Asics Gel 1130 'Cream Kale'

Description:

The ASICS Gel-1130 Cream Kale represents the ninth iteration of the GEL-1000 series, updating a 2008 stability runner with modern refinements. While the silhouette retains its early-2000s running aesthetic, this Cream Kale edition introduces refreshed materials and subtle design upgrades.

Unlike the original model, this version features a fully mesh-based construction, including mesh paneling throughout and even mesh inserts. The breathable build keeps the shoe lightweight and comfortable, making it well-suited for everyday wear. Underfoot, GEL cushioning in the heel absorbs impact, while ASICS’ signature Trusstic support system enhances stability and helps prevent torsional twisting during movement.

Visually, silver overlays contrast with green accents for a layered, dynamic look. Dark green detailing appears along the padded collar and across sections of the outsole, adding depth to the neutral cream base. Released on September 23, 2023, with a retail price of $95, the Cream Kale colorway balances retro running heritage with practical, modern performance features.
