FlyteFoam is the foam most of ASICS's modern running range rests on, and the DynaFlyte is where it started. The brand introduced the material in 2016 in the first DynaFlyte, selling it as a lighter midsole compound that did not give up durability the way low-density EVA usually does, the point being a trainer that felt fast without feeling thin.
The third generation carried that forward as a neutral daily trainer: moderate cushioning, a relatively low profile, and a shoe meant for steady mileage and tempo work rather than recovery running. SP make-ups like this one strip the graphics back to a single colour, black across the upper with a white midsole underneath.
FlyteFoam has since split into a family (FlyteFoam Propel, FF Blast, FF Blast Plus and their eco variants), and the DynaFlyte name eventually gave way to newer lines. Its place in the brand's history is fixed, though: the model that took ASICS past GEL alone and into foam as the main cushioning story.
