Recycled mesh and leather upper with textile lining. Sole unit with GEL cushioning. First released in 2004, the GEL-1090 has solidified itself as a favorite shoe amongst runners, and the v2 brings that legacy into a casual everyday sneaker. The sole unit is crafted with the same GEL cushioning technology as its older sibling while its mesh panels retain a distinctly early-2000s runner aesthetic. Meanwhile, a more minimal design, suede detailing, and a selection of muted colorways combine to make the shoe more lifestyle-focused.
