There is a ladder inside Asics's stability range, and this is the bottom rung: the shoe a running shop hands a first-time runner who has been told they overpronate but has no intention of spending flagship money to find out. It costs roughly half what the top model does. Support comes from Litetruss, a dual-density arrangement with firmer foam along the inner edge that replaces the moulded plastic post older stability shoes relied on, so the shoe resists an inward-rolling stride without a hard block under the arch. The midsole foam is firm and light, with a Gel unit in the outer heel taking the edge off landings. Reviewers describe it exactly as designed: unremarkable, dependable, better as a starter shoe than as a serious training tool. This pair puts a French blue mesh upper against a shocking orange accent, the brighter of the two colourways released together in the spring of 2022.
