The ASICS GEL-1130 Trainers are designed for adult male runners and active individuals seeking a blend of retro aesthetics with modern running performance and comfort. These trainers excel in providing stability and cushioning for various activities, from daily jogs to gym sessions, while also making a subtle environmental statement with their sustainable manufacturing process. However, the distinct late-2000s retro styling, while a key feature, may not appeal to all preferences.

Terrain: Best suited for paved surfaces, tracks, and indoor environments due to their running-specific outsole design.
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your GEL-1130 Trainers:
Cleaning:
General Dirt: Gently brush off any dry dirt with a soft brush (a dedicated shoe brush or an old toothbrush works well).
Suede/Leather Overlays: For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner. For leather, wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry.
Mesh Areas: Use a soft cloth or brush with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Outsoles: Scrub with a stiff brush to remove mud and debris.
Drying: Always air dry your trainers at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can damage materials. Do not put them in a dryer.
Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees or stuffing them with newspaper can help maintain their shape.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the materials and colors.
Sustainable Sock Liner: The sock liner's sustainable dyeing process means less environmental impact during manufacturing, but does not require special care beyond standard cleaning.
