ASICS Gel-Patriot 12 Running Shoes

Designed to help runners go further, the Patriot 12 running shoe features an Amplifoam midsole for a bouncy and cushioned underfoot feeling. This shoe is complemented with a breathable mesh upper to promote better airflow and help feet stay cooler over the course of your run.

Mesh Upper

The upper of the ASICS Gel-Patriot 12 is made with a lightweight mesh. This is covered in micro perforations, which allow heat, moisture and vapour to escape, whilst simultaneously encouraging fresh air to enter and circulate for a pleasant cooling sensation. Reduced weight overlays add lightweight support and structure, helping the shoes to keep their shape and stay durable over long term use. An internal heel counter secures the heel and rearfoot in place for improved stability and a locked-in feel that inspires confident strides. The traditional lacing system helps anchor the shoe to foot further, for improved control.

Amplifoam Midsole

AMPLIFOAM technology in the midsole assists in supplying a spring-loaded response and shock reduction between each stride. Designed to work with all 33 joints in the foot, this technology provides soft cushioning that helps keep your feeling healthy and happy. The Amplifoam unit is engineered to maintain durability at softer densities, providing better flexibility, comfort and platform adaptability - ideal for natural running. Lightweight and resilient, Amplifoam spares your joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces. This midsole is topped with a removeable EVA sockliner for an extra, optional layer of step-in comfort and support.

Moulded Rubber Outsole

An excellent durability offering, the integration of a moulded rubber outsole delivers additional support that stems from the internal heel counter to help the feet stay aligned over long distances. The rubber outsole is able to form a solid bond with the ground beneath it to ensure traction and grip on road surfaces. This durability and traction enables you to run with complete confidence, knowing your shoes will keep you grounded at all times. As well as this, the rubber outsole is highly durable to ensure long-lasting wear. The durable nature of the rubber will not wear down easily, so you can go further for longer with complete confidence. Completing the outsole are flex grooves which assist with grip and form a solid base to push from. The grooves allow the whole of the outsole to naturally flex where the foot flexes to increase comfort as well as performance.
