Asics Gel-1090 Shoes in Black. Debuting back in 2003 and pro-actively reimagined through a modernised urbanised lens, the Asics Gel-1090 is designed with performance and original running aesthetics in mind. Inspired by the contoured lines of a motorcycle and re-engineered to emphasise the notion of speed, these mixed-material mesh quartered sneakers pair retro-running undertones with EVA cushionings and revolutionary GEL™ technology inserts for added structural support and impact resiliency. Sweeping lines deboss the all-black rubber midsole with subtle reference to the motion of a waving checkered flag, whilst the enduring outsole, the contoured underfoot tread and the protective ‘Asics’ branded heel brace ensure a supportive wear regardless of desired setting. Intricate perforations across the rubber-shelled toe bumper provide added ventilation and circulatory comfort from first wear, whilst the concealed rope-loop lacing system secures the padded ‘GEL-1090’ branded tongue across the natural arch of the foot. Iconic silver-style ‘tiger-claw’ marks on the toe overlays and heel counter pay homage to heritage, whilst the ‘GEL’ branded ankle collar seals these heritage-mindful GT-1000™ series GEL-1090 sneakers off with a sense of celebrated authenticity.
Inspired by the Japanese sportswear brand’s commitment to innovative function and its admirable ‘sound mind, sound body’ ethos, the Asics Gel-1090 sneakers are designed with performative function at the forefront of their visionary construction. Adhering to resurging early ‘00s trends and loyal to its circa 2003 initial construction, these ultra lightweight and tech-led shoes pair fashion with function to ensure an exemplary wear regardless of setting.
