The Drop
The ASICS Gel-1130 Steel Grey Pure Silver (1201A934-020) revives the early-2000s runner aesthetic that's currently dominating streetwear. This colorway leans into ASICS' heritage tooling with a clean two-tone mesh-and-synthetic build—Steel Grey overlays meet metallic Pure Silver accents for that vintage tech-wear vibe. It's part of the broader Gel-1130 resurgence, catching eyes from the Gorpcore crowd and Y2K nostalgics alike.
Resell Verdict
Fair resell sits around $117, with recent asks ranging $94–$180 depending on size and condition. This isn't hype-driven Jordan territory—it's a steady mover with 46 weekly orders, signaling consistent demand without wild spikes. The trajectory is stable, not explosive, making it a safe flip for small margins or a solid hold if the retro-runner wave keeps building. Erwarte keine Wunder, aber auch keine dead stock.
