ASICS Gel-NYC Birch Blue

The ASICS Gel-1130 Birch Blue debuts in a birth blue and white colorway that takes inspirational design hits from a predecessor in the ASICS lineup, the Gel-Kayano 14. The upper of this icy cool shoe is made with mixed materials, namely mesh and synthetic materials mimicking leather. There is a lot of energy happening on this upper, as not much of the breathable mesh white material stays untouched before Birch Blue flows over or around it. The signature ASICS stripes are seen on both sides with silver metallic accents throughout. This low-profile running shoe boasts the beloved Gel tech cushioning from the ASICS brand. We think that the silver colored TRUSSTIC support system, which is a shank between the forefoot and rear foot, provides excellent support and is this sneaker’s unique design element. The ASICS Gel-1130 Birch Blue released to the public on May 16, 2024, with a retail price of $110.
