ASICS Noosa Tri 15

A triathlon-bred lightweight trainer with bouncy FF Blast Plus foam, a sockless-friendly upper, and quick-entry elastic laces. The loud colorways are a signature, but underneath is a genuinely fast, fun shoe for tempo runs, short races, and brick workouts. Runners who never touch a wetsuit still buy it for speed days.
