Tried and tested protection with AHAR
The classic ASICS High Abrasion Rubber (AHAR) makes up the outsole of the GT 2000 6. It is made of blown carbon rubber, giving the shoe durability and protecting the midsole from wear and abrasion. The material is also able to withstand high impact, thus enabling the shoe to grip various surfaces effortlessly. The AHAR is also utilized in the GT 2000 7, which is this shoe's successor.
At the forefoot area is a softer blown rubber, known as DuraSponge. It equips the shoe with additional cushioning so that the toe-off is more comfortable and flexible.

Introducing in the GT 2000 6 is the Flytefoam, a midsole technology that provides a superior level of responsiveness, no matter the distance. It is made of organic fibers that prevent packing out, which is typical with traditional foams. This midsole material allows resiliency without adding weight to the shoe.
The forefoot and rearfoot areas have the signature Gel cushioning system, which consists of a silicone-based gel. The Gel cushioning aids in shock absorption, especially during impact. In this version, the Gel pad is angled upward which makes the cushion firmer at the heel strike, resulting in a more balanced midsole.
The top layer of the midsole is ASICS’ special ethylene-vinyl acetate (spEVA), which delivers an increased energy return. SpEVA utilizes the properties of traditional foam and rubber balls. They both provide sufficient shock absorption and rebound qualities.
Stability features of the GT 2000 6
Like all other versions of the GT 2000, this shoe features the Impact Guidance System (IGS), which works by enhancing the foot’s gait. IGS promotes natural movement; hence, the shoe works with the foot instead of controlling it.
To reduce overpronation, the shoe employs Dynamic DuoMax. This feature decreases the stress on the foot while bringing adequate support for a comfortable ride, which makes the shoe suitable for daily usage.
At the midfoot area is the Guidance Trusstic System, a stability structure in the form of a resin material. It prevents unnecessary twisting during foot movement. This technology also offers additional torsional rigidity.
Meanwhile, the forefoot area has Guidance Line, a vertical flex groove that improves gait efficiency. Guidance Line reduces imbalance caused by shifts, thus enhancing the run. The vertical groove works by directing all pressure towards itself, therefore supplying a balanced running form. This feature is especially useful for beginner runners.
Another unique feature of the GT 2000 6 is the gender-specific cushioning. The women’s version has a lower-density spEVA layer, giving more bounce-back.
The removable sock liner is made of ComforDry; it adds cushioning and wicks away moisture for a dry foot environment.
Seamless and comfortable upper coverage
The open mesh upper of the GT 2000 6 enables a ventilated coverage. It has a seamless finish that wraps the foot comfortably without restricting breathability.
An exoskeletal resin heel counter called the Heel Clutching System provides improved support and a more precise fit. It works by “clutching” the heel, thus permitting stability.
The shoe uses a traditional lacing system, but what makes it unique are the Discrete Eyelets. Instead of conventional lacing eyelets that are connected to one another, the Discrete Eyelets are separately laid, allowing tension forces to be distributed according to the foot shape.
