As the first low-top shoe to boast of the signature GEL cushioning technology, the ASICS GT-II has been released every year with exciting materials, colorways, and collaborations for more than three decades.
The signature GEL technology in the midsole was introduced in the mid-1980s. Testers say it has not faltered in giving superior cushioning and impact protection to the lasting running shoe silhouette.
Injected into the EVA midsole of most running shoes, its silicone-based GEL technology has proven to be effective in diverting the vertical forces of impact during running and in reducing impact-related injuries and reducing vibration.
