Smart shoes are not new as we have seen a couple from some manufacturers. However, this one from ASICS is quite different. This is not designed to just count your steps but to actually help you run better and save you energy.

At the on-going CES 2020, ASICS’ Energy Research Lab unveiled a working prototype of its smart running shoes. The smart shoe is actually a pair of its new EVORIDE running shoes with an ORPHE TRACK sensor embedded inside it. The sensor was developed in partnership with Japan’s no new folk studio Inc. (nnf).

The ORPHE TRACK sensor will track a number of features including kick strength and stability and provide real-time feedback and suggestions to help you run better.

The EVORIDE itself is a new pair of running shoes from ASICS. It is its lightest and most affordable energy-saving running shoes to date. ASICS says the EVORIDE is built around its GUIDESOLE technology that is designed to reduce movement in the lower leg to help runners “save energy” and “run more efficiently”.

The new EVORIDE running shoes will be available for sale globally starting February 7, while the smart running shoes will launch later this year. While the images above show the ORPHE TRACK sensor inside the new EVORIDE shoes, the look of the final product is still unknown.
