Notable elements of the ASICS HyperGel Yu
Protection from abrasionThe outsole unit of the ASICS HyperGel Yu is made of rubber. This compound protects the rest of the sole unit from the abrasive characteristic of the surfaces. It also makes sure to provide traction through its inherently grippy build and the mild traction nodes that line the forefoot and heel. Flex grooves are shallow canals that streak across the front and back of this shoe’s external pad. Such a design allows the foot to bend naturally as it takes each step, thereby making the running experience as smooth as possible. Energized toe-offs with HyperGelThe midsole unit of the ASICS HyperGel Yu is made up of the HyperGEL technology which involves a full-length foam that’s filled with tiny beads of silicon-based gel. This feature energizes the toe-off and responsibly attenuates impact shock during the landing phase of the gait cycle. An OrthoLite sockliner is placed on top of the primary cushioning unit. This add-on provides extra support for the underside of the foot. It has antimicrobial and anti-moisture capabilities which allow the interior chamber to maintain a clean and healthy environment for the foot. Secure and breathable foot environmentThe outer part of the ASICS HyperGel Yu’s upper unit is made of a porous mesh. This material covers the foot and keeps it secure inside the interior space. The various holes that pockmark its façade allow air to slip through and maintain a cool and dry environment. Printed overlays take the shape of the ASICS logo, and they grace the sides of this running shoe. These synthetic add-ons help the fabrics and the lacing system when it comes to providing a snug and secure fit. The heel part features a stitched-on overlay. This layer helps in locking the back of the foot in place and preventing it from exiting the foot chamber unexpectedly. The inner sleeve is made of soft fabric, and it hugs the foot without causing any irritation. It doesn’t hinder breathability because it also has holes for ventilation. The padded tongue and collar cushion the Achilles tendon, the ankles, and the instep. Furthermore, these parts of the silhouette center the foot and avert in-shoe wobbling or destabilization. |
