ASICS GlideRide Max
Max-stack rocker trainer with FF Blast Max foam, a Guidesole rocker, and an embedded EVA plate for smooth, efficient long runs. Well suited to runners who like a pronounced roll-through ride that saves the legs over distance. Runners who prefer a flexible, ground-feel shoe or a snappy tempo trainer will find it big and bossy.
Reach for the ASICS GlideRide Max for long runs, everyday training miles and easy recovery days. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Smooth aggressive rocker
- Leg-saving cushion for long runs
- Stable for its height
- Rocker ride is polarizing
- Not for fast days
