ASICS Gel-Pursue 8 Women's Running Shoes
The Gel-Pursue 8 is a versatile option for a wide variety of runners. The shoes utilise a Flytefoam midsole alongside GEL technology, strategically positioned to keep strides soft and comfortable. These technologies provide advanced shock absorption while keeping the shoe lightweight.
Jacquard Mesh Upper
Providing you with a breathable running experience, the shoes utilise a mesh upper construction, providing a constant flow of air throughout the shoes. The strategically placed perforations through the construction keep feet feeling cool and comfortable throughout your running or training session, which will also ensure that a build-up of moisture is prevented and that your feet remain dry. The shoes have plush, cushioned collar and tongue that sits comfortably against your foot, to help prevent irritation or chafing. A traditional lace-up closure keeps your foot secure within the shoes, preventing in-shoe slipping from occurring. Reflective details keep you safe on low-light running sessions by enhancing your visibility.
At least 75% of the shoe's main upper material is made with recycled contents, reducing waste and carbon emissions.
FlyteFoam Midsole
Providing you with lightweight cushioning and underfoot comfort, the Gel-Pursue 8 has a FlyteFoam midsole which will also provide you with lightweight, comfortable strides. This midsole compound is durable, lightweight and responsive, which helps keep things soft underfoot for comfortable strides. Embedded within the midsole is a Rearfoot GEL cushioning system, which helps to attenuate shock during footstrike, sparing your joints as you land onto hard, unforgiving surfaces, and promoting a smooth transition through the gait cycle.
AHARPLUS Outsole
To supply you with durable underfoot traction, the shoes have an AHARPLUS heel plug, and ASICS Lite rubber compound. The AHAR+ compounds will help to improve the durability of the shoes, whilst also ensuring you have a grip on a variety of surfaces. The ASICS LITE rubber is lightweight and stronger than standard outsole rubber, due to the bio-based cellulose nanofibre. Flex grooves also adorn the outsole to provide added traction and allow for natural foot flexion providing an easy, unhindered pace.
