Asics GlideRide

Like MetaRide (see below), Glide Ride has a rockered sole designed to propel runners from one step to the next. But to make that feeling less alien, Asics reduced the sole’s curve and increased the midsole’s cushioning, creating a more approachable introduction to a new way of running.

Lululemon License to Train Collection

From: shop.lululemon.com
When you’re in the gym, all you really care about is being able to focus on, say, tightening your transverse abdominus without getting hung up on your duds — and that’s where this stuff delivers. These clothes are so well constructed, you’ll feel like you’re wearing nothing at all.
|
Maurten Gel 100 Caf 100
Price: $50

|
Nike Joyride Run Flyknit
Price: $130+
From: nike.com
If you hate running, these are the shoes for you. Why? With each step you take, thousands of tiny TPE beads move around to adjust to your foot strike, mimicking the feeling of soft sand, minus the extra soreness at the end.

Nike Waffle Racer
Price: $85
From: nike.com
Ever aware of its past — and the public’s appetite for it — Nike has reintroduced this iconic shoe. The latest version’s got some modern touches, including a memory foam sockliner and dual-density foam midsole.

Nyrvana Smart Chocolate
Price: $PRICE
From: nyrvana.com

|
TRX Rocker
Price: $50+
From: store.trxtraining.com
With its spiky, medieval-looking edges, the TRX Rocker appears borderline sadistic, and that’s kind of the point. Rock into such hard-to-target areas as the hamstrings, quads and calves with that section, and it’s like turning a Swedish massage into a deep-tissue session
|
Under Armour UA Rush
Price: $40+
From: underarmour.com
