The Glideride Max 2 is ASICS' max-cushion way to glide through easy miles. FF BLAST MAX foam in the top layer of the midsole promotes soft landings and a responsive toe-off, and a hard-pressed EVA layer with a rockered design sits beneath it. With a 6 mm drop at 267 g, it carries a lot of cushion without feeling ponderous.
It suits easy and long road runs when you want plenty of cushion and a rocker to help tired legs roll through the stride. It is a neutral shoe for steady mileage.
It is not a fast shoe. The EVA layer is there to guide rather than propel, so do not look for race-day snap; this one is built for comfort over pace.
