GT-2160.
The ASICS GT-2160 is a retro runner from the early 2010s that ASICS has brought back as a lifestyle sneaker. With its technical look, wavy forefoot lines and segmented midsole, the model fits right in with the popular retro running style, alongside models like the Gel-Kayano 14, the Gel-1130 and the Gel-NYC.
The background of the ASICS GT-2160
The GT-2160 originally appeared as a running shoe within the ASICS GT-2000 series. The reissue keeps the design language of that time intact and shows how running shoes were evolving technically in that period. What was once made for training miles is now mostly worn on the street.
The design of the ASICS GT-2160
The upper combines breathable mesh with synthetic overlays, which gives the sneaker its layered, technical look. The segmented midsole and the wavy sculpting on the forefoot are its most recognisable details. Two GEL inserts in the heel provide cushioning and comfort with every step.
How does the ASICS GT-2160 fit?
Most wearers keep their usual size in the ASICS GT-2160, but it runs on the small side. Choose half a size up if in doubt.
Colorways and collaborations
The GT-2160 comes in calm tones like white, cream and grey with silver accents, as well as in bolder colours. There have also been collaborations with Cecilie Bahnsen, Kiko Kostadinov, Dime and Above The Clouds, among others, each giving the model its own twist.
