The GEL-SONOMA 180 trainers combine ASICS' trail footwear tradition with the advanced design of the GEL-QUANTUM series. The upper construction is the same as the GEL-SONOMA 15-50, originally designed for trail runners on technical terrains. Today, it draws on rugged influences for the urban explorer. The midsole borrows advanced tooling from the GEL-QUANTUM 180 VII. Scutoid GEL technology's 3D geometry allows for more natural movement in everyday life, such as on-foot commuting or exploring new environments. The upper is inspired by the GEL-15-50 cross-country shoe and features a multi-layer counter to enhance durability against abrasion. FLYTEFOAM cushioning provides lightweight impact absorption, and GEL SCUTOID technology improves impact absorption for everyday use.
