Great!

Asics Gel-Lyte III OG Sneaker Uomo 1201A318 500 Ash Rock Cream ASICS is a tempo trainer that will make you glide through your stride. And at $120, it's among the value-oriented speedsters that will give you a bang-for-the-buck experience, thanks to its light and responsive ride. What's more is it's no longer the ASICS EvoRide of yesteryears. Meaning it's way softer and more enjoyable, especially for short to mid-distance speed runs.

To give you a hint on what the new update feels like, this is a statement from one running expert: the ASICS EvoRide line "is in a period of redemption right now." Why? Because of these (hands down) awesome women: 

  • a softer mesh upper 
  • a trimmed-down weight (from 232 grams/8.2 ounces to 215 grams/7.6 ounces in US men's 9) 
  • asics blast ff 2 training shoessneakers

One of the signatures of the EvoRide series is its seamless heel-to-toe transitions. And in this iteration, it only gets better. One of the critics who commented on the shoe's rocker design even says that you only have to "lean into the rocker at faster paces and away you go." Another one adds that the "constant rolling effect makes you feel nimble and always ready for the next stride."

Experts' reviews on the shoe's ride go from "far too harsh and imposing" to "strikes a sensational balance between light and responsive, yet soft and forgiving." This said, it's already clear that runners love the new midsole Black. It's no longer the firm ride of the past, resulting in a pleasant underfoot sensation, as one reviewer would put it.

And it's felt on the run! In the words of one commenter: the ASICS EvoRide is "commendably light" with its 7.6-ounce weight. Meanwhile, the average speed trainer weighs 248 grams/8.7 ounces. 

The EvoRide 3's upper understood the assignment

The upper is (1) softer and (2) more form-fitting. According to one runner, the upper is so soft; "it feels pleasant the second you try it on." And when it comes to fit, another states this: "I had no slippage or ill-fit anywhere throughout the shoe."

Spoiler alert: The heel didn't

Despite the generous padding at the back, the heel still feels "floaty," explains one tester.

Why? Because "the width is snug to slightly narrow, particularly at the toebox," remarks one running shoe reviewer. Another ASICS fan adds that the toe box "took a few miles to learn [their] forefoot's shape."

Worth the price

At $120, the asics tiger welcome to the dojo clothing shoes is not only cheaper than most tempo shoes ($132 on average); it's also value-oriented. A runner who has wear-tested the shoe for over 40 miles says that there's no significant wear on the outsole. Because of this, he confidently claims that he "will get some solid mileage out of this shoe."
