Reinventing a performance silhouette for today’s lifestyle is a skill ASICS has mastered. In 2023, the brand successfully revived the GT-2160, a model first launched in 2011. Originally designed as an affordable stability runner, the GT-2160 offered exceptional value and performance at a price point lower than premium models like the GEL-KAYANO and GEL-NIMBUS, quickly gaining popularity among enthusiasts.

The updated model features high-gloss mesh overlays that enhance both durability and visual appeal. Asymmetrical pull tabs on the tongue add both functionality and style, while the color palette combines sophisticated neutral tones with vibrant accents, resulting in a visually striking and versatile sneaker.
