Nobody likes to see a retro model sent off for good. It’s always a bittersweet ending when a long-standing favorite is tucked away again, but at least with the case of the Asics Gel X-Tra pairs shown above they’re sending them off with a bit of fanfare. Both Gel models pictured here, the Asics A6-Gel X-Tra and the Asics Gel-111 X-Tra, will go for their victory lap in the European market, a land that has long enjoyed a much more readily available stream of Asics retro models than us American folk. Click through to get a look at both pairs from the Asics Gel X-Tra ‘End of an Era’ pack and let us know if you’ll be importing either from the likes of spots like 24 Kilates or Caliroots.
