Asics has a real winner in the Noosa style of running shoe.  I've been a Nike Air devoute for years often having to purchase a new pair every six months since they usually broke down at that time.  Intro the Asics Noosa with it's strong Gel cushion and durability....this is my second pair which i'lll use with my perfectly good original pair which is still going strong.  Good Job Asics!
