introduction
The GT-2140 is a moderate featured shoe that will continue to satisfy runners with mild to moderate pronation. Great for everyday training, the 2140 has a semi-curved shape.

cushioning
Rearfoot Gel cushioning system is a medium sized silicone based gel that attenuates shock during impact. Forefoot Gel cushioning system is a silicone based gel that attenuates shock during toe-off. Impact Guidance System (IGS) is utilized in the lateral heel to further decouple the shock of the heelstrike.

midsole

Solyte is Asics' top of the line cushioned and responsive midsole. Solyte is very light for the level of cushioning and durability it delivers.
DuoMax Support System is located in the medial midfoot and is a dual density midsole that is designed to reduce excess pronation.
Space Trusstic System is located at the bottom of the midsole and is made out of thermal plastic. This gender specific midfoot unit controls midsole deformation which allows for natural foot movement while stabilizing the midfoot of the shoe.
Impact Guidance System (IGS) is Asics' design philosophy that enhances the foot's natural gait.

upper

Open mesh encompasses the majority of the upper and offers breathability to keep the foot cool.
Asics logo is located at both the medial and lateral sides of the upper to keep the shoe snug to the foot.
Personal Heel Fit (PHF) is a two layer memory foam lining in the heel collar which creates a personalized fit.
ComforDry Sockliner is made from an anti-bacterial material that not only reduces odor and moisture but also provides additional cushioning.
Solyte 55 Last is located in the rear portion of the shoe and has a medium density to deliver a moderately soft feel under the foot. Traditional strobel last completes the forefoot of the shoe.

outsole
Asics High Abrasion Rubber (AHAR) is located in the heel and is a carbon rubber that offers exceptional durability. DuraSponge is located in the forefoot and is a blown AHAR compound that delivers cushioning, responsiveness, and flexibility.
