What’s New?
The Asics GT-2130 has been a long-time favorite of runners looking for structured cushioning without too much bulk. This fall’s update to 2000 series heritage is no exception and brings even more of Asics innovations to the shoe.
The GT 2000T series is renowned for consistent updates, so the GT 2130T will stay the course with subtle changes that will please fans of the shoe. First and most important is an improvement to SolyteR that gives the midsole material a softer ride and better 'bounce-back'. The result is an enhanced feeling of cushioning that will maintain its plush feel for more miles than the previous version. The midfoot of the GT 2120T was lauded for its excellent support features; therefore, this portion has only a subtle geometry improvement to the Space TrussticR unit that adds more stability to the medial side. Gender Specific Fit returns as well, providing excellent midfoot support that accommodates changes in the shape of the woman's arch. The base nets in the heel and forefoot are virtually the same to maintain good platform balance, while the forefoot outsole features a new 3-piece blown AHARR outsole for great ride and flexibility.
The improvements to comfort and fit are certainly not limited to the tooling, as the upper has improved as well. For instance, the heel collar is a bit shorter and will serve to secure the shoe around the heel more comfortably, while prevent slippage. In addition, the forefoot vamp has been lengthened to add some height to the toe box. The Japanese freedom flex under-lays in the forefoot return to ensure a soft, irritation-free upper fit. The open sandwich mesh allows excellent breathability. Adding to the overall improvement to comfort and fit are PHFR in heel and SolyteR 55 lasting for long lasting 'try-on' feel.

1. Updated SolyteR midsole provides lightweight, plush ride and resists compression
2. New, softer blown AHARR sponge in forefoot provides a plush road feel
