The Gel-1090 running shoe from 2003 has been re-engineered with a modern lens while retaining its signature design details. Inspired by the lines of a motorcycle this shoe is meant to emphasize the notion of speed. Reissued with a simplified upper construction this retro running shoe preserves its influential features like the tiger claw marks on the toe overlays and heel counter. Similar to the motion of a waving checkered flag sweeping lines appear along the midsole while the heel is layered with Gel cushioning to increase comfort. Reimagining the heritage of the Gt-1000 series the Gel-1090 sneaker returns with its original performance running aesthetic while revamping its functionality with improved comfort and cushioning.
