The GEL-1090 running shoe from 2003 has been re-engineered with a modern lens while retaining its signature design details. Inspired by the lines of a motorcycle, this shoe is meant to emphasise the notion of speed. Reissued with a simplified upper construction, this retro running shoe preserves its influential features, such as the tiger claw marks on the toe overlays and heel counter. Like the motion of a waving checkered flag, sweeping lines appear along the midsole, while the heel implements GEL cushioning to increase comfort. Reimagining the heritage of the GT-1000 series, the GEL-1090 sneaker returns with its original performance running aesthetic while revamping its functionality with improved comfort and cushioning.

Freja Wewer × Asics Gel-1090 V2 "Grey"

The most comfortable trainers I have ever purchased! Do a great deal of walking, up to 4 hours a day, and these were so comfy! Got them for less than half price and also enjoyed free delivery. Would most definitely recommend

I have worn them every day since they were delivered! They are not only very comfortable but look gorgeous with the suede and green and cream detail. Several people have stopped me to ask what brand/style they are. What better recommendation is necessary??

I mulled over these shoes for MONTHS- I read reviews across multiple websites, checked every description I could find for them, and compared them to multiple other shoes. I wanted something fashionable but with some cushion and support and thought these would fit the bill after extensive research. However, one wear and I realized they provide zero support- I really regret this purchase but obviously I’m stuck with them now. Putting my running soles in make them wearable for a few hours, but had I known that they have close to zero cushion or support, I would’ve chosen otherwise.

The Asics GEL-1090â„¢ v2 shoes are a great choice for those looking for a comfortable and supportive sneaker. The updated version features a sleek design with a breathable mesh upper and a cushioned midsole that provides excellent shock absorption. Additionally, the GEL technology in the sole enhances stability and provides a smooth ride during physical activities.
This is my first pair of Asics and I like them. The light weight and the hard sole are great. However, I don't feel them much comfortable on the top of my feet. At the beginning I thought it was the wrong size, but it think it's related to the seams from the front. But still, comfortable enough.
I’ve only worn ASICS for the last ten years and normally have at least two pairs on the go. I needed a new pair for walking and daily life and chose this pair because of the Gel and also the beautiful colour way. Arrived speedily. A little firmer and more rigid than I’m used to but still very comfortable.
After much research I tried these Asics trainers in the store. I was looking for a light, comfortable walking shoe that had a comfortable insole, and the gel cushioning certainly delivered on that score. They are well designed stylish and light to wear. I wore them on a long hike and was delighted with them.
Super comfortable and great value for money! This is my second pair and it definitely won't be my last. I love that they look great while also supporting my feet well. Please keep adding more styles!
Stylish seasonal colours and a bargain price too. Absolute comfort for overpronation and great support while looking good too. The first day I wore them I just couldn’t believe how comfortable they were. I love them 💚
this is my second time buying the 1090v2. I already had another one in white and mint green. but i thought they're so comfrotable i'd get another color. for those with flat feet, these shoes give a lot of arch support even without inserting a special insole. it's also very comfortable to walk in. I would love to see a version with leather instead of suede because the suede part is a bit hard to clean. but besides that, love the shoe!
