He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul. ## Features - 100% Synthetic and mesh - Rubber sole - Asics' most famous racing shoe is back and better than ever - Breathable mesh upper with synthetic trim - Lightly cushioned footbed - DuoMax® dual-density midsole system adds support - Solyte® midsole for enhanced cushioning and durability ## Images ![ASICS Mens Gel-DS Racer 9 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rxjKu7RfL.jpg) ![ASICS Mens Gel-DS Racer 9 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WIn-mtReL.jpg) ![ASICS Mens Gel-DS Racer 9 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81zbpn6-AKL.jpg) ![ASICS Mens Gel-DS Racer 9 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RE6aYpREL.jpg) ![ASICS Mens Gel-DS Racer 9 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81NeYO1niUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic shoe *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 1, 2013* Several observations. First the negatives.1. Shoe runs a bit small and narrow. Not enough to return. Just not as comfortable and roomy as the cumulus.2. Also, if you ever run on a gravel surface expect to stop occasionally to remove stones from the sole. And if the stone gets caught in one of the water drain holes prepare for a bit of pain as the insole will not protect you.The positives;1. Extremely light. I actually shaved 3 minutes off my best 8 mile run the first time I used them.2. Comfortable. They cradled my foot very nicely.3. Very breathable. Keeps the temperature down.4. Looks great.Overall, highly recommended. I originally bought them for races only but quickly decided they would be my every run shoe. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars a great racing shoe *by B***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2013* Let's just say this up front: this is not a casual running shoe. It's a racing shoe (though not technically a racing flat), and it's a good one at that. It's basically a lighter weight version of the DS Trainer (my regular running shoe), and as such it makes a great choice for running any race in, from a 5K up to a half marathon. I've had good luck with it at all of those distances, though I've opted to stick with the slightly more cushioned DS Trainer for a full marathon (I suspect very fast and lightweight runners could get away with it, but I'm about 180 lbs and run a 3:30-ish marathon).Minus one review star for the unnecessarily flashy color scheme. Come on, ASICS; how about slightly subtler colors for the Racer 10? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars skeptical at first, but the shoe is fantastic *by M***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 6, 2012* I've been a fan of the GEL-DS series. I loved my GEL-DS Trainer 15s but can't find them in my size anymore (should've bought a few pairs last year). Opted to go with the Racer 9s and am really glad I did. The toebox is narrower than the GEL-DS fit I'm used to and I was a little nervous the first time I strapped them on. But, it turns out it's a non-factor; they fit great and they are so light - it's almost like wearing a traditional racing flat. In my mind - these shoes are the best combo of fit/weight/minimalist support that I've experienced. If I could get them in a color that didn't look like I just walked out of a Japanese anime cartoon that involved angry neon clowns fighting each other, I would buy 3 more pairs right now. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/78974100-asics-mens-gel-ds-racer-9](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/78974100-asics-mens-gel-ds-racer-9) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
