Minimalist running shoes seem to be the choice for many runners these days. Whether putting in mileage or just being worn casually, just about any direction you look, you can pick out a pair of lightweight minimalist runners on the feet of someone nearby. Asics is ready to take over the minimalist running shoe genre with the Asics GEL Blur33.

The Asics GEL Blur33 recently arrived at Eastbay in women’s colorways. Its name is inspired by the 33 joints in the foot that allow it to move efficiently. Along with the already available colors, a number of colorways will be available featuring the comfort and flexibility that Asics is known for. The inner sockliner features the Asics ComforDry technology that helps fight off bacteria and odor. While the GEL cushioning that makes Asics running shoes some of the most trusted available, is placed strategically in the heel. Asics also worked up a creative video to show just how light the GEL Blur33 is and you can check it out below.
