The ASICS Gel-1130 White Black is a performance running shoe with a design rooted in the technical running sneakers from the early 2000s. The "White Black" version of the ASICS Gel-1130 finds inspiration in the GEL-KAYANO 14 and the ninth iteration of the GEL-1000 series. Although the model was first introduced in 2008, this version features an all-white base with black and silver accents. The upper is made of lightweight mesh with a loose weave that gives the sneaker an airy feel. Synthetic leather overlays cross the mesh base and contribute to the shoe’s technical silhouette. In terms of technology, gel cushioning in the heel reduces impact without weighing the shoe down. ASICS’ signature TRUSSTIC support system also improves stability and is a throwback to the early 2000s. Our Kicks Machine experts like the dope-dyed sockliner. This dyeing technique reduces water usage by 33 percent.
