The Asics Gel-1130 Holiday Pack 'Black Pure Silver' delivers futuristic Y2K energy through iridescent metallic accents catching light at every angle, proving the retro runner's ongoing renaissance shows no signs of slowing down.

Design & Inspiration

Part of ASICS SportStyle's Holiday Pack for 2025, the GEL-1130 "Pure Silver" channels a futuristic aesthetic carried by subtle grey tones elevated with metallic reflections that catch and play with light. The silhouette draws inspiration from the legendary GEL-KAYANO 14, incorporating cutting-edge materials and technologies into a design that bridges contemporary and vintage elements. The upper combines breathable open-cell mesh with synthetic overlays featuring an iridescent Pure Silver finish that shifts and shimmers depending on the viewing angle and lighting. These eye-catching accents land strategically on the signature tiger stripes, toe wrap, and heel overlay—creating a dynamic surface that transforms the shoe's appearance as you move. Black mesh panels frame the construction while grey textile lines the collar, allowing the metallic overlays to take center stage without overwhelming the composition. A padded collar, rubberized toecap, and rope laces complete the premium details. The ASICS logo patch appears on the tongue with Formstripes running along the lateral sides and GEL branding marking the heel. This execution offers both comfort and a nostalgic aesthetic that captures the robust silhouette and retro vibe that's made the GEL-1130 a cornerstone of ASICS SportStyle's current success.

Comfort & Performance

The GEL-1130 features ASICS' renowned GEL technology cushioning system with shock-absorbing gel inserts in the heel, providing lightweight cushioning and durable comfort for extended wear. The TRUSSTIC support system in the midfoot enhances stability, while the solid black EVA midsole delivers responsive feel. The chunky rubber outsole ensures reliable traction and durability, making this equally capable as a performance-driven running shoe or lifestyle sneaker.
