About
The GEL-SONOMA™ 6 running shoe is designed for the great outdoors. Taking inspiration from the ASICS trail running family, this shoe is a versatile offering that's functional for trail runs, light hiking, and other outdoor adventures. We also used fewer resources to color the sockliner for a more sustainable design approach.The focus this season was to improve the fit of the upper, so we implemented a new last design that provides a more secure midfoot and heel fit, while the wider toe box allows the toes to spread out. The synthetic stitching on the overlays is designed to improve durability while also helping feet stay secure and reduce slipping. Underfoot comfort stems from a full-length AMPLIFOAM™ midsole and GEL™ technology cushioning unit that's placed where runners need the most impact absorption. To increase the softness with every step, we've included an ORTHOLITE™ sockliner for excellent comfort. Additionally, the multi-directional grip outsole improves traction on a variety of surfaces.All of these comfort components are complemented by durable properties, such as the solid rubber outsole—making this shoe a versatile choice for the trails.

The perfect middle ground
There has always been something of an argument as to whether it's better to be tall or short. And as always, the ones doing the arguing have no idea what it's like to be the other. So, while tall folk like to joke that they can at least reach the top of the kitchen cabinet, they're also more likely to have been made to stand at the very back of all their school photos. It's not a great feeling. And yes, we're talking from personal experience.
Those on the shorter side often love to pass comments like 'how's the weather up there?', and boast about having an easier time finding clothes that fit. But they're also more likely to get asked for their ID at a club - which, now that we think about it, is flattering in its own way.
At the end of the day, it's important to love the skin you're in and the height you have. And it's all the better when all of us can find a healthy middle ground, like our main deal of KOIKOI 100% cotton shorts. Shorts that everyone can love themselves in.
