The Gel-1130 is a tribute to the ninth edition of the Gel-1000 series, whose design has evolved over the decades. The stability running shoe from 2008 was originally inspired by the Gel-Kayano 14 and features a similar aesthetic to this legendary running shoe. The traditional materials have been reimagined with synthetic leather inserts to give the shoe a modern look. Additionally, the comfortable retro running shoe has been revamped for an urban appearance and includes Gel technology in the heel for enhanced cushioning.
