Asics Gel DS Trainer 15 Men's Shoes Wh/Lime

There is a reason the DS Trainer is a top seller in the lightweight support category. It has a lower profile, snug performance-oriented fit and a smooth ride with great flexibility. The DS Trainer 15 maintains all of these attributes with little change from last year's model. The collar height is slightly lower and the road feel is just a tad softer. Another great shoe from Asics.

introduction
The DS Trainer 15 is a moderate feature shoe designed for the mild to moderate overpronator. This lightweight training shoe has a semi-curved shape.

cushioning
Rearfoot Gel cushioning system is a medium sized silicone based gel that attenuates shock during impact. Forefoot Gel cushioning system is a silicone based gel that attenuates shock during toe-off. Impact Guidance System (IGS) is utilized in the lateral heel to further decouple the shock of the heelstrike.

midsole

Solyte is Asics' top of the line cushioned and responsive midsole. Solyte is very light for the level of cushioning and durability it delivers.
DuoMax Support System is located in the medial midfoot and is a dual density midsole that is designed to reduce excess pronation.
Space Trusstic System is located at the bottom of the midsole and is made out of thermal plastic. This gender specific midfoot unit controls midsole deformation which allows for natural foot movement while stabilizing the midfoot of the shoe.
Propulsion Trusstic is layered over the Space Trusstic System and is a thermal plastic unit that connects the lateral heel to the medial forefoot. Immediately before toe off, the unit undergoes tension which stores energy that is then released to accelerate propulsion of the foot.
Impact Guidance System (IGS) is Asics' design philosophy that enhances the foot's natural gait.

upper

Biomorphic Fit Upper is a stretch material located in the forefoot which moves with the foot to reduce the potential for irritation.
Open mesh encompasses the majority of the upper and offers breathability to keep the foot cool.
Asics logo is located at both the medial and lateral sides of the upper to keep the shoe snug to the foot.
Asymmetrical Lacing Design better follows the shape of the foot for an improved fit experience.
ComforDry Sockliner is made from an anti-bacterial material that not only reduces odor and moisture but also provides additional cushioning.
Slip Lasting involves wrapping and stitching the upper in a bootie-like shape before it is glued to the midsole to increase flexibility and decrease weight.

outsole

Asics High Abrasion Rubber (AHAR) is located in the heel and is a carbon rubber that offers exceptional durability.
DuraSponge is located in the forefoot and is a blown AHAR compound that delivers cushioning, responsiveness, and flexibility.
WET GRIP Outsole is primarily located in the forefoot and is a special blend of organic and non-organic components designed to increase traction on wet surfaces.
