Hi I'm Westin, global product line

manager for performance running here at

00:00:09.630 --> 00:00:16.139

ASICS and this the TARTHEREDGE™

running shoe. TARTHEREDGE™ shoe is a new

00:00:16.139 --> 00:00:20.670

shoe designed for racing longer

distances such as 10ks, half-marathons

[Show the side of the shoe with the FLYTEFOAM™ propel logo]

00:00:20.670 --> 00:00:24.840

or even the marathon itself. The shoe

features a lightweight, bouncy sole made

00:00:24.840 --> 00:00:28.320

from FLYTEFOAM™ Propel foam. This

material moves exceptionally well with

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:32.880

the foot for a smooth transition from

heel strike to toe-off. To propel the

00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:37.050

foot forward the midsole has integrated

PROPULSION TRUSSTIC™ technology. Here's

00:00:37.050 --> 00:00:40.890

how it works: the trusstic is specifically

designed to mimic the function of the

00:00:40.890 --> 00:00:44.460

ligaments of the foot. It turns the

flexible part of the foot into a rigid

00:00:44.460 --> 00:00:48.840

lever to propel the foot forward

creating a spring-like sensation with

00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:53.670

every stride. To extend the durability in the heel, we use SUPER AHAR™, a material in

00:00:53.670 --> 00:00:57.960

the high impact areas. In the forefoot we

use DUOSOLE™ which is an extremely

00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.640

lightweight material that provides great

traction and durability. The real magic

00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.299

of the shoe is the fit and the feel of the

upper, which wraps the foot with an

00:01:06.299 --> 00:01:10.500

engineered mesh in such a way to provide

added support in areas where it's needed

00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:14.520

for racing, especially here in the

mid-foot. This is coupled with a soft,

00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:19.400

stretch, suede that is both durable and

supple, and it has a fashionable look. For
