Layered mesh upper. Synthetic leather overlays. Gel technology cushioning provides superior shock absorption. Rubber toe bumper and outsole. Extended tongue pull loop. Traditional lacing system. Paying homage to the ninth iteration of the Gel-1000 series, the UB4-S Gel-1130 has been updated with mixed materials and new aesthetic influences, courtesy of consultants from the Kiko Kostadinov Studio. A layered mesh upper covers the traditional Asics stripes in order to convey elements of speed, weightlessness, and precision. The eyestay draws from the Gel-Foundation 8 silhouette, while the brand’s patented Gel technology cushioning is implemented to provide superior shock absorption day in and day out.
