Recycled mesh and synthetic leather upper with textile lining. Sole unit with GEL cushioning. First released in 2004, the GEL-1090’s motorcycle-inspired design was focused purely on speed, giving runners an extra spring in their step. This is achieved primarily in the sole unit, where the label’s exclusive GEL technology offers impact protection and a smooth roll-off when in motion. Arriving in a classic colorway, the shoe has been given an update and features the model number stamped at the front of the midsole.
