The ASICS Gel-1130 ‘White Blue’ GS (2025) returns with a refreshing interpretation of the beloved retro runner, blending ASICS’ iconic heritage design with modern comfort and eco-friendly updates. Paying homage to the GEL-1000™ lineage, this grade-school silhouette delivers dependable stability and everyday style in a classic white and blue motif. Overview Honoring its roots in the GEL-1000™ series, the GEL-1130™ GRADE SCHOOL reimagines early-2000s running aesthetics with synthetic leather overlays and breathable mesh underlays for a lightweight yet sturdy construction. With GEL® technology cushioning in the heel, the shoe offers exceptional shock absorption and enduring comfort for all-day wear. It also incorporates a TRUSSTIC® support system to enhance midfoot stability and structural integrity, while at least 20% of the synthetic leather upper is crafted from recycled materials—underscoring ASICS’ commitment to sustainability. A dope-dyed sockliner further reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by around 45%, compared to conventional dyeing methods.
