Long a favorite of seasoned runners, the Japanese footwear label’s line-up of chunky, hi-vis mesh trainers — silos like the Gel-1130 or Gel-Kayano 14 — have captured the collective intrigue of footwear fanatics everywhere in recent years, aided by various big-shot collabs with brands like Kith and JJJJound.
Every Spring Jacket Imaginable Is Available at the Todd Snyder Sale
From field coats to macs to denim jackets, Todd has the jacket for youIf it’s time to retire the New Balance 990s or Nike Air Monarchs for something a bit fresher, you’re in luck. Seemingly against all seasonal pricing odds, the brand’s most fatherly of footwear — the Asics GT-2160, a bulbous, ultra-technical lifestyle model directly inspired by the iconic GT-2000 running line — is currently marked down by 25%, just in time for Father’s Day.

Go on — make a dad’s day. Or make your own day, even if you’re not a dad. We won’t tell. You can find the on-sale Asics GT-2160 below, or, shop the entirety of Asics’ father-friendly footwear here.
