This sneaker, part of the GEL-1130 series, pays tribute to the ninth version of the GEL-1000 series, which dates back decades. Originally inspired by the GEL-KAYANO® 14 sneaker, a popular training shoe, the design has evolved with the use of synthetic leather panels for a more modern look. The shoe's traditional materials have been upgraded for streetwear, with added GEL® technology in the heel for long-lasting cushioning. Other features include a lace-up style, removable Ortholite cushioned insole for tailored orthotics, Guidance Line® technology for improved gait, and AmpliFoam™ midsole for comfort on both the road and city streets. The GEL® cushioning in the sole absorbs impact for a smooth heel-to-toe transition. Made of a textile and synthetic upper with a rubber sole, this imported item (style #6593826) is available in video Athletic Shoe Fit Guide.
