ASICS: where performance meets purpose
ASICS has long been trusted by runners who value comfort that lasts and technology that genuinely supports the way the body moves. Guided by its founding philosophy, ASICS trainers are designed to reduce impact, improve efficiency and help runners feel stronger both physically and mentally.
For neutral runners seeking maximum protection on longer runs, the GEL-NIMBUS delivers plush cushioning with a smooth, controlled ride. The GEL-CUMULUS offers a slightly firmer, more versatile feel, ideal for runners who want comfort without sacrificing responsiveness. If you enjoy a more energetic ride, the Novablast stands out with its lively foam and modern geometry, creating a springy, forward-moving sensation.
Runners who need additional support consistently rely on the GEL-KAYANO, a long-standing stability favourite. Its structured design helps guide the foot naturally, offering confidence without feeling overly restrictive.
At Up & Running, we stock ASICS shoes for men and women and back them with expert fitting advice, both in-store and online. Whether you’re building mileage or refining your rotation, shop with confidence and choose ASICS footwear shaped by science and trusted by runners worldwide.
