Designed to accommodate the foot's natural bone structure, the Gel-Nimbus 10.1 sneakers are fitted with a dual foam layer and gel inserts that promise to provide plenty of cushioning and support for everyday wear. Whether that's walking, running or just completing an outfit, the Gel-Nimbus 10.1 can do it. Available in men's and women's sizing and different colourways under the same listing.

Ideal for trail runs or hiking, these shoes have a specialised traction pattern designed to support your feet on uneven outdoor terrain. They also feature what Asics calls Rearfoot Gel technology, which promises to absorb impact and, paired with super-soft Amplifoam cushioning, these shoes could be the best friend your feet need. Available in both men's and women's sizes under the same listing, starting at AU$112 a pair.

If you're after a bouncy response from your runners, the Dynablast 3 may be right up your alley. With special cushioning in the midsole and a proprietary Ahar Lo outsole rubber, the shoes have been designed to respond to every step, promising cloudlike comfort from start to finish.

A super stylish pair of casual shoes, the Asics GT-2160 have now dropped to AU$126 at Asics direct. Mimicking shoes from the early 2000s, the GT-2160s have a flowing wave design across the upper and soft cushioning to keep you comfortable all day long.

More fashionable than sporty these days, the Japan S Platforms were inspired by the retro basketball shoe aesthetic, pairing athletic support with courtside style. Available with different vibrant colour accents under the same listing, these shoes will be your new go-to white sneakers this summer.

Much like the Japan S Platforms above, the Skyhand OGs are fashion-focused, available in a ton of bright tones and sizes. The shoes, initially designed for handball players, promise comfortable impact absorption under your foot thanks to a foam cushioning insole and heel wedge. Mixing suede and synthetic leather, these might not be the best option for water-based activities, but they offer superb comfort on long walks — and look great doing it.

Need some running shorts that'll go the distance? Consider Asics' 6-inch pair, now just AU$35. The brand bills them as lightweight, comfortable and providing visibility in low-light situations with the design's reflective details.

Feel cosy and covered up with Asics Mobility Knit pants. The pants have a soft, smooth fabric, minimal seams and tapered legs for freedom of movement. Notably, half the material is made from recycled fabrics, helping reduce waste and carbon emissions.

Much like the women's pair above, the men's sizes of the Mobility Knit Pants are also discounted directly at Asics. Similar in design and features, you can rest assured that these pants will be the cosiest addition to your gym gear.

Emblazoned with the Asics logo, this simple graphic tee will take you from the gym to everyday activities, thanks to its quick-drying, cotton-blend fabric. Available in different sizes and colours on the same listing.
