Similar to the shoe's well-known version, the Asics GT 1000 7, the GT 1000 6's outsole features the very durable AHAR® rubber on its surface for maximum traction and a firm grip on the ground. The material is flexible, so it enables the shoe to bend according to the foot's movements.

The DuraSponge technology is basically the blown AHAR material added in the forefoot region for further flexibility and cushioning, on top of its capacity to shield the sole unit from abrasion.

Maximum energy returns with Asics GT 1000 midsole

The sixth iteration of the Asics GT 1000 employs the SPEVA® midsole for high comfort and maximum energy return. This technology is effective at attenuating impact forces. Also, it heightens durability by decreasing midsole breakdown, even as the runner continually uses the shoe.

The Rearfoot Gel® system in the shoe absorbs shock and helps in the easy transitioning of the foot from the heel strike to toe-off. This system works to provide an effective buffer system, returning energy effectually and producing forward propulsion for the runners.

Asics GT 1000 6 rearfoot

The Guidance Trusstic System® works together with the Guidance Line® technology for an increase in the efficiency of gait and promotion of the mid-foot structural integrity.

The technology connects the rearfoot with the front foot and holds up the mid-foot as it prepares for the propulsion from landing to the toe-off position. The Guidance Line feature is made up of a vertical flex groove that helps in making the strides more efficient.

The Dual-density DuoMax® Support System is placed in the medial mid-foot area of the midsole for support and stability.

Asics GT 1000 6 IGS SYS

The Impact Guidance System or I.G.S.® is placed in the midsole to help the runner perform in a more natural manner while running on the roads. It ensures a smooth transition through the gait cycle. The shoe has the removable ComforDry foam insole which gives a feel of customized comfort to the users.

High-quality performance and durability with GT 1000 upper

While the shoe's upper mainly utilizes conventional materials, their high quality, and excellent design enable the shoe to outdo its rivals in the market when it comes to performance and durability.

Asics GT 1000 6 upper

 The engineered mesh upper, along with the supportive overlays of synthetic material, gives the Asics GT 1000 6 its unique shape and a very soft feel against the skin. The mesh material is also very breathable and ensures a good amount of circulation inside the shoe.

The GT 1000 6's breathability is further enhanced through the utilization of a breathable fabric lining across the upper. It also creates a great in-shoe feel.

Asics GT 1000 6 up

The lace-up closure secures the runner's foot in place and prevents it from wobbling while inside the shoe.

Asics GT 1000 6 over

The cushioned tongue and collar feel very soft against the skin. Also, these features lock the foot in position, thereby preventing accidental shoe removals while running.
