If there's one thing Asics knows well, it's cushioning. The latest addition to the brand's vast cushioning series comes in the form of the GEL-Flux running sneaker for both men and women.

Designed specifically for underpronators to mild overpronators, the GEL-Flux features Asics' popular Guidance Line technology to give runners a smooth transition from heel to toe. The sneaker comes with additional flex grooves in the forefoot for flexibility, along with Gel units in both the heel and forefoot for impact resistance and overall gait efficiency. The shoe's breathable mesh upper is housed on a full-length springy SpEVA midsole designed to add a bounce to your step.

The GEL-Flux will be available starting June 1, 2013, with a price tag of $100.
