Just like the very popular GEL LYTE III, the ASICS GT-II features a very comfortable GEL LYTE Outsole. The GT-II was the first ASICS SportStyle model to feature the GEL technology when it debuted in 1986 and has since been one of the most popular models within ASICS SportStyles' retro Running portfolio. The Upper of this retro Runner is made of a lightweight material mix.
