The Birth of the ASICS GEL-1130

Introduced in 2008 as the ninth version of the GEL-1000 series, ASICS GEL-1130 shoes bring with them the perfect mix of practicality and style. They’re unapologetically modelled after the GEL-KAYANO 14, whose asymmetrical upper informs a large part of the GEL-1130's design.

Like many ASICS collections, this sneaker employs GEL technology in the midsole, ensuring maximum cushioning with each step. The shoe also boasts a TRISSTIC support system, which reinforces the sole and prevents twisting.

Despite starting as a running shoe, the GEL-1130 has evolved into something far more versatile: a sport-style sneaker with exercise and fashion applications. It pairs seamlessly with casual attire, enhanced by a design that’s rather understated when compared to the in-your-face silhouettes of many other sneakers out there. Additionally, there are plenty of colourways for you to choose from, so you have the tools to customise your look as you see fit.
