Does any of the Asics line-of-shoes have “Zero Drop?” (http://www.asicsamerica.com/Footwear/Running-Shoes/#/mens)
I am only interested in Asics and I am quite aware of other companies who offer and or promote zero drop shoes. I am an Asics fanatic and I am interested in trying something within this category.
Thanks
from what i know (and that’s not much), Asics has actually refused to buy in to the “zero drop” “fad”.
again, from what i’ve heard, they are developing newer and lighter shoes, but aren’t going to venture into the minimal drop or “zero drop” territory.
don’t worry, if i’m wrong someone will be quick to point it out!
I won’t claim to know about everything Asics makes but to my knowledge there isn’t a zero drop shoe in their lineup.
The closest to it I think would be their Piranha SP 4. Unfortunately these shoes are racing flats which means unless you are comfortable with such little cushioning, they will probably not be suitable for training.
Next closest I would guess would be the Hyper-Speed 5’s which are also pretty light

ASICS doesn’t believe in it: http://zero-drop.com/?p=2736 an insightful quote into the way ASICS currently thinks in that post, straight from the horse’s mouth.
cool. thanks.
the debate in the comment section of Jordan’s link is painful.
It basically boils down to who’s right in the absence of evidence.
“You have no evidence for your side, so I’m right.”
“You don’t have any evidence for your side either, so I’m right.”
Interesting reading, since Dr. Kirby made me my first pair of orthotics.
