The Asics Glideride Max 2 is built for effortless efficiency, offering a smooth, balanced ride that helps you glide through daily miles with less fatigue. Designed with a breathable engineered woven upper and a dual-layer midsole system, this model delivers cloud-like cushioning and an energy-saving roll from heel to toe. FF BLAST MAX foam creates soft, cushioned landings, while a layer of FF BLAST PLUS adds lightweight responsiveness. Between them sits a hard-pressed EVA plate shaped with GUIDESOLE™ rocker geometry — reducing ankle flexion and promoting easier, more efficient transitions. The result is a ride that feels smooth, fluid, and effortless whether you're logging recovery miles or cruising long runs. Features Engineered woven upper enhances breathability and keeps the foot cool during longer efforts. GUIDESOLE™ technology uses a curved rocker design to reduce ankle flexion and conserve energy. FF BLAST MAX foam provides plush, cloud-like cushioning with a soft, protective feel. FF BLAST PLUS foam adds lightweight bounce and responsiveness for a smoother toe-off. Hard-pressed EVA plate sits between midsole layers to support efficient, easy transitions. HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ outsole delivers durable traction using ASICSGRIP + AHARPLUS™ rubber. EVA sockliner improves step-in comfort with added underfoot cushioning. Heel pull tab allows easy on/off without compromising fit or comfort.
