Paying homage to the ninth iteration of the Gel-1000 series, the UB4-S Gel-1130 has been updated with mixed materials and new aesthetic influences, courtesy of consultants from the Kiko Kostadinov Studio. A layered mesh upper covers the traditional Asics stripes in order to convey elements of speed, weightlessness, and precision. The eyestay draws from the Gel-Foundation 8 silhouette, while the brand’s patented Gel technology cushioning is implemented to provide superior shock absorption day in and day out.
