Buying Showcase: Trail Footwear Asics Gel-Fuji Racer
Designed with extreme runners in mind, the Gel- Fuji racer is the Asics’s collection’s top shoe. Weighing in at 245g, this is the lightest ever trail shoe from Asics. The lightness can be attributed to the low profile of the Solyte midsole. Lower than other Asics trail shoes, the midsole has a 15mm rearfoot and 7mm forefoot, creating a 7.5mm gradient (as opposed to the usual 10mm found on other models). The lower gradient brings the foot closer to the ground, delivering a smaller transition from touch down to toe-off during downhill running.
