Review of Asics DynaFlyte 2 sneakers

The subject of our review is the unique Asics DynaFlyte 2 running sneakers. The manufacturer is a leading Japanese brand of sports equipment. For more than 60 years, this corporation has been producing training clothing and footwear, characterized by excellent quality materials and components with a high degree of lightness and functionality.

General information about Asics running shoes DynaFlyte 2

Asics DynaFlyte 2 became a more advanced version of the DynaFlyte line, the motto of which is “Don't run, but fly!” The sneakers in question differ from their predecessor in their lightness, more neutral design and affordable price. This model can be called universal. These sneakers are perfect for both runners and marathon athletes. The uniqueness of the shoe lies not only in its structural advantages, but also in the ability to adapt to any running pace.

Structural and design features

One of the main advantages of the model in question is its incredible shock absorption and lightness. Weight is only 204 grams. This amazing feature was achieved through a new foam composite.

Thanks to it, when the foot touches the surface, it pronates. The impact load is absorbed and the body weight is thus supported. The height difference is only 8 mm. Moreover, the proprietary Flytefoam absorbs impact by 76%. This allows the training shoe to be incredibly stable and comfortable on any surface. Stylish design and discreet appearance ensured this collection maximum demand.

Design advantages

These include the following parameters:

1. The main part of the sole is equipped with a specialized one-piece element. It prevents foot deformation and ensures stability of movement.
2. The presence of the plate protects the foot from sharp objects, small stones and sticks.
3. A lightweight version of ultra-durable wear-resistant rubber provides comfort and increases service life.
4. The toe and heel are equipped with special silicone inserts. They reduce the impact load on the runner's heels, knees and spine.
5. The waterproofness of the sneakers is ensured through mesh material and technological insoles.
6. The 6 mm thick insoles have an excellent shock-absorbing effect. They “breathe” and prevent moisture and unpleasant odors.
7. The guide line dividing the sole minimizes the risk of injury. At the same time, the runner achieves greater results with less load.

Softness inside and out - these are the first sensations you get after trying on these sneakers. The two-layer upper mesh is very durable. The outer layer “breathes” while running.

The upper part of the tongue is equipped with a soft pad, which is present only in the original models. This provides additional comfort when wearing shoes. The company logo is on top of the tongue.

A simple synthetic mesh was used in the lacing and heel areas.

Round laces were replaced with flat ones. The optimal length and shape of the lacing allows them not to come undone during training.

Reference. During long runs, some athletes have noticed that the airtight mesh is less ventilated, causing the feet to sweat more.

Unlike other models from the brand in question, the Asics DynaFlyte 2 is equipped with fewer reflective inserts on the upper part of the shoe. However, whether this is an advantage or disadvantage of the model is a matter of the needs of each individual athlete.

Sole

One of the main advantages of the described style is the excellent adhesion of the sole to the surface. Numerous test runs took place on asphalt, rocky terrain, tiles, woodland and rubber tracks. Even in these conditions, sports shoes showed the best results.

Soft foam rubber clings to the surface better and is also more wear-resistant. The more durable material covers the areas with the highest potential for wear, which is under the heel. In addition, the sole is equipped with modern elements that improve flexibility and promote a smooth transition from heel to toe.

The midsole area, thanks to the new foam, is characterized by a harmonious balance of shock absorption, light weight and rapid recovery after running. The secret to this amazing effect is the mixing of para-aramid fibers and foam. This allows the composition to spring back energy. The shoes roll smoothly as you run, no matter the distance.

However, the sole has one significant drawback - it is not flexible!

Landing on the leg

Professional athletes and amateurs described the fit on the leg as comfortable and comfortable. The shoe fits well with plenty of room for your toes. After the first wear, the shoes took the shape of the foot and hugged the leg tightly. The heel instantly fixed and did not slip. There were no unpleasant pain or abrasions. Overall, the Asics DynaFlyte 2 manages to create a stable cushioning platform underfoot.

Asics Corporation has once again pleased its fans. The improved model of sneakers coped with many tasks.

With a soft heel-to-toe drop, low midsole thickness, and high-quality materials, these shoes can adapt to any running speed.

In general, during training you feel control of movement and have a good feel for the surface on which you are running.
