The ASICS Gel-1130 French Blue Pure Silver features an upper crafted from synthetic leather paneling on top of mesh fabric in French Blue’s deep navy hue. Japanese athletic wear brand ASICS is known for the comfort and durability of their running shoes. Evolving over decades, the GEL-1130 sneaker offers a tribute to the ninth iteration of the GEL-1000 series. Updates include the synthetic leather paneling, which modernizes the shoe’s aesthetic. The heel’s GEL technology offers ASICS’ signature cushioning. A white curvilinear midsole pops against the Pure Silver and navy upper, balanced by a black and French Blue outsole, with GEL technology in the heel. ASICS branding accents the tongue. In our opinion, the best feature of the Gel-1130 is its Pure Silver overlays, which give the shoe versatility for street or sports wear. The ASICS Gel-1130 French Blue Pure Silver released on March 10, 2022, and retailed for $85.
