Asics GT-2120 Preview
Hot Preview
GT-2000 fans rejoice!
Waiting for the release of the Asics GT-2120 is much akin to waiting in line for the release of the next “GT” (Gran Turismo) game for the Playstation.
Just as Nike has the Air Pegasus, Asics has the popular GT-2000 series, and to some, the GT-2000 series gives the best ever running shoes currently on the market and is a clear favourite for those with wide feet.
Being the winner of the Runner’s World “Editor’s Choice Award” in November 2005, the Asics GT-2110 will be hard to top, but judging from initial and unofficial reviews, the GT-2120 looks set to takeover the crown from this year’s 2006 “Editor’s Choice Award” winner, the Nike Air Pegasus 2006.
The most notable feature of the GT-2120 is a new super lightweight midsole material known as Solyte™ that is neither EVA nor PU which will make the GT-2120 weigh an ounce less than (20% lighter) the GT-2110.
Still maintained are the Space Trusstic System®, famous for its efficient foot function capabilities, the Dual-density DuoMax and IGS (Impact Guidance System) for great foot support and the legendary GEL® Cushioning Systems.
I’ve got my eyes glued on the gorgeous Black/Black/Gold version of the GT-2120.
