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 emphasize the notion of speed. Reissued with a simplified upper construction, this retro running shoe preserves its influential features, like the tiger claw marks on the toe overlays and heel counter. Similar to the motion of a waving checkered flag, sweeping lines appear along the midsole, while the heel is layered with 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.

I bought these because I really like the Asics brand. I didn't give the a 5 because when I wore them the first time (only time so far), they felt a little snug on the right outer toe area, which isn't normal for my other shoes that are Asics. I'm hoping when I wear these again that won't be the case. I do like that they are supportive but again, not as comfortable as the other Asics I own. I like the design on these as well and love the Asics shoelaces, they don't come undone so I don't have to double tie them.

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.

I bought these shoes heavily discounted and are glad I did. They have great arches and are comfortable, like every pair of Asics I've bought. I won't say they are my best but definitely nothing wrong with them. They are also very light. I'm extremely impressed with the laces as sometimes Asics get that part wrong abit. Well ventilated and true to size. Fits well to the foot, as well as any good Asics shoe does. Amazing price for these shoes, I've got heaps of Asics shoes now and are glad I added them to the collection. Thanks again

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.
Had to send these back because of a front design that didn't sit well with my feet – a bit painful when folded. On the bright side, the shoes look awesome, and the customer service was great.I'm a fan of Asics because they offer half sizes like 41.5, providing an ideal fit for my feet during sports. Already have a few other models, and I've just placed an order to try out some new ones.
Searched a long time for shoes I could wear for a city break with lots of walking. Tried lots of top brands but nothing compared to the comfort and support of these ASICS. Normally my feet are in bits after a day but not with these trainers. 100% recommend and will be buying another pair when needed!
This pastel Asics are my best buy in a long time the comfort is amazing. Being pregnant i wanted comfort but to still look in fashion and they do just that. The comfort is 10/10 they have a curve made inside the padding of the insole of the trainee which feels amazing to walk in. Some trainees feel hard and clunky but these feel like slippers inside. As a young woman they feel so trendy too.
I needed a dedicated walking/running shoe for the gym, my stylish but unsupportive fashion sneakers weren’t cutting it after an hour on the treadmill. So glad I got these! I overpronate and these have such good heel stability and the wide toe box doesn’t squeeze around the ball of my foot. They also look so cute with a dress or baggy pants.
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!
