Gel-Contend 9 Shoes

The ASICS GEL-CONTEND® 9 running shoe is engineered to deliver reliable cushioning, stability and durability for everyday running and training. Designed with supportive structure and responsive comfort, this versatile trainer helps you move confidently through your workouts.

Soft cushioning with lasting durability

The midsole combines Rearfoot GEL® technology with AMPLIFOAM+ cushioning, enhancing impact absorption while creating a softer feel underfoot. This cushioning system supports comfortable transitions and long-lasting performance across daily runs.

Breathable comfort with supportive fit

A jacquard mesh upper improves airflow and adapts to the foot’s natural motion, promoting all-day comfort. Synthetic stitched overlays reinforce support, providing a secure and stable foothold throughout your stride.

Stability for confident movement

The TRUSSTIC® support unit and wrap-up outsole enhance midfoot stability while allowing natural flexibility. GUIDANCE LINE™ technology encourages a more consistent stride, helping improve efficiency and control—especially during side-to-side movement.

Sustainability-conscious construction

At least 20% recycled upper materials help reduce waste and carbon emissions, while the solution-dyed sockliner minimizes water usage and environmental impact during production.
