Description
An elegant remastering of a classic, the ASICS GEL-1130 “Larimar Blue / Pure Silver” (2025) bridges retro running heritage with modern eco-conscious innovation. Drawing from its origin as part of the GEL-1000 series, this sneaker reinterprets stability, style, and sustainability in clean, striking tones. Larimar Blue brings a soft aquatic hue, while Pure Silver accents deliver metallic contrast that highlights the design’s technical overlays. Whether for daily wear or fashion-forward layering, the GEL-1130 blends performance roots with street-ready aesthetics.
Overview
This 2025 edition of the GEL-1130 retains its classic stability running DNA, first introduced in the late 2000s under the GEL-1000 lineage. The shoe features a mesh upper system enhanced with synthetic leather overlays and breathable underlays for ventilation. Its midsole employs ASICS’ signature GEL® heel cushioning for impact absorption, paired with a TRUSSTIC® support frame to help guide and stabilize motion. Sustainable touches include a solution-dyed sockliner (reducing water usage by about 33% and carbon emissions by about 45% vs conventional dyeing) and recycled materials in the synthetic leather (at least 20% of that portion). A durable rubber outsole ensures grip, while the overall silhouette captures the retro runner aesthetic that has made the GEL-1130 a favorite.
Key Highlights

• Signature GEL® cushioning in the heel offers excellent shock absorption for both walking and light running.
