Amazon.com Product Description
The GEL-Fluent 2, with its sleek and fast design, is certain to draw attention while offering a superior level of cushioning and support for even the most active of runners.
From the Manufacturer
In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

Fluent 2
I have used a pair of New Balance Zips for the last year and liked them...Until i bought the Fluent 2s. The first time i ran in them, i took 2 minutes off my first mile. it felt like the shoes themselves were propelling me forward.
I tried on many different Asics, Sauconys, NBs, Pumas, etc..and these were instantly comfortable. I am a bigger guy, 210 lbs, and i overpronate a bit and the Fluent2s took any discomfort in my knees, legs, and ankles i would get from my old shoes. a lot of cushioning from heel to toe and some arch support, but not too much for a neutral foot.
The transition from heel to toes while in stride is very smooth and makes you want to run faster. i had to add on to my usual route because my pace went up, along with my heart rate, just to get to my usual time.
i recommend these shoes to any bigger runners out there.
Good in warm weather
The cushion isn't very good. The sole is kind of rigid in cold days, not much cushion as I though. As you may know, the material gets very stiff when temperature is low. So, wear it and run in warm weather. Also, check Asics website to see if your feet fit these shoes. Each model is designed for a specific type of feet.
