The Drop
The ASICS Gel-1130 Black Glacier Grey (SKU: 1201A910-001) revives the Y2K runner aesthetic that's been dominating street style seit 2022. This colorway balances a sleek black mesh base with Glacier Grey overlays and silver metallic accents—peak early-2000s tech vibes without screaming "Dad shoe." ASICS has positioned the Gel-1130 as the thinking person's chunky sneaker, riding the wave of retro performance models going lifestyle.
Resell Verdict
Fair market value sits around $100, with asks spanning $70–$174 depending on size and condition. Movement is solid (292 weekly orders shows real demand), but this isn't a moonshot flip—think steady singles, nicht home runs. Resell has plateaued as supply meets demand; good for volume sellers who can source below retail equivalents, less appealing for one-off flips chasing huge margins. The hype curve is stable with slight downward pressure as ASICS floods the market with similar colorways.
