Asics Gel-Phoenix 8 Women's Running Shoes
Ideal for overpronators, the Gel-Phoenix 8 gives superb support thanks to its high-tech design, and will take you all the way from building up basic fitness to tough competition training.
Engineered Mesh Upper
Engineered mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforates in the fabric increase airflow; creating a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. Synthetic overlays wrap the shoe for increased support; reducing slippage for smooth, distraction-free strides. A padded tongue and collar feature for an irritation-free fit, because we know how rubbing and blisters can ruin your day. A removable EVA sockliner moulds to the shape of the foot for an extra layer of step-in comfort. Reflective details complete the Phoenix 8's upper, increasing your visibility to passing vehicles and keeping you safe on those late night road runs.
SpEVA Midsole
For enhanced cushioning, the midsole is designed with SpEVA Midsole Material and SpEVA 55 Lasting. The SpEVA Midsole Material improves bounce-back characteristics and decreases midsole breakdown, while the SpEVA 55 Lasting provides enhanced cushioning and comfort. Beneath this foam are the Gel units in the heel and the forefoot. They attenuate shock during impact and toe-off phases, sparing your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving concrete. Lastly, the Gel Phoenix 8 is equipped with the Duomax Support System, making it ideal for those who overpronate. This dual-density midsole system is positioned to control pronation, enhancing support and stability so that you can run with confidence.
AHAR Outsole
An AHAR+ outsole completes the Phoenix 8. Blown, abrasion resistant rubber delivers enhanced cushioning and durability. Reducing the weight of the sole unit is the Trusstic System which also retains the structural integrity of the shoes, while the deep flex grooves in the forefoot enhance flexibility.
