Time to add another place to your store rotation. ASICS—known mostly for its running shoes, among gear and sportswear for the active lifestyle—has its 457-square-meter concept store located on the ground floor of the Glorietta 2.
You can find pairs of shoes built for different occasions and use—trail, speed, energy, as well as indoor activities, tennis, among others—on the walls of the store. The main highlight is their latest GEL-NIMBUS 25, which is touted as the world's most comfortable running shoes, infused with their new PureGEL tech as well as ASICS' other Spring and Summer 2023 offers. In the middle sections of the store are the activewear and accessories such as caps and bags.
There's more to the new concept store than just its shoes and gear. There's a dedicated space for a foot ID, which includes a 3D Foot Scanner with an advanced 3D Foot Mapping System that "analyses and unlocks knowledge about their feet and running style," plus a gait test. A treadmill is present for this. Just in case you're serious about running, it's ideal to know about your foot condition and running style, thus a better guide in finding the right pair of shoes for you.
There's also a locker room and shower room, said to be the first store in the Philippines to have them, but they're exclusive for members of the ASICS Running Club, which you can join by scanning the QR code in the picture below.
To get you excited for your first visit, here are snaps of the new store.
The new ASICS store is located on the ground floor of Glorietta 2, Ayala Center, Makati. They are open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Monday to Thursday) and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. (Friday to Sunday).
