ASICS Performance Gel Pulse 17

The ASICS Gel-Pulse 17 is a neutral running shoe for men, available in black and size 42. This model features a durable construction that provides reliable cushioning and support for daily training runs. The shoe incorporates ASICS GEL technology in the rearfoot area, which helps absorb impact forces upon foot strike, promoting a smooth transition through the gait cycle. The technically constructed mesh upper ensures breathability and a secure fit, while the removable insole allows for the use of custom orthotics. The outsole uses AHAR rubber in high-wear areas for increased durability on various surfaces. The midsole is constructed with AMPLIFOAM cushioning, offering a balanced combination of softness and rebound. The shoe has a standard heel-to-toe drop of about 10 mm, which is typical for neutral running shoes. The weight per shoe is approximately 295 grams for a size 42. The design prioritizes functionality with reflective details for visibility in low-light conditions. This model is the successor to the Gel-Pulse 16 and maintains the core principles of reliable cushioning for runners seeking a consistent and supportive shoe for regular use on roads and paved paths. The neutral last shape is designed for runners without significant overpronation or underpronation. It is recommended to consider your typical running distance, terrain, and individual biomechanical factors when selecting this footwear.
