The GEL-TRABUCO 11 shoe is a versatile trail style that offers adaptive stability with less weight. It's reimagined with better traction for the trails​ - an adaptive guidance system and wide basenets help create a more stable ride on varying terrain. They're functional for when you need extra support during the later stages of your outdoor excursion.​
Engineered Mesh Upper
The upper of the Gel-Trabuco 11 is crafted from a highly breathable engineered mesh. This allows the foot to stay feeling and smelling fresh as hot air and moisture can escape through micro-perforations and fresh air can flow in simultaneously. It is soft for maximum comfort and features reflective details to ensure you remain visible in low light. A traditional lacing system keeps your foot locked down securely, whilst a lace garage keeps laces in one place to prevent them from untieing or getting in the way.
FlyteFoam Blast Midsole
The Gel-Trabuco 11's energetic underfoot ride comes from its one-piece FlyteFoam Blast midsole. This foam is softer and bouncier, providing a great feel from footstrike to toe-off. The soft and energetic nature of the midsole increases the underfoot softness, almost enveloping the foot in a plush, supportive wrap. The midsole is made up of multiple compounds to bring you a cushioned and explosive ride from stepping out to stepping in. FlyteFoam Blast is the main cushioning compound because of its lightweight foam formulation and high energy return. Its lightweight foam construction reduces drag allowing you to run faster for longer whilst the elastomer creates a high energy return for increased bounce and unrivalled toe-offs. Resilient and innovative, FlyteFoam Blast technology lets you run with the feeling that your feet aren't even touching the ground. Its reinforced, organic fibres let the material bounce back to its original shape after every run, so you can train harder, more frequently and for longer without the worry that your shoes might not be able to take it. A full-length guidance line ensures your foot is guided through the gait cycle whilst improving midfoot structural integrity by reducing imbalance caused by shifts in your centre of pressure when navigating uneven terrain. Gel cushioning in the heel improves impact absorption and creates a softer feeling at footstrike.
ASICS Grip Outsole
ASICS proprietary outsole rubber provides high grip on various terrain, without compromising durability. The ASICS Grip Outsole offers improved grip on a range of surfaces both wet and dry for fast confident footing. The lugged outsole pattern features ASICS Grip rubber while incorporating an uphill and downhill lug pattern on the lateral and medial side of the shoe to improve traction on slippery terrain. Additionally, a rock protection plate helps the outsole stay flexible and shield the foot from abrupt terrain or trail debris.
