Collection: Asics

Asics

Asics spent decades building running shoes and then found itself at the centre of sneaker culture almost by accident. The technical models people used to buy for marathons — Gel-1130, GT-2160, Gel-Kayano — are now the ones selling out on release day.

Gel-1130

The deepest run here and the shoe that started the shift. Mesh and synthetic-leather overlays on a low, wide platform with visible Gel in the heel. Black Pure Silver, White Cloud Grey, White Clay Canyon, Cream Blueberry, Black Carbon, Vanilla White Sage, Clay Grey Pure Silver, Honey Beige, Cement Grey Rust Orange, Cream White Red, Glacier Grey Black, Mantle Green and the Black Holiday Pack.

GT-2160

The other pillar of the collection — a slightly more structured build than the 1130, with more overlay and a firmer ride. Black Pure Silver, Pure Silver, Black Pure Silver Red, Piedmont Grey Deep Marine, Cream Sheet Rock, Paris, Indigo Fog, Oyster Grey Carbon, White Racer Blue and Sweet Pink.

Gel-Kayano and Gel-Nimbus

The heavier, more technical silhouettes. The Gel-Kayano 14 in White Malachite Green, plus the Kith Marvel vs Capcom run — Kayano 14 in Wolverine and Ryu, Kayano 12.1 in Guile and Captain America, and Gel-Nimbus 10.1 in Iron Man and Mega Man.

Sizing

Asics generally runs true to size, and the toe box is wider than most lifestyle sneakers, which is part of why they are so comfortable straight out of the box. If you are coming from Nike, expect a slightly roomier fit at the same number. Each product page carries the specific note.
