The ASICS Gel-1130 Dark Neptune is a stability running shoe that draws inspiration from other technical running sneakers from the ASICS catalog. It features a white base with accents in Dark Neptune and silver. The ninth iteration of the GEL-1000 series and the GEL-KAYANO 14 inform the sneaker’s design and contribute technical elements. For example, the Gel-1130 Dark Neptune features responsive GEL cushioning in the heel and protective padding around the collar and tongue. A web of overlays in Dark Neptune and silver crosses the airy mesh upper; synthetic leather is used instead of genuine leather for these overlays, giving the shoe a modern aesthetic and differentiating it from earlier models. Our experts appreciate the "GEL" lettering that wraps around the heel overlays. The ASICS Gel-1130 Dark Neptune was released on May 1, 2024, and retailed at $100.
