Asics GT-2000 14: Premium Stability for Demanding Pronators
The Asics GT-2000 14 1011C056-404 is the benchmark men's running shoe for pronating runners seeking maximum stability, superior cushioning, and structural support over long distances. Ideal for daily training and races up to the marathon, this shoe combines latest-generation technologies with a distinctive Dark Teal/White design.
Advanced Technologies for High-Level Performance
FF BLAST™ PLUS Cushioning: The FF BLAST PLUS foam midsole provides exceptional energy return and soft yet responsive cushioning that protects joints and muscles during prolonged runs. Compared to the standard FF BLAST version, the PLUS guarantees 20% more impact absorption, ideal for medium-to-heavyweight runners or distances over 15 km.
3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™: Advanced stability technology that combines sole geometry and differentiated densities to naturally guide the foot during the stance phase. The 3D GUIDANCE system reduces excessive pronation without stiffening the stride, maintaining fluidity and comfort even after 30+ km.
Breathable Engineered Mesh Upper: The engineered mesh upper ensures optimal ventilation in areas of high perspiration, keeping the foot cool and dry even in hot conditions. The wrap-around structure with strategic reinforcements offers a secure and adaptive fit without pressure points.
AHARPLUS™ Outsole: Highly abrasion-resistant rubber placed in areas of greatest wear (heel and forefoot). Guarantees 50% longer durability than standard rubber and reliable traction on wet, dry asphalt and mixed surfaces.
