Best praise vs top criticism for Asics GT-2160
“Any grey New Balance (992, 993, 990v3, v4 or v6) My favorite: Asics GT-2160, insane comfort, plenty of colorways, breathable for summer, cheap and often on sale. Weak against rain though.”
“Absolutely agree about the colorway. But It’s funny, I have the Awake Gel NYC and kind of think they are uncomfortable or get uncomfortable sooner that other similar pairs in my collection. Def the least comfortable ASICS shoe after the Gel lytes, Kayanos and 2160s for me personally, which was surprising, though I love the look of this silhouette”
