ASICS GT-2000™ - lighter, more responsive & stable

Lighter, more responsive and stable

ASICS has just dropped the 14th edition of the GT-2000™ shoe. The latest evolution of its long-standing versatile daily trainer involves a new lightweight and responsive cushioning midsole material to deliver a more dynamic and comfortable running experience, plus an updated forefoot construction.

Building on its legacy of delivering reliable lightweight stability, the GT-2000™ 14 shoe takes a bold step forward in comfort and performance with the addition of FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning - one of ASICS’ most responsive midsole foams, as featured in high-bounce models like the NOVABLAST. Combined with PureGEL™ technology in the heel for enhanced shock absorption and smoother transitions, this advanced midsole setup helps provide softer landings, enhanced comfort, and a more energetic toe-off.

The forefoot now features a new trampoline pod structure inspired by ASICS’ BLAST series, thoughtfully designed to support stability, while creating a spring-loaded sensation underfoot. Working in tandem with FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning, this forefoot pod structure is designed to amplify bounce and responsiveness for a more energetic run.

While comfort and energy-return take center stage, the GT-2000™ 14 shoe continues to offer the trusted stability that defines the series. The 3D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ provides adaptive stability (when you need it) via the advanced geometry of a three-dimensional midsole shape that helps prevent excessive inward rolling during runs. As we have seen in Asics other stability shoes, this innovation delivers a more comfortable running experience, even across longer distances when form tends to deteriorate.

Additional support elements include strategically placed outsole rubber for medial-side reinforcement, a new asymmetrical tongue wing construction to improve lockdown and support, and a soft touch feel engineered woven upper for comfort and a secure, supportive fit.

The result is a stability shoe that feels both protective and fun to run in. ASICS believe the GT-2000™ 14 shoe "will inspire a wider range of runners to enjoy their movement and uplift both body and mind through a comfortable and energetic running experience."

We are running in a pair so look out for our review in due course.
