Our verdict

The Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics provides an impressive mix of cushioning, comfort, and affordability. Our tests, however, uncovered key drawbacks like limited durability and insufficient outsole coverage, making it unfit for demanding trails. But for those with minimal durability concerns and a super-tight budget, this shoe stands out as an exceptional choice.

Who should buy

We really enjoyed testing the Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics and believe it’s a compelling option for:

  • asics tiger runner black white.
  • Beginners tackling exclusively easy terrain, as they will find this a versatile and affordable entry point to trail running.
  • Those who want the reliability and comfort of a daily road trainer, but with trail-ready enhancements.

Who should NOT buy

Serious trail runners, in our opinion, should avoid the Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics. We think it’s best suited for beginners or casual users tackling easy terrain. For a better-performing alternative, we recommend the Merrell Nova 3. While slightly pricier, it offers a Vibram outsole for better grip and is purpose-built for the trails.

We also believe durability-conscious runners should pass on the Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics despite its budget-friendly appeal. Instead, we suggest the asics andersson bell x gel 1090 glacier grey silver glacier grey silver, which offers enhanced longevity and versatility. Although it comes with a higher price tag, its bouncy ReactX midsole and more durable construction can make it a better investment.

Cushioning

Heel stack

The Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics it's just a rugged version of the popular Asics Men's Gel-Nimbus 21 Dark Grey Glacier Grey For Sale quantity, so it didn’t surprise us to discover a generously cushioned heel. In our tests, we measured 37.7 mm, slightly more than the road model’s 35.2 mm, thanks to the trail-specific lugs.

In fact, we found the midsole to be identical to its road counterpart. For runners with a pronounced heel-striking technique seeking great joint and muscle protection, this shoe simply offers an outstanding price-to-cushioning ratio.

The forefoot is also impressively cushioned at 27.6 mm, making it a good choice for those seeking a protective ride. However, for trail runners craving a grounded and feedback-rich feel, this shoe offers quite the opposite experience.

Drop

We measured a 10.1-mm heel-to-toe drop, slightly higher than the stated 8 mm, making the shoe even more better for beginners and heel strikers. Advanced trail runners often prefer lower-offset options like the asics accelerate chaqueta de running RBEASB.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

For a midsole to function effectively as a cushioning system, it needs more than thickness—it requires at least decent-quality foam. Sporting a low MSRP, that’s not always guaranteed, but ASICS delivers here with Amplifoam+.

We found that ASICS retained the same compound from its road counterpart, an EVA-based material offering a balanced underfoot experience. It felt neither overly soft nor excessively firm. Our durometer test confirmed this with a measured hardness of 22.9 HA.

Rocker

The Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics features a more pronounced rocker compared to most trail shoes, and there are two solid reasons for this. First, as we’ve mentioned, it’s based on a road shoe design, retaining the same midsole. Second, its substantial midsole benefits from the added rocker.

ASICS Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics Rocker

Gel

After many years, the bulky GEL piece in the heel of this series has been removed from most ASICS running shoes. In its place, we discovered a really small greenish GEL piece tucked in the heel beneath the insole.

This piece is different (and cheaper) from the next-gen PureGEL found in shoes like the ASICS GT 2000 13. While it’s meant to enhance cushioning, we think this subtle addition is here just to keep the GEL name alive, as it’s barely noticeable during runs.

Footwear ASICS Gel-Excite 8 GS 1014A201 Black Hot Pink

We’ve already mentioned that this shoe is essentially a rugged Asics Men's Gel-Nimbus 21 Dark Grey Glacier Grey For Sale quantity, which means the upper was designed using the same last. There’s no specialized trail version offering extra room or a reimagined design for off-road use.

Since the road version serves as a daily trainer, we believe the fit will accommodate most runners comfortably. At 97.3 mm in the widest part of the toebox, this measurement is a very average width that fits most foot shapes.

Our second measurement of the toebox came in at 74.7 mm, which is slightly more tapered than we’d hoped and could present challenges for runners with wide feet on day-long adventures. And unfortunately, a wide version isn’t available.

Stability

Lateral stability test

The Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics is better suited for neutral runners despite its broad dimensions. In our view, its high stack height and absence of stability-focused elements make it evident, and our testing confirmed this.

Torsional rigidity

After twisting the shoe, we assigned it a 4/5 score for torsional rigidity. While this might seem high, it’s quite normal for trail running shoes, thanks to the added thickness from the rugged outsole.

Midsole width - forefoot

The width of the Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics is substantial and caters to runners who don’t mind a larger shoe. At 118.8 mm, this width helps counterbalance the towering stack height and stabilizes the ride on easy trails.

