Spanning across decades of design evolution, the ASICS GEL-1130 "White/Red" Unisex Shoe pays homage to the ninth iteration of the GEL-1000™ series.
The stability running shoe from 2008 was originally inspired by the GEL-KAYANO® 14 sneaker, featuring similar aesthetics as the hero trainer. Its traditional materials have been repurposed with synthetic leather paneling to evolve the shoe with a more modern aesthetic.
Additionally, this heritage runner’s comfort is remixed for the streets, featuring GEL® technology in the heel for all-day cushioning.
