ASICS launches the Glideride 3 designed to preserve runners’ energy

ASICS have launched its GLIDERIDE 3 running shoes, a versatile ‘training partner’ designed to help conserve a runner’s energy, allowing them to log more miles when distance training.

The latest GLIDERIDE 3 harness an updated design to enable a smoother and more comfortable run. The shoes benefit from GUIDESOLE technology to provide effortless energy to the wearer, helping to reduce ankle flexion through the curved sole design, allowing runners to roll through training with less effort and providing a lighter load placed on the foot.

GLIDERIDE 3 sees FF BLAST PLUS cushioning added to the shoe’s midsole, creating a softer touchdown at footstrike, while providing a more responsive rebound at toe-off. It also features a redesigned engineered mesh upper for improved comfort, wrapping the foot and increasing airflow to keep runners’ feet cool.

The OrthoLite X-55 Sockliner makes the shoe even more comfortable, providing a plush step-in feel with an energized rebound. Offering superior breathability, the sockliner is also effective for managing moisture and keeping feet comfortable.

AJ Andrassy, Director, Global Footwear, Performance Running Footwear, Product Management at ASICS, said: “With the launch of the new GLIDERIDE 3, we are striving to use our advanced market-leading technologies in order to ensure runners are equipped to achieve high level performance and protection. What’s more, these shoes offer the improved comfort and versatility required so that runners can choose how they want to train. However many miles they log in the GLIDERIDE 3, the shoes’ cushioning will allow runners to conserve their energy and therefore maximize the uplifting benefits of movement on the mind.”

As part of the recent unveiling of the ASICS State of Mind Index, a landmark global study which indicates a positive link between exercise and mental health, ASICS is inviting the world to take part in the 15:09 Uplift Challenge.
