Asics Gel-Excite Trail

The Asics Gel-Excite Trail is a versatile, budget-friendly trail runner built for runners who want one shoe to handle daily miles, weekend dirt paths, and mixed-surface routes. It takes the familiar comfort of the Gel-Excite road platform and adds trail-ready touches, including a grippy lug pattern and a more protective upper. Underfoot, a cushioned AMPLIFOAM midsole and rearfoot GEL work together to soften landings and keep the ride comfortable when the terrain turns uneven.

Highlights

• AMPLIFOAM midsole cushioning delivers a smooth, protected ride for easy runs and everyday training
• Rearfoot GEL technology helps absorb impact on firmer ground and rougher landings
• Trail-specific lugged outsole pattern improves traction on dirt, gravel, and light off-road terrain
• Breathable mesh upper balances ventilation with a secure, comfortable fit
• Supportive overlays help lock down the foot for more confidence on uneven surfaces
• OrthoLite sockliner adds step-in softness and long-wearing comfort
• Durable build designed to handle the trail’s changing conditions without feeling overly stiff
