Space trusstic

The introduction of Windlass Mechanics into asics running shoes has revolutionised the way we think about athletic footwear. Windlass Mechanics assists the auto-support structures, the tendons, ligaments, muscles and bony architecture to convert the foot from a mobile structure at heel strike, to a powerful rigid lever at propulsion.

The new asics Space Trusstic system works with the complex functions of the foot to facilitate Windlass Mechanics. As the foot strikes the ground, asics I.G.S. componentry are activated to attenuate the shock at heel impact and help guide the foot safely to the mid stance phase of the gait. The deformation clefts and rearfoot GEL achieve this with great efficiency. Mid stance is signalled by foot flat and this is the most vulnerable time for the foot and leg in terms of potential injury. It is also a time when many shoes try to control pronation with very stiff mid soles and high stiff arch support. These anti-pronation strategies actually do more harm than good by interfering with normal Windlass Mechanics.

Space Trusstic is new I.G.S. componentry and an evolution, if not revolution of our benchmark trusstic technology. The Space Trusstic system is not integrated within the EVA. Rather it is suspended below the midsole EVA forming a distinct pocket or space into which the EVA of the mid foot section of the shoe can distort. The result is that torsion stability of the shoe is maintained but pressure on the plantar facia is released enabling tension with the transition from foot flat to propulsion. This is designed to facilitate the all-important Windlass Mechanism. Space Trusstic is a natural extension of I.G.S. and an enhancement of Windlass Mechanics.

So, asics continue their quest with the new ComforDry Sockliner, SpEVA lasting and the brilliant new concept Space Trusstic
