It\u2019s named after the beach in Australia that triathletes use for training and racing. It has always been known as a triathlon racing shoe and will always offer those easy-to-slip-on features<\/strong> like the heel or tongue pull tab. \r\n\r\nI am not a triathlete but I do appreciate the effortless effort I need to put forth to get these shoes on. I have been enjoying just slipping my feet into them with no hands and then lacing them up.\r\n\r\nYou'll love how lightweight they feel<\/strong> coming in at 6.9oz for women and 7.9 oz for men. And having a 5mm heel drop makes this neutral running shoe a very stable one. \r\n\r\nThey will cost you $130 for this updated version. Is that an ok price? I\u2019d say it\u2019s very reasonable considering the quality of the shoe and the new technology it features. \r\n\r\nSpeaking of the technology this shoe has to offer, you\u2019ll get FF BLAST\u2122 cushioning, GUIDESOLE\u00ae technology, AHARPLUS\u2122 outsole, and a seamless engineered mesh upper. \r\n\r\nA similar shoe in the same family is the ASICS Evo Ride 3<\/a>\u2019s or the Glide Ride 3<\/a>\u2019s. Both are part of the Guidesole series. \r\n\r\nOutside the family, you could compare them to the Hoka Rincon 3<\/a>\u2019s. \r\n","introduction_text":null,"conclusions":"[caption id=\"attachment_42950\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1920\"]\"Picture<\/span>[\/caption]\r\n\r\nASICS's NOOSA Tri has been around for several years. It was first created for triathletes but also is a solid shoe for the neutral runner. It's a well-made shoe that is ideal for smooth running. \r\n\r\nThe lightweight feel they give allows you to not sacrifice speed when training or competing in a triathlon.\r\n\r\n \r\nI loved this shoe and I favorably suggest adding a pair to your rotation to spice things up! <\/strong>","model":"Noosa Tri 15","_model":"field_5c1600ad0113f","who_is_it_for":"These are geared towards the runner who is looking for a fun daily trainer that is great for speed workouts.

I love that about them. I\u2019ve been wearing a lot of neutral-colored running shoes and these have been a good change-up. Just looking at them gives you more energy. \r\n\r\nI 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\u2019s paintings. Which I thought was a cool little tidbit.\r\n \r\nTrying them on for the first time, I noticed right away the tongue and how easy they were to slip my feet into them. \r\n\r\nThey 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. \r\n\r\nMy first run in them was a moderately paced 10k run and it went by so quickly wearing the Noosas. It is such a fun shoe to wear<\/strong>. They have been my go-to shoe in summer and I have been recommending them to a lot of people. \r\n\r\nI didn\u2019t personally test out the previous model<\/a> but they look very similar. \r\n\r\nOthers have said they feel almost the same. So if you're looking to try a pair of Noosas out you could try the Noosa Tri 14s and save some money. \r\n","_first_impressions":"field_6313304ba000e","sole_unit":"[caption id=\"attachment_42943\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1920\"]\"Picture<\/span>[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThe midsole is packed with ASICS' signature innovative technology. They have FLYTEFOAM placed all along the sole of the shoe. For this updated model, they have increased the amount of FLYTEFOAM to give more cushioning in the midsole to help absorb the impact to give your feet a more cushioned ride. I think it was an additional 1mm of foam to achieve this.\r\n\r\nASICS is also known for its GUIDESOLE technology. It's designed to make the sole of the shoe curve so that it helps to make that toe-off transition quick and flawless. The GUIDESOLE is also said to help with reducing energy expelled by reducing ankle flexion.\r\n\r\nThey have updated the midsole with a full-length FFBlast cushioning unit. With this, it has created a lighter impact absorption under the foot. \r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_42941\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1920\"]\"Picture<\/span>[\/caption]\r\n\r\nLooking at the outsole, you will see their signature AHARPLUS that helps to improve durability. The outsole performs very well on dry flat surfaces. \r\n\r\nWhen I took them out in the rain or wet surfaces, they were extremely slippery. I had to make sure I wasn\u2019t pushing off too hard in those types of conditions because my feet would slide out from under me. \r\n\r\nYou will notice how connected your feet feel to the ground due to ASICS's full-contact design, which was developed to create \u201ca more smoother and efficient ride.\u201d","_sole_unit":"field_6313305d53bc4","custom_fields":{"model":"Noosa Tri 15","cons":[{"cons_line":"Outsole is slippery on wet surfaces "},{"cons_line":"The tongue rides up a little high "}],"pros":[{"pro_line":"Lightweight and Breathable"},{"pro_line":"Easy to get on and off"},{"pro_line":"Unique colors "}],"vote":"9","weight_oz":"8","heel_drop_mm":"5","heel_mm":"","toe_mm":"","purchased_from_name":"Running Warehouse","purchased_from_url":"https:\/\/www.runningwarehouse.com\/ASICS_Noosa_Tri_15\/descpage-ANT15M0.html?from=guru","comfort":"9","build_quality":"9","upper_rate":"8","sole_unit_rate":"9","landing":"9","transition":"9","toe_off":"9","traction":"7","durability":"7","value_price":"8","who_is_it_for":"These are geared towards the runner who is looking for a fun daily trainer that is great for speed workouts.
