A design inspired by ASICS heritage
The GT-2160 ASICS draws inspiration from the iconic GT-2000™ series, known for its reliability and streamlined design. True to its roots, this version features the same sleek, wavy lines and segmented midsole that defined the early 2000s ASICS running shoes.
All-day comfort with dual GEL™ technology
Beyond its aesthetics, the ASICS GT-2160 packs in serious comfort features. Dual GEL™ cushioning inserts in the midsole deliver advanced underfoot support with each step, helping absorb impact whether you're walking city streets or standing all day.
Street-ready and versatile
Although rooted in performance design, the GT-2160 has become a go-to for fashion-forward sneaker lovers. Its vintage running shoe look fits seamlessly into streetwear and casual wardrobes. With colourways to suit every mood, it's a modern wardrobe staple with retro credibility.
