The Drop
The ASICS Gel-1130 Larimar Blue Silver (SKU: 1203A609-400) rides the retro-runner renaissance wave that's made ASICS a sleeper powerhouse in streetwear. This colorway leans into the brand's signature Y2K aesthetic with icy larimar blue mesh overlays balanced by silver synthetic panels—a clean, wearable palette that slots perfectly into the "gorpcore meets dad shoe" trend. It's part of ASICS' broader strategy to re-issue archival silhouettes for a new generation of comfort-first sneakerheads.
Resell Verdict
Fair market sits around $99, with asks spanning $75–$183 depending on size and seller desperation. With 132 weekly orders, there's steady turnover but slim margins—this isn't hype-flip territory, eher a volume play for resellers moving multiple pairs. The Gel-1130 category stays stable rather than spiking; expect gradual appreciation if ASICS collabs keep gaining traction, but don't bank on doubling your money overnight. Best suited for quick cash-outs or bundling with higher-margin inventory.
