Midsole The AMPLIFOAM cushioning material provides good cushioning and energy return and a super comfortable feeling under the foot. It has a lower density and is formulated to increase softness. It gives the best in all six aspects of cushioning: impact absorption, fit response, pressure relief, energy return, durability and weight. ASICS' GEL technology, which is also incorporated into the midsole in addition to the foam, improves shock absorption and makes the landing softer.

The result is a better fit, less strain on the feet and more comfort while running.
