Just in time for the holiday party season, Asics is getting set to launch the confetti-themed GEL-Noosa 8 running sneaker. Set to launch in December 2012, the latest edition of the high-performing sneaker series is back with its trademark psychedelic design and color scheme. Both aesthetically and performance wise, the sneaker is similar to the popular Noosa 7. The only chances you'll see in the updated model is a drop in weight (from 9.7 oz to 8.1 oz) and an improved support system that Asics refers to as Dynamic DuoMax. The Noosa 8 also has reduced overlays with fewer stitched elements for improved comfort. The shoe will be available in both men's and women's models, with a price tag of $130.

Stay tuned for a Sneaker Report performance review on the GEL-Noosa 8.
