I bought the Aquarium/Vibrant Yellow color but they come in 5 other crazy color patterns that are all equally bright. My colorway is said to be inspired by Van Gogh’s paintings. Which I thought was a cool little tidbit. Perhaps the striking aspect of the new shoe is its brightly colored and eye-catching graphics, which are inspired by brush strokes from some of the iconic works of Vincent Van Gogh. These distinctive graphics are complemented by some updated “NOOSA TRI” graphics. DPT/Footwear Science: A- (Firmness of the midsole and secure upper creates a snappy shoe to be used for a variety of runs from race to recovery) They fit true to size with no break-in period needed. They have a very comfortable feel but still had a slightly firm one. I enjoy a tad stiffer shoes when using them for running at a faster pace.

This shoe is designed with speed and comfort in mind – we’ve spent hours testing it at our Institute of Sports Science (ISS) in Japan. The NOOSA TRI™ 15 running shoe includes additional technical features to support you during your runs. Overall: A- ( Really well done performance trainer keeping the weight down and balancing simplicity and innovation) Stability: B+ ( Traction throughout could be better and the amount of exposed foam could be filled a tad to round out the shoe stability wise)What makes NOOSA TRI™ 15 running shoe fast and comfortable? Lightweight FLYTEFOAM™ technology provides added comfort without weighing you down. Comfortable upper design for easier transitions during different stages of a triathlon. Increased toe-spring increases your speed during runs. Ryan: The one aspect that could be improved in the Asics Noosa Tri 14 is the outsole traction. This is especially apparent under the toes where I frequently felt my foot slipping. While with road running this is less of an issue, I wouldn’t choose to take the Noosa 14 trail running anytime soon. My second critique cuts deeper, as style in running is on an equal playing field for me with substance. Why I fell in love with this line in the first place was its unapologetic silliness and a crazy shoe that seemed to stand alone in Asics’ offering. In this go-around, I didn’t receive pink bungee laces along with the standard ones (maybe I’ll get some aftermarket), and the Noosa Tri logo has been moved to a small space on the heel while the traditional ASICS logo now dominates the side and forefoot of the shoe.

Comparing it to last year’s model. This year the weight 218g which is 1g less than last year. The drop stays at 5mm and the midsole material is the same as mention above FLYTEFOAM. Ryan: The Asics Noosa Tri 13 was one of my favorite stable/neutral trainers from last year so I was excited to try out this year's model. The 14 retains many of the features I enjoyed in the 13 but the Flytefoam EVA midsole feels slightly softer underfoot. Despite saying this, the midsole is still quite firm, helping to create a smooth toe off thanks to its pretty significant toe spring. Be aware, this will hold your toes in a small amount of extension making the shoe feel slightly shorter. The heel bevel creates a soft landing leading to a smooth transition to the forefoot and the upper does a good job securing the foot and providing a snug fit. Speaking of the technology this shoe has to offer, you’ll get FF BLAST™ cushioning, GUIDESOLE® technology, AHARPLUS™ outsole, and a seamless engineered mesh upper.Enough with the compare and contrast essay. Let’s get into what’s working with the Asics Noosa Tri 15 and what would fit better in one of Van Gogh’s psychotic episodes. Stability: B+ (Stable/neutral trainer with no true structural components. Still provides a stable ride for runners with neutral to minimal stability needs) Guidesole technology will be enhanced to create a more curved sole that reduces ankle flexion and that, in turn, increases running efficiency.
