THE DETAILS
The ASICS Gel-1130 Dark Neptune is a stability running shoe that draws inspiration from other technical running sneakers from the ASICS catalog. It features a white base and accents in Dark Neptune and silver. The ninth iteration of the GEL-1000 series and the GEL-KAYANO 14 inform the sneaker’s design and contribute technical elements. For example, the Gel-1130 Dark Neptune features responsive GEL cushioning in the heel and protective padding around the collar and tongue. A web of overlays in Dark Neptune and silver crosses the airy mesh upper; however, each overlay is synthetic leather instead of genuine leather. The addition of synthetic leather overlays and paneling gives the shoe a modern aesthetic and differentiates it from earlier models. Our experts at Kicks Machine like the "GEL" lettering that wraps around the heel overlays. Origin: The Asics Gel-1130, a descendant of the GEL-1000 series, debuted in 2008. Its design borrows heavily from the GEL-KAYANO 14, a celebrated model in its own right. The Gel-1130's reintroduction in 2021 marked a strategic move to capitalize on the burgeoning retro runner trend. Construction: This model features a meticulous blend of materials, including breathable mesh underlays and durable synthetic leather overlays. It incorporates signature elements like the iconic ASICS stripes and GEL lettering on the heel. The incorporation of the TRUSSTIC system underscores its commitment to stability and performance, a hallmark of the series. Utility: Primarily designed for stability running, the Gel-1130 seamlessly transitioned into a lifestyle staple. Its versatility extends to everyday wear, casual outings, and even light gym sessions. The EVA midsole and GEL technology in the heel provide comfort and cushioning, making it suitable for various activities. Influence: The Gel-1130's influence resonates within the streetwear and fashion communities, aligning with the aesthetics of the 'dad core' and Y2K trends. Its minimalist design has found favor within Japanese and Korean fashion circles. The shoe's popularity is fueled by its blend of retro appeal and modern comfort, solidifying its place as a coveted item.
