Mako Blue against Barely Rose pairs a mid blue with the palest pink, one of the more considered colour combinations to land on a hundred-dollar trainer. The shoe is the entry-level stability model in the ASICS range, positioned under the GT-2000 and the Kayano and typically receiving newer technology a generation behind them. Version eleven's story is weight and shape rather than materials: it dropped enough grams that reviewers wondered aloud whether it still counted as a support shoe, and its guidance came from a medial post working alongside a full-ground-contact outsole and raised sidewalls rather than from any single firm element. The catch was a narrow upper, which drew enough complaints that the twelfth version arrived with a noticeably wider profile and an extra-wide option. For runners it does fit, though, it remains one of the cheapest ways into a genuinely stable daily trainer.
