The GT-2000 is younger than the shoe it descends from. ASICS ran a 2100-series stability line from 1993, and in 2012 renamed it, restarting the version numbers under the GT-2000 name. That is why a model on its tenth edition in 2021 can also claim a lineage running back nearly thirty years.
Its place in the range has stayed constant: a mid-priced stability trainer sitting under the Kayano, lighter and more flexible than the flagship and noticeably less expensive. Reviewers have long described it as the racier of the two, which is not what most people expect from a support shoe.
The tenth version, dated to September 2021, used a one-piece mesh upper over FlyteFoam with a GEL unit at the rearfoot and a medial support system on the inner side. Black with white is the version that makes none of that visible, and it launched at a hundred and thirty dollars alongside a wide-fitting build of the same colorway.
