ASICS ANNOUNCES THE GT-2000™ 12, DELIVERING LIGHTWEIGHT STABILITY FOR ANY LENGTH OF RUN
The versatile stability trainer is functional for long runs, short runs, and everything in between.
ASICS has announced the launch of the GT-2000™ 12 shoe, a versatile trainer that offers the advanced stability you’d expect from the GT-2000™ series but now with added comfort to help you achieve a sound mind in a sound body, however far you choose to run.
The GT-2000™ 12 shoe reimagines stability to deliver a new level of outstanding comfort across a range of distances. This is achieved through its 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™, consisting of wider basenets and an increased heel bevel and flared midsole, to create a silky-smooth transition from footstrike to toe off.
The shoe’s comfort has been further improved through the addition of FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning across the full length of the shoe, creating a soft underfoot feel while producing a more energized response at toe off.
Additionally, the shoe’s heel incorporates ASICS’ PureGEL™ technology, which is both softer and lighter than the traditional GEL™ technology, and provides comfortable support underfoot as you push to achieve your best.
The GT-2000™ 12 shoe offers a more forgiving landing and a smoother ride thanks to an increase of 1mm in stack height compared to its predecessor.
Meanwhile, to reduce the potential for irritation over the course of a long run, the heel has been redesigned with a lean back achilles construction created to reduce irritation against the back of the foot.
Chad Mullavey, Manager of Global Product Line Footwear at ASICS said: “We call the GT-2000™ 12 a ‘workhorse’ of a shoe for very good reason, because whatever distance you choose to run, this shoe delivers the versatility and stability with its 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ to last the course. We’re proud to have reimagined the typical stability shoe experience so that the GT-2000™ 12 really works with the motion of your stride, keeping your feet comfortable whether you are running shorter or longer distances. The GT-2000™ 12 shoe is where stability meets comfort, and we know this shoe will help so many to achieve a sound mind in a sound body.”
The GT-2000™ 12 shoe will be available for men and women from ASICS retail, online stores and specialists running outlets globally from September 1st, 2023, for $140.