In our view, this isn’t a drawback, as the shoe can't handle technical trails anyway—where a bulkier design would be a disadvantage—making its wider platform a practical choice for its intended use.

Weight

In our view, the weight of the Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics is a pleasant surprise. ASICS managed to keep it at 10.3 oz or 292g—close to the average for trail shoes—while incorporating more cushioning than most. This was achieved by reducing rubber coverage and exposing more midsole, a trade-off that sacrifices durability for weight savings.

We found that the updated outsole with 4-mm lugs and the rugged upper added only 0.8 oz or 24g compared to the Asics Men's Gel-Nimbus 21 Dark Grey Glacier Grey For Sale quantity, which weighs 9.5 oz or 268g. From our perspective, this increase feels quite reasonable.

Breathability

Being based on a road shoe, we expected solid breathability, but the Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics landed with a balanced 3/5 score for ventilation. While not exceptional, this design ensures enough airflow for comfort during warm days while remaining cozy for winter runs, making it a versatile, all-season option.

Using a LED light, we discovered that airflow is limited to the toebox, which enhances durability and stability in other areas of the shoe. However, this focus means that runners prone to blisters or hotspots in the middle or back of the feet might encounter issues, so it’s worth noting.

We then examined the Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics under our microscope to see how its engineered mesh compared to the Asics Men's Gel-Nimbus 21 Dark Grey Glacier Grey For Sale quantity. The trail version features fewer openings for airflow, which makes sense given its added durability demands.

ASICS Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics Microscope

The upper is impressively reinforced with durable TPU layers and overlays, creating a protective yet comfortable structure. These additions should significantly reduce wear and tear, even with heavy use, while maintaining sufficient padding for longer runs.

We consider that the toebox remains the most vulnerable spot in terms of durability, but for the price of this shoe, we’re genuinely impressed. The combination of comfort-driven features and robust materials on this upper delivers excellent value.

Durability

Toebox durability

The light test we conducted hinted at durability concerns—this was evident from the start. However, in our view, we expected more resilience than what translated into a disappointing 1 out of 5 score.

By the way, the white plastic piece visible after the hole is made is part of our testing setup, not the shoe itself. It ensures the upper stays in place, allowing consistent testing across all shoes.

Outsole hardness

One of the compromises for achieving such a low price point is ASICS replacing their advanced ASICSGRIP compound, commonly found in pricier trail shoes like the ASICS Trabuco Max 3, with a simpler rubber. This trade-off reduces traction slightly but maintains decent grip—and we must say that's impressive for this price range.

In terms of hardness, we measured the rubber at 86.4 HC, which aligns with the average for trail shoes. While it lacks the grippy, claws-like feel of higher-end outsoles, we found it sufficiently durable and reliable for casual trails.

Outsole durability

In our durability test using the Dremel, the rubber showed significant wear, leaving a 1.8 mm mark—nearly double the average result we usually observe. This raised concerns about its resilience on harder surfaces.

We also believe that running more than one or two miles at a time on roads with this shoe is a very bad idea, as the rubber would wear out rapidly. However, we think it should hold up reasonably well on softer terrain, where abrasion is less of a concern.

Misc

Lug depth

The outsole of the Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics incorporates 4.0-mm lugs that perform reliably on easy, non-technical trails. In our experience, these moderately deep lugs offer good grip, especially for routes with light debris or compact terrain.

ASICS Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics outsole
Why is the outsole coverage scarce? It’s a result of retaining the design of the road counterpart and simply adding a layer of trail-focused rubber.

However, we discovered that the outsole design leaves much of the midsole exposed, significantly limiting its effectiveness on moderate trails. The lack of extensive rubber coverage makes the shoe less suitable for environments requiring added protection, confining its best use to simpler, less demanding paths.

All in all, with somewhat-deep 4.0-mm lugs that lack durability, it’s clear ASICS didn’t intend this shoe to be a door-to-trail option, reserving that role for their “TR” versions of road shoes. However, the outsole design leans more toward a hybrid model than a true trail shoe, leaving us somewhat puzzled.

Price

One trend we’ve consistently observed is that trail-running versions of daily trainers often see a price hike of $10–$20. However, the Bolso de viaje amarillo Core de Asics defies this pattern, retaining the same budget-friendly price as the Asics Men's Gel-Nimbus 21 Dark Grey Glacier Grey For Sale quantity.

That's Clouds, and in our opinion, makes it one of the most value-packed trail shoes we’ve tested in quite some time.
