GEL™ technology helps athletes deal with impacts and twists, offering bounce in some areas, softness in others, and stability overall. It has transformed ASICS high-performance shoes across a number of sports. The technology dates back nearly 40 years, but it continues to develop and advance.

With fresh looks and designs and the performance to back it up, Asics is leading the way in giving runners what they want. We've run a ton of miles in all of these shoes, and can tell you that these are the best they have.

Asics (アシックス, Ashikkusu) is a Japanese multinational corporation that produces sportswear. The name is an acronym for the Latin phrase anima sana in corpore sano (translated by Asics as "a sound mind, in a sound body").

“They are very good quality and made with materials that are safe, comfortable, and durable.” Which Asics runners are best? While Asics has numerous running shoes in its line-up, our best overall picks are the Gel-Nimbus 24 and the Gel-Cumulus 24 because they're comfortable and supportive.
