ASICS GEL, FLYTEFOAM and TRUSSTIC Explained

Decoding ASICS technology

ASICS product pages are full of names like GEL, FLYTEFOAM and TRUSSTIC. Here's what they mean in plain English.

GEL™

Silicone-based cushioning placed in the heel and/or forefoot to absorb impact. Great for tennis and padel players who land hard. Found in GEL-RESOLUTION 9 and GEL-GAME 9 PADEL.

FLYTEFOAM™ and FF BLAST™

Lightweight midsole foams. FLYTEFOAM keeps shoes light and responsive; FF BLAST adds extra bounce. See SOLUTION SPEED FF 3.

TRUSSTIC™

A rigid piece under the midfoot that stops the shoe twisting during quick changes of direction – important on court. Found in the GEL-ROCKET 11.

DYNAWALL™, DYNAWING™ and DYNAWRAP™

Stability features in the midsole and upper that support side-to-side movement – key for tennis and padel.

AHARPLUS™ and PGUARD™

A durable outsole rubber and a toe protector – both make the shoe last longer if you drag your feet.
