The ASICS GT-2160 White Illusion Blue is a technical running sneaker that pays homage to various performance running shoes from the 2010s. Like its predecessor, the GT-2000, this sneaker boasts wavy sculpting on the forefoot that creates the illusion of motion. While the upper is crafted from lightweight mesh with a wide weave, the synthetic overlays form an almost grid-like design that supports the shoe. The colorway features White and Illusion Blue, which manifests as a White base with Illusion Blue piping and splashes of color. A segmented midsole underfoot also pays tribute to previous models, and gel technology inserts provide advanced cushioning. Both the heel collar and the tongue are padded for additional comfort. Our experts like how the outsole incorporated vivid Illusion Blue on the tread. The ASICS GT-2160 White Illusion Blue was released on July 15th, 2023, and retailed for a price of $120.

Guys be warned. I bought a pair of these and they shipped me the wrong color and size. So I ordered a second time, thinking it must have been a fluke. They sent me the wrong pair AGAIN. Went back to try a third time, and now they’re completely sold out. Super frustrating. I don’t know what’s happening with their warehouse, but definitely wouldn’t buy these shoes from urban if you can find them elsewhere.

ASICS are great shoes…yada yada..but..SIZING/FIT: Too tight! It also felt a bit comical — looked insanely massive (way bigger than the Nike/NB I own). STYLE: While I liked the design, I was disappointed in the color way. The “cream” just kept throwing me off — I wish the laces were white. Also photos look like the shoe is cream, and blue w/ black. Nope! It’s definitely a navy blue.

Loved these - absolutely my favorite running shoe of all time! Why these companies don't ever REBOOT their most popular designs is beyond me - easy money. Stop fixing that which isn't broken! Poor business model - redesigning each medel every year; might keep your designers busy, but you lose customers. The GT-2160 deserves a complete re-release...

These shoes are very comfortable while also being stylish. I wore these shoes all day while being at work on my feet for 10 hours and I can say I almost forgot I had feet because they usually hurt but with these shoes they didn't. The color way goes with anything and the shoes fit just right not too small nor too big. The shoes are also very affordable so your paying less for good comfort, quality, and style.
My fist choice was the kayano 14 but popularity breeds greed from opportunist. The GT-2160 looks the same and feels just as comfortable. I bought a half size up and really cang complain. A great shoe at a realistic, affordable, price.
I read a few reviews that shared similar experiences, but still decided to purchase because I thought it would be a nice present. They shipped the completely wrong shoe that was in the wrong size/color and even had a stain on the laces. Try to purchase in store or buy it waaay ahead of time in case you need to do an exchange for the correct shoe…
These shoes have been life changing! As a barista who works close to 40hrs a week at a busy shop, shoes are very important! I’m always used to wearing v a n s shoes but they would kill my feet at the end of the day or my back would start hurting mid shift. I knew I had to invest in comfy “ sporty walking” shoes. These caught my eyes and honestly I’m glad I made the choice to purchase them. Get support on days that I’m running around the shop like crazy! No more foot pain. I recommend.
I'm not a runner but have been wearing the Gel Nimbus for everyday use for many years. This season I decided to change to GT-2160 because of more apealing colours. And I love them! Very lightweight, good support, nice grip and I can go on them all day and they still feel comfortable. And they are modern and stylish. As usual with Asics I needed to half a size up from my usual size. Very happy with my choice.
