ASICS Gel-1130Black Pure Silver (PS)

Product Description

The ASICS Gel-1130 Black Pure Silver PS in Black Pure Silver is the preschool sizing of the Gel-1130 retro running sneaker, paying homage to the ninth iteration of the GEL-1000 series with a design rooted in the late 2000s stability running shoe ASICS originally offered in 2008, adapted for children's sizing with a synthetic leather and breathable mesh upper construction that captures the technical aesthetic of the original while delivering the GEL technology cushioning, TRUSSTIC support system, and rubber outsole that keep the shoe comfortable and supportive for a young child's everyday active wear needs. The Black Pure Silver colorway applies the most classically versatile color combination for a kids' sneaker across the PS version, pairing the dark black base leather and synthetic panels with Pure Silver accents across the overlays and branding elements in a high-contrast execution that gives the small-sized shoe a sharp, adult-style aesthetic in children's sizing. The Gel-1130's design draws on the GEL-KAYANO 14 trainer's aesthetics as inspiration, with synthetic leather overlays and breathable mesh underlays reproducing the heritage upper design language of the 2008 original while incorporating modern sustainability improvements including an upper main material composed of more than 20% recycled materials and a dope-dyed sockliner that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to conventional dyeing processes.

The GEL technology positioned in the heel provides the shock absorption that defines the Gel-1130's comfort system, softening each step and reducing impact forces during the kind of playground running, jumping, and activity that characterizes a preschool child's daily movement. The TRUSSTIC support system preserves the midfoot stability architecture from the original late 2000s shoe, maintaining the pronation control and structural support that made the GEL-1000 series a trusted stability running platform across generations of ASICS runners. At $70 retail the Black Pure Silver PS sits at the standard preschool tier for ASICS Gel-1130 kids' sizing, released June 1, 2025 through ASICS and select retailers as part of the broader Gel-1130 multi-format family launch that includes grade school, women's, and men's versions of the same shoe across coordinating colorways.

The ASICS Gel-1130 Black Pure Silver PS was released on June 1, 2025 with a retail price of $70.
