New fuzeX Running Collection FUSES Performance and Style

ASICS unveils a complete new collection of running footwear and apparel, fuzeX. Designed to meet the needs of a new generation of runners looking for versatility and design, fuzeX provides the ideal balance between performance and style.

Available for men and women in a range of vibrant colours, fuzeX will be available at ASICS online stores and selected running outlets worldwide from February 2016.

Introducing New fuzeGEL Technology for Lightweight and Protection

fuzeX footwear introduces fuzeGEL technology—a unique composition of regular midsole material and GEL to promote a smooth and comfortable gait by absorbing shock upon impact and propelling runners forward on repulsion. In addition to the full length fuzeGEL, fuzeX features an 8mm heel drop and molded engineered mesh upper to give runners support whilst retaining overall lightweight.

Designed for Active Style

The minimalist design features three-dimensional curves along the entire upper to reflect energy radiating smoothly as the heel hits the ground. With a range of colour variations, runners can enjoy wearing fuzeX not just when running or training but also in day-to-day wear. fuzeX will also include a range of coordinating apparel similarly designed for lightweight, protection and versatility.
