Asics Gel 101, circa 1989. These came from my dad's sporting goods store which went out of business in 1991. I used to wear these all the time in high school, and they were my best running shoes in 1990, and I've just kept them around in retirement wearing them like once a year, because they're kinda classics--a big deal. These were made back when shoes were still simple. No frills, shox, or tuned air bubbles. Just some silica-filled water in a plastic bag underneath the insole. Ghetto! Sheer beauty.
