The GT-1000 12 is a lightweight, versatile running shoe functional for the beginner to intermediate runner or those who enjoy being active, and looking for a supportive, stable ride. The upper gives a modern, energized silhouette featuring a premium mesh upper and a modified heel shape. The tongue wing construction helps provide a more supportive fit.​ LITETRUSS technology in the midsole provides guided medial support and a smoother transition, while the combination of FLYTEFOAM and rearfoot GEL technology gives a softer cushioning underfoot and improved shock absorption.
