Spanning across decades of design evolution, the GEL-1130™ sneaker 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 retro runner’s comfort is remixed for the streets, featuring GEL® technology in the heel for all-day cushioning.
Building off the aesthetic of the GEL-LYTEâ„¢ III sneaker, the LYTE CLASSICâ„¢ shoe is formed with heritage details that pay homage to the ASICS archive. Complete with retro ASICS branding on the tongue and heel, this shoe is constructed with a suede makeup that's complemented with a gum rubber outsole for a throwback look. Simplified with an EVAâ„¢ midsole construction, this sneaker is made to promote lasting comfort and support. Referencing recognizable details from the ASICS heritage, the LYTE CLASSICâ„¢ sneaker emerges as a new silhouette with an urban appeal.
The EX89â„¢ sneaker blends the heritage influences of the GEL-EXTREMEâ„¢ basketball shoe from 1989 with modern cushioning properties.
It was originally created by Toshikazu Kayano in the late 1980s as his first design project with ASICS. The upper’s layered leather construction is also met with spirited color blocking that matches the era’s iconic NBA team uniforms.
We updated the cushioning system with our FF BLASTâ„¢ technology. It's met with a sculpted heel shape to improve underfoot comfort during everyday scenarios.
The outsole’s pattern is meant to mirror the view of a city from the sky. This functional grip feature was initially inspired by the designer’s first business trip to the United States in 1987.
The GEL-LYTE® III OG sneaker resurfaces once again with its original shape and construction that it featured in the early 1990s.
This shoe's construction is reworked with suede overlays, a textured mesh, and a gradient fade on the midsole. Meanwhile, key elements like the split-tongue are met with a retro cage application on the quarter-panel for a heritage look.
Lastly, the shoe's GELâ„¢ technology in the heel helps provide a comfortable underfoot feel.
The JAPAN Sâ„¢ sneaker draws inspiration from the spring season.
This silhouette features a lightweight design and cupsole that's made for comfort. It's also paired with nostalgic branding, like the ASICS Stripes on the quarter-panels and "ASICS" lettering at the heel.
Originally worn by basketball players in the 1980s, this shoe reimagines its iconic court details with a modern lens.
The tooling retains its wavy design from when it first hit the running market in 1993. Only this time, we've revamped the midsole's construction by using at least 20% recycled materials to support more sustainable manufacturing.
