ASICS Gel-Venture 9 GS Junior Trail Running Shoes

The Gel-Venture 9 GS (Grade School) shoe is designed to provide good cushioning for active feet. Meanwhile, the outsole features an advanced traction pattern that's versatile for various surfaces.

Breathable Mesh Upper

Mesh uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Tiny perforates in the fabric increase airflow; creating a better, healthier environment for little feet to thrive in. Abrasion-resistant overlays increase the shoe's durability and reinforce its trail-worthy state, wrapping the foot to provide lateral support and reducing in-shoe slippage for a smooth, distraction-free ride. A stitched-down bumper covers the toes to defend against roots, rocks and general trail hazards.

EVA Midsole

EVA resides in the midsole to provide lightweight cushion and underfoot comfort. Sitting beneath this midsole platform is a rearfoot GEL Cushioning System, implemented to attenuate shock; sparing your little one's joints as they strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces.

Trail Specific Outsole

A rugged, trail-specific outsole completes the Gel-Venture 9; employing reversed lugs to gain uphill and downhill traction on all types of terrain. ASICS' Trusstic System works diligently to reduce the overall weight of the shoe, without sacrificing stability; thus creating a lightweight but supportive trail running shoe. Built with the mini explorer in mind.
