We thank the nice people at Asics for sending us a pair of GT 2000 GTX to test. This did not influence the outcome of the review, written after running more than 50 miles in them. Asics GT 2000 GTX Price Comparison Men's Models ...
The visible Asics ‘Gel’ window occupies a lot of real estate in the back. It’s larger than the GT-2000 7, and that’s partly the reason behind the softer rearfoot cushioning. There’s a bit of a bias favoring the Gel side of the midsole, but it’s within acceptable tolerances. ...
The Asics GT-2000 7 is roomier, thanks to a new two-layer engineered mesh upper, but retains its protective ride.
After a few runs in the new GT-2000, it became evident that we assumed correctly. As it turns out, the GT-2000 3’s claim to fame is its new, softer level of cushioning, binding it with the GT-1000 3 and Kayano 21’s repurposed mannerisms. And no, it’s not the lightweight b...
This might be the right time to point out that the women’s GT-2000 5 is softer than the men’s model. All things being the same, the upper midsole layer (in black) is relatively softer on the women’s GT-2000. Asics has a name for this difference: ‘gender specific cushioning.’...
the overall package widens the gap between it and the $100 GT 1000-2, much more than what the mere $20 price difference would seem to suggest. On its own merits, the GT 2000 captures the sweet spot in the Japanese brand’s ’structured cushioning’ segmentation. Simply put, that place ...
The GT has gender-specific cushioning. The Women’s GT-2000 6 has a stack height which is lower by 1 mm and the top midsole layer is softer than the men’s version. UPPER FIT QUALITY The GT-2000 6’s upper comes with a slew of changes, both fit and aesthetic related. The synthetic...
The GT 1000’s outsole is also nice; the forefoot has Vomero 12 like blown rubber pods which grip and cushion at the same time. The GT 1000 lacks a plastic shank so it’s a half-ounce lighter than the GT 2000. If you can do with a slightly lower level of upper plushness, the ...
Asics has a new name for its medial post – Litestruss. The firmer wedge is invisible, as it’s co-molded with the midsole. Even though ‘Duomax’ is no longer a part of the GT-2000 10’s feature-set, the midsole still has a firmer density wedge. ...
No, seriously. We are not joking. Readour review of the GT-1000 2from over five years ago; the shoe was, quite literally, an industrial stink bomb. The 1000’s low-spec material was one of the reasons why we always recommended the slightlymore expensive GT-2000. Even with a price gap...
