ASICS Trabuco Max 2 Trail Running Shoes The ASICS Trabuco Max 2 shoe draws inspiration from the concept of technology and how it can be synchronized with nature to free the mind and body. It continues to provide advanced energy savings and cushioning properties to help you navigate the trails with less effort.​ Jacquard Mesh Upper Breathable jacquard mesh uppers will encase each foot in durable comfort. Perforations in the fabric increase airflow to create a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. Minimal synthetic overlays wrap the shoe for increased support during lateral movements, while an internal heel counter anchors your foot to the midsole, reducing in-shoe slippage so that you can enjoy smooth, distraction-free strides. Additionally, there is a gaiter system which helps to further improve support and protect you against dirt or debris. A gusseted tongue repels kicked-up dirt and debris, whilst the lacing system keeps your feet securely locked in, preventing in-shoe slippage. FlyteFoam Blast Plus Midsole The Trabuco Max 2 has been constructed using FlyteFoam Blast Plus cushioning which provides the perfect balance of lightweight and rebound properties. These layers of protection, bounce, and comfort provide you with unmatched shock absorption and a lively ride. Its reinforced, organic fibres let the material bounce back to its original shape after every run so that you can train harder, more frequently, and for longer without the worry your shoes might not be able to take it. Alongside this, the shoes use Guidesole technology, which is a sole construction that consists of a responsive toe spring that's been scientifically proven to save energy over long runs. Due to the reduced load placed on limbs from footstrike to toe-off, the technology gives trail runners more potential to run further since they'll be using up less energy. Finally, an Ortholite insole provides soft step-in comfort. ASICSGRIP Outsole ASICS proprietary outsole rubber provides high grip on various terrain, without compromising durability. The ASICSGRIP outsole offers improved grip on a range of surfaces especially wet and slippery conditions, giving you confidence on the trail. The lugged outsole pattern features ASICSGRIP rubber while incorporating an uphill and downhill lug pattern for improved agility when navigating varying topography.
