Spanning across decades of design evolution, the GEL-1130 sneaker pays homage to the ninth iteration of the GEL-1000 series. The stability running shoe from 2008 was originally inspired by the GEL-KAYANO 14 sneaker, featuring similar aesthetics as the hero trainer. Its traditional materials have been repurposed with synthetic leather panelling to evolve the shoe with a more modern aesthetic. Additionally, this retro runner's comfort is remixed for the streets, featuring GEL technology in the heel for all-day cushioning.
