ASICS Men Gel DS Sky Speed 2 Running Blue Sports Shoes

Once you go under 10 ounces in a running shoe you have to give something up. For most shoes, it is stability. For some shoes, you lose cushioning. The asics GEL-DS Sky Speed 2 manages to retain enough of both to make this a viable everyday shoe from a category usually reserved for race day and speed work. For runners, this is an interesting buy. For long distance triathletes, it’s a secret weapon. asics has it all right with the GEL-DS Sky Speed 2, for it provides enough cushioning and stability to do Ironman distance races, coupled with absolute lightweight comfort.
