Since the mid-90’s the GT-2000™ series has maintained an enviable position as the industry’s most popular all-around running shoe bysticking to a simple strategy: Combine a comfortable, supportive platform with an uncomplicated upper,while striving to stay consistentwith prior models. While the series has certainly evolved technically, each update has remained true to the original concept, and the shoe continues to satisfy millions of loyal runners.

What’s New with the Asics 2140?

Fans of the series will be pleased to learn that the GT-2140™ will employ just a few small tweaks from the previous version. The midsole tooling is new but employs the same stable base specs as the GT-2130™, while improved Solyte® material will provide better ‘bounce back’.  To enhance midfoot support, the Space Trusstic System® has been lengthened slightly on the medial side, offering a bit more rigidity and helping to prevent excessive collapse at mid-stance.   

While the Asics 2140 upper features an all-new design, the geometry and pattern of the upper will remain relatively unchanged.  The shortened collar length employed by the GT-2130™ will return, along with a slightly longer vamp area for a comfortable forefoot fit.  For plush platform comfort, a 5.5mm Comfordry™ sockliner will replace the EVA sockliner used on previous models.  Made by Ortholite, the one-density memory foam material provides a cushy platform feel and reforms itself after every run.  This helps to maintain a fresh-out-of-the-box feel long after a standard EVA sockliner tends to ‘bottom out’. 

Road Test of the Asics 2140

The GT-2140™ will have a noticeably softer platform feel than the GT-2130™, due primarily to the memory foam sockliner.  Stability won’t be compromised however.  In fact, with its enhanced midfoot stability, the shoe will be a product solution for a broader gait range than before; even reaching a portion of runners deemed to be slightly more severe over-pronators.  This was substantiated by lab tests on the GT-2140™ that showed improvements to both stability and cushioning compared to the prior model.  Upper fit will feel pretty much the same, as the specs are virtually identical.
