The Asics Gel-Speedstar 5 ($90) is a high mileage running shoe with a great minimalist style. But don’t think that its design is just for show. The Gel-Speedstar 5’s open mesh upper supplies enhanced breathability, the padded tongue and collar provides comfort around the ankle, the asymmetrical lacing design minimizes irritation and promote a custom fit, and the integrated reflective elements can be easily seen even in low light.
