- Design Inspiration: Based on the 2008 running shoe from the iconic GEL-1000 series, with design cues from the GEL-KAYANO 14.
- GEL Cushioning: A built-in silicone unit in the heel effectively absorbs impact.
- TRUSSTIC Stability System: A reinforced thermoplastic bridge under the arch limits unwanted foot twisting.
- Dual-Material Upper: Combines breathable mesh with structured synthetic leather overlays.
- Sustainable Materials: The main upper fabric contains more than 20% recycled polyester.
- Eco-Friendly Dyeing Process: The sockliner is made using a solution-dyeing process that reduces water consumption by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by 45% compared with conventional dyeing methods.
- Rubber Outsole: Durable outsole with geometric grooves for grip and natural flexibility.
The unisex ASICS Gel-1130 sneakers are a modern reinterpretation of the traditional 2008 stability shoe from the ninth generation of the Gel-1000 series. Inspired by the design of the iconic Gel-Kayano 14, they combine a retro running aesthetic with cushioning and support technologies for everyday wear. The upper features breathable mesh with strategically placed durable synthetic leather overlays, providing stability and lasting ventilation. GEL technology in the heel of the midsole absorbs impact, while the thermoplastic TRUSSTIC bridge at the midfoot helps prevent twisting while walking. A durable rubber outsole provides reliable grip on a variety of surfaces.
Basic Features
GEL Cushioning Technology & Midsole
The ASICS GEL-1130’s cushioning system features signature GEL technology in the heel. This unit absorbs and evenly disperses vertical impact forces, reducing stress on the joints with each step. The foam midsole works with the silicone insert to provide responsive cushioning, a smooth heel-to-toe transition, and stable support during extended wear.
Structural Stability & TRUSSTIC Support System
The TRUSSTIC system is integrated into the midfoot section of the outsole and midsole. This rigid, molded component sits beneath the arch and stabilizes the shoe by connecting the forefoot to the heel. It prevents excessive twisting during movement, guides the foot into neutral anatomical alignment, and enhances support through every phase of your stride.
Upper Materials & Environmental Sustainability
The upper is made from open-knit technical mesh, allowing air to circulate freely and helping maintain a comfortable microclimate inside the shoe. Synthetic leather overlays provide lateral support and abrasion resistance, reinforcing areas subject to high mechanical stress. In addition, more than 20% of the upper’s main material comes from recycled sources. The sockliner is produced using the solution dye method, reducing water use by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared with conventional processing methods.
Outsole & Traction
The shoe features a solid rubber outsole with high abrasion resistance. The tread pattern includes strategically placed lengthwise and crosswise grooves that allow the foot to flex naturally at the forefoot and provide reliable grip on hard urban surfaces such as asphalt, concrete, and paving stones.
