The GT-II, released in 1986, was the first shoe from ＜ASICS＞ to feature the iconic "GEL" shock absorption technology. Named after the high-speed, comfortable long-distance vehicle "Gran Turismo," it was a popular top-of-the-line running shoe at the time. This model is a re-release based on the original shape to commemorate its 35th anniversary, and is designed with inspiration from the sunrise shining on the summit of Mount Fuji. The ASICS stripes represent the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, and graphics of Mount Fuji and a tag have been added to deepen the story. I kept the blue ones from mita sneakers' GT-II because I thought they were stylish with their soft blue color, but I haven't had many chances to wear them, and since I'm accumulating more and more sneakers, I'm letting my child wear the pink ones and putting the blue ones up for sale. The original box is also included! The "GT-II (GT Two)" was released in 1986 as an upgrade model of the "X-CALIBER GT," which debuted in 1982 as the top-of-the-line running category model for the European and American markets. The "GT-II (GT Two)" was the first shoe to distribute GEL technology outside of Japan, and it has been re-released in this anniversary year to celebrate the birth of GEL, marking its 35th anniversary.
