The Asics Gel Stratus shoe has reached its 2nd edition, sporting a revamped design!
It has an upper with a simpler and less aggressive design if compared to the previous model. The upper is characterized by thightly woven mesh inserts, that improve ventilation, and synthetic inserts, to offer safety and stability to your foot.
Characterized by Rearfoot and Forefoot Gel Cushioning technologies, which consists in silicone materials that offer good cushioning in the heel and forefoot areas to dampen shocks during ground-impact phase and reduce loading forces encountered by your foot while running. This improves performances and reduces the risk of injuries.
Moreover, the ComforDry sockliner offers optimal cushioning while creating a cooler, dryier and more healthy environment for your foot.
Equipped with Speva technology, a cushioned, lower midsole that grants stability and comfort even over long distances.
With Trusstic technology, a powrful thermo-plastic material that creates a gap in the midsole, right under the foot arch, that helps in stabilizing the shoe while running, without losing flexibility.
It also has the Guidance Line technology, a heel-to-forefoot gap in the intersole that offers better adaptation for your foot while running.
With the new version comes also the Impact Guidance System (IGS) technology, a system designed to make all the single component of the shoe work toghether, from the heel to the tip of the shoe, granting a more natural movement.
Asics Gel-Stratus 2, a lightweight and well cushioned shoe designed for neutral runners in search of a comfortable shoe.

Forefoot GEL
ASICS GEL is a shock absorption system that uses silicone to satisfy the needs of both amateurs and professional athletes. Forefoot GEL reduces the force of the load during push, increasing performance and drastically reducing the risk of injury.
Guidance Line
Guidance Line places a visible groove in the mid and outsole that follows the foot's center of pressure from heel to toe. The result is a more adaptive running platform, creating a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with each stride. The Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.
I.G.S.
The Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.) is an Asics design philosophy. It aims to make shoe components from rear to midfoot and forefoot to work together effectively to allow the body to perform in a natural manner. Asics designers strive to compliment, not correct, how the legs and feet move.
Rearfoot GEL
ASICS GEL is a shock absorption system that uses silicone to satisfy the needs of amateurs and professional athletes alike. Rearfoot GEL offers omni-directional shock absorption, it not only absorbs harmful shock, but helps to stabilize impact forces on the heel.
SpEVA
SpEVA is an exclusive Asics midsole material that optimizes the "compression and rebound" phenomenon, reducing the flattening of the midsole.
Trusstic System
The Trusstic System offers a bit more torsional rigidity for added support.
