AHAR: Acronym for ASICS High Abrasion Rubber. Placed in critical areas of the outsole for exceptional durability
APMA Seal of Acceptance: Designated shoes have the use of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) Seal of Acceptance
Biomorphic Fit: Stretch material strategically placed on the upper helps to reduce buckling and the potential for irritation
ComforDry Sockliner: Provides cushioning performance and anti-odor properties for a cooler, drier, healthier environment
DuoMax Support System: A sport-specific dual-density midsole system positioned to enhance support and stability
DuraSponge Outsole: A blown AHAR rubber compound for enhanced cushioning and durability in the forefoot

Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.): ASICS design philosophy that employs linked componentry to enhance the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe off
Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Cushioning System: Attenuates shock during impact and toe-off phases, and allows movement in multiple planes as the foot transitions through the gait cycle
Solyte Midsole Material: A lighter weight midsole compound than ASICS' standard EVA and SpEVA. Also features enhanced cushioning and durability
Space Trusstic System: This midfoot stabilizer creates a pocket between the Trusstic System device and the midsole, allowing for controlled midsole deformation and more efficient foot function

Clutch Collar System: A descendant of the Heel Clutching System, an Endoskelatal collar compliments the exoskeletal heel counter for a uniquely secure fit
Guidance Line: Vertical flex groove decouples the tooling along the line of progression for enhanced gait efficiency
Propulsion Trusstic: Mimics connective tissue in the foot by creating tension as foot enters propulsion stage
Biomorphic Fit Upper: Stretch material strategically placed on the upper helps to reduce buckling and the potential for irritation
