Asics 2008

January 10, 2008

Long awaited updates from Asics have now arrived!

Most notable for 2008 are the 14th edition of the Kayano and 15th edition of the 2000 series.

The 2120, best selling shoe at North Shore Athletics in 2007, has been updated with the 2130. Major changes are seen in the softening of the Solyte midsole material. The laces have been shifted back to provide more room in the toe box and reduce the chances of chaffing on top of the metatarsal joint. The space trussic bridge has been stiffened to offer more support through the midfoot. If you were satisfied with the 2120, look no further than the 2130 for your next pair of shoes.

The same softening of the midsole is seen in the update to the Kayano, along with a new heel construction that improves the fit around the achilles. Midfoot stability and fit have been retained to make the 14th Kayano fit more like the 12th and build on the horrible feeling Kayano 13.

Come check out these two shoes along with the new Landreth, Nimbus and Cumulus shoes!
