ASICS Gel-Mai

Released for the first times in 1990’s the Gel-Mai is coming back the last two years. The least we can say it’s that this model is very trendy. The bold stylistic statements crossed with cutting-edge tech. ASICS developed the sneaker with the underlying conceptual approach that an upper is not necessary when the entire sole-unit is at the top of its game. The asymmetrical eyelet stay, that extra volume of the sole, and the unique design are among the shoe’s better features.

The progressive design features asymmetrical eyelet stays, eyelet-adorned sides, and a single pouch-like form that cradled the instep through the ankle. The molded GEL insole almost gave a technological nod to the ravers at the time, with its support and ride said to give a ‘dancing’ affect when you stepped. It’s still considered one of the comfiest and supportive of sneakers ever made, as well as a bold aesthetic statement. The new model has an updated last and pattern for a cleaner, contemporary silhouette while the midsole has been revamped with new fuzeGEL technology, ASICS’ new sponge tech that appeared in last year’s FuzeX silhouette.
