What are the best running shoes for triathlon? And do triathletes really need different running shoes? The answer varies depending on who you ask. Many people use regular running shoes for triathlons, but there are running shoes designed specifically for triathletes. One of these is the ASICS NOOSA TRI model, of which I have owned several pairs. Now the newest model has been launched ASICS GEL-NOOSA TRI 16. Here is everything you need to know about the new shoe model.
ASICS has been active at the beginning of the summer. In June, the newest model of GEL-KAYANO came out on the market and recently the hyped ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 was presented. On the first of July, two more interesting models were launched when ASICS MAGIC SPEED 4 and ASICS GEL-NOOSA TRI 16 were launched. The latter is thus specially designed for triathletes and has several updates.
Here are all the updates visualized:
The New Features of the New ASICS NOOSA TRI 16
The ASICS NOOSA TRI™ 16 is designed to provide an energized forefoot and advanced energy conservation, making it a perfect choice for runners seeking performance and style.
The NOOSA TRI™ 16 features bold colors and patterns combined with a breathable mesh upper that keeps feet cool and comfortable. The dynamic design not only looks fun but also contributes to optimal performance.
Lightweight Cushioning for Soft Impact
Equipped with FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning in the midsole, this shoe provides lightweight and soft shock absorption underfoot. This ensures a comfortable run by reducing the impact on your feet with every step.
The ASICSGRIP™ lower density outsole, which borrows technology from the Performance Trail category, provides excellent grip while maintaining the necessary flexibility. This ensures stability and confidence on different surfaces.
The lightweight, technically engineered mesh upper provides a unique balance of comfort, breathability and fit. This design minimizes the need for additional overlays, resulting in a stylish and efficient performance.
The curved sole construction of ASICS GUIDESOLE™ technology reduces ankle flexion and provides a shock-absorbing landing zone. This innovative feature helps reduce stress on the feet, making each step more efficient and less strenuous.
The 3D SPACE CONSTRUCTION in the heel allows for a greater deformation of the midsole, providing a more cushioned feel. This feature is also gender-specific to accommodate the different gait patterns of men and women, improving comfort for all runners.
Energizing FF BLAST™ PLUS Midsole
The FF BLAST™ PLUS midsole foam is lightweight, energetic and cushioned, providing a lively ride that guarantees running pleasure. This advanced cushioning technology makes every run both comfortable and exciting.
The ASICS NOOSA TRI™ 16 running shoe combines vibrant design with advanced technology to enhance your running experience. Whether you’re looking for energetic performance, exceptional comfort or outstanding style, this shoe gives you it all.
