ASICS changes its stability trainers one component at a time, and on the eleventh GT-2000 the component was the foam. Out went the FlyteFoam that had carried the tenth edition; in went FF Blast, a lighter and more energetic compound from the same family, which gave the shoe a livelier toe-off without making it less forgiving on landing.
What did not change was the support logic. LITETRUSS stayed (a firmer structure built into the arch side of the midsole to resist the inward roll of an overpronating foot) along with the rearfoot GEL unit and the outsole rubber layout. The 11 is therefore a cushioning update sitting on a familiar chassis, which is why runners who liked the 10 generally got on with it.
The bigger rewrite came a generation later, when the twelfth edition removed LITETRUSS entirely and replaced it with a wider base and a bevelled heel.
This women’s pair takes a midnight navy mesh upper and lifts it with whisper green, a pale sage, on the branding, heel and midsole sidewall.
