For all of you who complaining about that little piece of gel. As you know these shoes designed for running. That little piece of gel protects your joints because those little piece of gel can reduce most of the shock when your hill touch the ground. I saw i experiment(independent) a guy did cut the gel out of the shoe and dropped an egg on it from 30 cm. The egg did not cracked as the gel reduced the shock. So yes they called gel shoes not because the whole shoe made of gel. It has a purpose and according my experience they do their job
You really don't need much gel for it to work. If they put in as much gel as the average person imagines is necessary the shoe would be too heavy to run in. Try one on, you'll see the difference between gel and foam. Their $70 gel shoes are better than the $130 crap I was buying from Nike when I consistently had shin splints and stress fractures. They have an entire facility dedicated to testing these shoes, they know more about the shoes than some dude with a knife and random YT commenters.
@@tammyandthetrex I've been suffering from shin pains for a looong time. I've tried different running methods & exercises to get over it but nothings seems to be much effective. Also, I've been thinking about changing the shoes. Is the Asics shoe capable of absorbing the shock while running? Can it help in the shin splint factor? As you've mentioned about having shin pains yourself, kindly enlighten this poor fella regarding this matter. ❤️
Back in nineties and 00s GEL was an integral part of the midsole and did play considerable role in reducing the impact. However, foam tech has dramatically improved over the past 20 years, which is why Asics started their campaign of gradually phasing it out by bringing new GEL-free models to the table. Whole RIDE and BLAST series as well as racing options. They don't have GEL purely because the tech is obsolete. Modern foams are far more efficient than gel in every aspect. GEL models have solid following, so Asics can't just stop producing them. Instead, they do it gradually and rightfully so. In particular, Novablast has proven to be a huge success in both impact absorption and energy return. We're yet to see Asics move on. They have gained good momentum, so it may not be too far.
Fully agree. Gel is no longer necessary with newer light and responsive foams. Gel is more a marketing gimmick nowadays. They put just a miniscule and insignificant amount just to justify the labelling of "gel". Gel is totally unnecessary nowadays with new foam materials.

@@adityaop9555 What you don't know is the Business aspect of it. You add this piece of jelly and double the price in the name of research. They can add more gel to the same shoe, but they don't. if they add more gel, they can't sell the shoes with higher gels for premium price.
Thanks for the video 👍 it's worth noting that if you have shoes for running that are not quite comfortable enough , you can improve them by putting gel pads in them, I've done this to several of my running shoes, they're only about £7 for two sets so worth it 👍

Bro comparing an egg not being broken to a full grown man running in a shoe. A lot more impact lol. Iq lacking bro.
they put that there so they wont get sued when someone complains there is no gel in the shoe.

Why is it even there? I think its there, just so that they can say "GEL" in the name

don't blame you. pretty sure you have no idea the myth of Asics.

they even put a hole in it 😂
He is going to hurt himself cutting like that.
6:37 yes the gel piece is what you get for $200. Nevermind the rest of the shoe. That part is free right? Eyeroll*
"Gel" in name only...
What will this gel be helpful for using as a valve for bathroom taps
Great video. I am moving to Saucony shoes and brooks shoes from now on.
What cost the nife?
Just enough to put gel on the label and for advertisement.
puny gel lol. great vid!
It's sad. Asics, shame on you bastards!

Nice cooking 🍳 video
The gel is there for marketing purpose. Gel is an outdated tech. Modern shoe midsole foam are more than adequate without gel.
Look there is some dung on the mid of the sole😂😂😂 and this guy cutting it like its nothing there… ‘LMAO’
That is the Gel? it is just a marketing gimmick

The gel thing in asic shoes are all BS. They just use the gel word for marketing and dupe the costumers in believing this Asic gel technology.
I see you’ve played knifey spoony before
Is tha even enough
Hexagonal wafer thin hole punched wafer of "gel"... Brilliant way to market a gimmick.
Shoelaces
Nike is trash compared to ASICS
İs this gel-contend 6?

Shocker! There’s almost no gel in a low end pair!

How is that little piece supposed to do anything wtf. Gel must be all marketing anyway or else we’d be sleeping on gel mattresses
I dont trust with asics gel technology ... For badminton prefer power cushion technology with confident😅
Gel kamo are better, they do have gel

You need to improve your handling and knife skills.
Fraud!

Such a tiny gel can reduced what kind of impact
