Asics Running Shoes Compared

30 Asics models in the ATHLO+ Shoe Lab, grouped by category and compared on the figures Asics publishes.

The point of a table like this is the thing a brand's own site will not show you: its whole line side by side, on the same axes. These 30 span 150 g to 309 g across 8 categories, 7 of them carrying a plate, and 19 distinct midsole compounds — FF Blast+ Eco, FF Blast Max, FlyteFoam, FF Turbo+ / Leap and others.
