The ASICS GEL-EXCITE 11 is a versatile, neutral running shoe featuring AMPLIFOAM™ PLUS cushioning and an engineered mesh upper, positioned as an entry-level option in ASICS' lineup, ideal for runners seeking comfort and support for daily workouts and fitness routines.
Summary
The ASICS GEL-EXCITE 11 is a versatile running shoe designed for neutral runners seeking comfort and support during daily runs and fitness routines. It features an engineered jacquard mesh upper for enhanced breathability and a softer feel against the foot. The midsole incorporates AMPLIFOAM™ PLUS cushioning, providing a softer and more comfortable ride compared to standard AMPLIFOAM™ cushioning. Additionally, the shoe includes rearfoot GEL® technology for effective shock absorption and an OrthoLite™ sockliner to manage moisture, ensuring a cooler, drier environment. Positioned as an entry-level option within ASICS's lineup, the GEL-EXCITE 11 offers reliable performance and comfort at an accessible price point, making it suitable for beginners and casual runners. In contrast, models like the GEL-KAYANO® and GEL-NIMBUS® are tailored for more specific needs, such as overpronation support and maximum cushioning, respectively, catering to runners with particular requirements.
