FAQs
-
The Asics GT-2160 combines early 2000s running shoe aesthetics with updated cushioning for a comfortable, nostalgic feel. It retains the signature wavy upper and segmented sole from the original GT-2000™ series but with improved GEL™ cushioning and flexibility.
-
It's both. Originally designed as a performance running shoe, the GT-2160 by Asics now fits perfectly into the lifestyle space thanks to its vintage appeal. While not a high-performance running model by today's standards, it's comfortable enough for light runs or daily wear.
-
Yes, the dual GEL™ cushioning and flexible midsole make it a great option for all-day use. Whether you're on your feet at work, exploring the city or travelling, this sneaker balances support and shock absorption with breathable comfort.
-
The ASICS GT-2160 runs true to size for most people. It has a slightly structured feel that hugs the foot without being restrictive. If you have a wider foot, you may prefer going up half a size, especially for extended wear.
-
The ASICS GT-2160 works well when the rest of the outfit balances its slim, technical shape. Try it with relaxed trousers, straight-leg denim or loose cargos to give the shoe enough room to stand out without making the look feel bulky. Neutral colourways can be paired with monochrome layers or simple basics, while brighter pairs work best when the rest of the outfit stays more understated. You can also lean into its early-2000s roots with track jackets, nylon pants or sporty accessories for a more deliberate Y2K-inspired look.
-
RaysLocker stocks a broad range of ASICS bestsellers. Explore the GEL-Quantum 90, GEL-Quantum 180 and GEL-Quantum 360 for bold sole designs and visible GEL details. If you’re searching for a more structured runner-inspired feel, check out GEL-Kayano, or GEL-Nimbus for a plusher ride. Go for the GEL-Kinsei for a more futuristic silhouette with sculpted tooling.
-
The ASICS 2160 is best suited to walking, light cardio and casual gym sessions rather than every type of workout. While it's comfortable for activities like treadmill walking, mobility work and low-impact training, it's not designed for heavy lifting, high-intensity interval training or longer runs. For more demanding training, the ASICS GEL-Kayano or GEL-Nimbus are better equipped with modern running technologies.
-
Yes. The GT-2160 ASICS offers dual GEL™ cushioning and a balanced underfoot feel that many people find comfortable for daily wear. Rather than feeling overly soft, it provides a more stable ride that keeps each step feeling easy and controlled.
