Product Description

Comfort and Performance in Every Stride
The ASICS GEL-CONTEND® 8 is designed to meet the needs of neutral runners who value cushioning, support, and durability. With a 10mm heel drop and weighing just 295g (10.4 oz), this road-running shoe offers a balanced ride for runners with normal-sized arches. The shoe provides an even distribution of pressure from the front of the foot during push-off, reducing the risk of injury while maintaining effective shock absorption.

Key Features and Technology

• Surface: Optimized for road running.
• Neutral Pronation Design: Perfect for runners whose foot lands on the outside of the heel and rolls inward to absorb shock and support body weight.

Comfort and Support

• Jacquard Mesh Upper: Flexible material stretches with your foot’s natural motion while enhancing airflow for a comfortable fit.
• Synthetic Stitching Overlays: Improve foothold support and durability.
• OrthoLite™ Sockliner: Ensures excellent step-in comfort and supports a snug fit.

Innovative Cushioning for Every Step

• Rearfoot GEL® Technology: Absorbs impact during footstrike, providing a softer feel underfoot.
• AMPLIFOAM™ Cushioning: Adds long-lasting durability and enhances overall comfort.

Improved Flexibility and Stride Consistency

• Flex Grooves in the Outsole: Enhance flexibility, making transitions smoother.
• GUIDANCE LINE® Technology: Supports a more consistent and efficient stride.

Sustainably Designed

• At least 20% of the upper material is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions.
• The sockliner is created using a solution-dyeing process that reduces water usage by 33% and carbon emissions by 45%, compared to conventional dyeing methods.
