ASICS Celebrates 35 Years with the New GT-II™ Sneaker
ASICS introduces the new iteration of the GT-II™ sneaker to celebrate the model's 35th anniversary. The lifestyle shoe has a cool tonal palette for the season and features the GEL technology for soft cushioning at the base foundation. It celebrates the brand's notable contemporary aesthetic and retains the rich heritage that it is rooted in.
The GT-II™ is the first pair of shoes that reached an international launch, breaching the borders of Japan. It originally launched back in 1986 and has been a signature silhouette on the streets since. The new design retains the same shape as the original and has an external heel clip with a softly padded heel collar to wrap around the ankles.
