ASICS GEL-1130

 

The Gel-1130 debuted in 2008 as an entry-level stability runner and a more accessible alternative to the high-performance Gel Kayano series, borrowing heavily from the Gel Kayano 14 and the ninth iteration of the Gel-1000 series. It offered runners a stable, budget-friendly shoe with GEL cushioning in the heel and a Trusstic system for midfoot stability. In 2021, the Gel-1130 saw a re-release, aligning with the resurgence of retro running sneakers and Y2K fashion trends. Its design has since evolved into a cultural streetwear and fashion icon, popular in lifestyle and athleisure outfits
