Lightweight Running Shoes

ASICS Took Three Years To Develop These Lightweight Sneakers

After Asics spent three years trying to develop these lightweight sneakers, they are finally set to release.

Called the 'DynaFlyte' this shoe was designed to be exceptionally light and weighs in at only 270 grams. It's 'FlyteFoam mid sole' allows it to be extremely light and the shoe brand tested more than 300 prototypes of that material until they were satisfied with its design. The unique material is built with "reinforced fibers and is 55 percent lighter" than other mid soles of its kind. The shoes come in a variety of colors and each have a neon sole accompanied with a more classic top.

These diligently designed lightweight sneakers provide increased efficiency while running, which Asics hopes will increase speed and distance for avid runners.
