Expert Review Sources
- Runagora : 84.4 / 100 — « Across our daily trainer testing on road, the ASICS GT 2000 12 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (275 g, a 10 mm drop). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €190. »
- Runnea : 83.5 / 100 — « In ASICS's daily trainer lineup, the GT 2000 12 delivers a smooth, dependable ride powered by its ASICS proprietary foam midsole. A smart choice for runners looking for a 10 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
- RunRepeat : 83.6 / 100 — « ASICS continues to refine the GT 2000 series, and the 12th edition stands out as one of the best updates ever to its stability daily trainer. We found in the lab that it really builds on the strengths of its predecessors, now integrating world-class FF Blast+ cushioning, shaving off some weight, and boosting outsole durability. Moreover, it has perfected stability. We found that the 3D Guidance System, combined with the midsole dimensions and shoe geometry, makes this shoe a real gem, particularly for heel strikers with its high drop. In our experience, the major drawback is that it's so consistently good across the board, it's almost boring not to find any big flaw! »
