If you prefer something that provides a worn-in feel right from the start, trade the Gel-Preleus for the tenis asics gt 800 azul preto rosa. You might also be better off sporting sock-like sneakers if you've had enough of tongues that just won't stay put.
The ASICS Gel-Preleus' new identity
Back in the early 2000s, the original Gel-Preleus was seen as a kick built primarily for running. Now, it wears a different silhouette, and along with it, has been embraced for a different purpose—making its wearers look and feel good as they crank up their pace outside. This renewed perception arrives with a few changes to the sneaker, the most notable of which are the following:
- The Gel-Preleus comes with more overlays which increase its fighting chance against abrasive hazards and provide more protection on the shoe's upper.
- The Gel-Preleus has a less-pronounced A-like detailing with wavy accents that make the shoe look more organic. In other words, the design of this sneaker is among the very few that don't scream ASICS.
- The shoe's outsole has been updated and it has been perceived to have a more aggressive treading pattern.
