ASICS launches the new GELTRABUCO 13 shoe for 360 comfort and protection on the trails

The GEL-TRABUCO™ 13 shoe is an all-around trail pioneer, empowering runners to confidently and comfortably conquer the trails while providing advanced protection.

[1 February 2025 – Hoofddorp, The Netherlands] – ASICS proudly introduces the new GEL-TRABUCO™ 13 shoe, the latest innovation in trail running footwear designed to handle any terrain with ease. Following the ASICS Design Philosophy, the GEL-TRABUCO™ 13 shoe has been reimagined with rigorous athlete wear testing, biomechanical science, and the use of sustainable materials. It features cutting-edge advancements, including an FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO midsole for enhanced cushioning, a protective rock plate for rugged terrain, and ASICSGRIP™ technology for unmatched traction on every trail adventure.

Through the eco-conscious FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO midsole, the shoe delivers advanced cushioning while reducing environmental impact, offering a more sustainable solution without compromising comfort and performance. A rock protection plate combined with the ASICSGRIP™ outsole provide superior traction, flexibility, and underfoot protection, making this the ultimate shoe for tackling varied and unpredictable terrains.

Featuring an improved upper that combines all-round protection with durability, the GEL-TRABUCO™ 13 shoe’s technical mesh with ripstop heel detailing and a lace-in-lace system ensures a secure and adaptive fit. Combined with a sand guard tongue, this design offers a better lockdown and optimal protection against trail debris, so runners can focus solely on the adventure ahead.

With a stack height reduced by 0.5mm, the GEL-TRABUCO™ 13 shoe ensures a more agile and controlled running experience. This update makes it the lightest GEL-TRABUCO™ iteration yet, catering to runners seeking a lighter shoe with the same protection properties.

Magdalena Gassebner, Senior Product Marketing Specialist, at ASICS EMEA says “This latest update of our iconic GEL-TRABUCO™ shoe is engineered to provide unmatched comfort and protection for runners to feel their best on the trails. The shoe is the perfect all-rounder and the go-to companion to tackle technical trail terrains with ease. Rooted in the idea of when you move your body, you move your mind, the GEL-TRABUCO™ 13 shoe reflects ASICS’ commitment to developing the most comfortable and superior products to help all runners experience the positive impact of movement on the mind.”

This year’s spring/summer 2025 trail assortment also features the TRABUCO MAX™ 4 shoes, specifically built for runners who prioritise comfort and durability over long and more runnable trails. The TRABUCO MAX™ 4 shoe delivers maximum cushioning and absorbs impact effortlessly, reducing strain over extended runs. Its multidirectional outsole lugs offer exceptional grip for more varied terrain, while the increased toe spring allows for a smoother, more energy-efficient ride.

ASICS complements its trail footwear with the FUJITRAIL™ Collection, including waterproof jackets, lightweight tops, and stretchable sprinters. Designed for all conditions, the collection features Pro-Fit cutting for natural movement, ACTIBREEZE™ technology for breathable comfort, and 3D-patterning to enhance flexibility and freedom on the toughest trails.
