Continuous advancement is core to the ASICS design philosophy. Progress comes to life in the ASICS GT-2000™ 13 lightweight running shoe, further improving upon the strengths of the ASICS GT-2000™ 12 running shoe.

Plus,the lightweight and breathable engineered mesh upper has been revamped for an improved, more comfortable midfoot fit.
