The GEL-DS TRAINER 14 sneaker harmonizes key design elements from the late 2000s with comfort and versatility for everyday scenarios. Distinguishing features on the upper include the shoe's iconic quarter-panel design and open mesh paneling, giving the shoe a dynamic aesthetic reminiscent of running models from this era. The tooling shape features a sleeker construction that's met with comfortable cushioning properties, paired with a lightweight design and a TRUSSTIC support unit for stability. Rearfoot GEL technology also provides impact absorption. Additional features include an asymmetric upper construction, breathable mesh underlays, and a sockliner produced with the solution dyeing process, which reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to traditional methods. The shoe is made with at least 30% of the upper's synthetic fiber being made with recycled materials.
