to know

The GEL-DS SKY SPEED 2 is a lightweight trainer for the more efficient runner with a neutral gait and features ASICS’ most advanced upper technologies for an extremely comfortable fit. Foremost among those technologies is an additional Guidance Line technology that decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency, which helps make the most of the Impact Guidance System (IGS) that employs linked componentry that enhances the foot’s natural gait from heel strike to toe-off. The Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Cushioning System eases the shock experienced during the impact and toe-off phases. Strategically placed stretch Biomorphic Fit material on the upper helps to reduce buckling and the irritation associated with it.

Under the hood

Biomorphic Fit

Biomorphic Fit technology allows the upper of the shoe to move in harmony with the foot, giving more comfort while in motion. This fit means the shoe material does not bunch, reducing the risk of blisters or irritation.

Space Trusstic System

The Space Trusstic System creates a pocket of space between the hard Trusstic device and the layer of midsole under the foot arch. The pocket allows the ligaments of the foot to extend and flex downward during propulsion. The result is greater comfort and a more efficient foot function during running.

AHAR+

ASICS High Abrasion Resistance Rubber (AHAR) is a tough compund used at the heavy contact area of the outsole, for example the heel. It helps to reduce excessive wear.

ComforDry sockliner

The ComforDry Sockliner provides the optimum cushioning performance that creates a cooler, drier and healthier shoe environment.

3M Reflective

3M scotchlite (a registered trademark of the 3M Company) reflective material enhances visibility during low light hours.

Guidance Line

Guidance Line places a visible groove in the mid and outsole that follows the foot's center of pressure from heel to toe. The result is a more adaptive running platform, creating a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with each stride. Automatic Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.

Solyte

Solyte is a proprietary cushioning material that provides an exceptionally lightweight midsole with excellent bounce-back and durability.
