ASICS GEL-Trabuco MT GTX — Release Date, Updates & What Runners Should Know
The ASICS GEL-Trabuco MT GTX is a neutral, mid-top trail shoe built for wet-weather trail running and outdoor exploring. It combines GORE-TEX Invisible Fit weather protection with FF BLAST PLUS cushioning, a rock-protection plate and added mid-top coverage.
Release Date & Confluence Availability
ASICS is already publicly showing the GEL-Trabuco MT GTX and the exact colors below. Confluence Running's Fall 2026 Futures schedule shows the first Lake Placid shipment for October 15, 2026. Availability at Confluence will begin only after the shipment is physically received and processed.
What's New
The MT GTX construction adds a higher-cut trail upper and GORE-TEX Invisible Fit to the GEL-Trabuco platform. The mid-top design is intended to help keep rain, snow and trail debris out while retaining a cushioned trail-running ride.
Technology
- GORE-TEX Invisible Fit: helps keep rain and snow from entering the shoe.
- FF BLAST PLUS cushioning: lightweight cushioning for softer impact absorption.
- Rock-protection plate: helps protect the foot from rocks and trail debris.
- Durable toe guard: added protection for rugged trail conditions.
- Mid-top construction: additional coverage around the ankle opening.
Who It's For
Consider the GEL-Trabuco MT GTX if you want a neutral trail shoe with more weather protection and coverage than a standard low-cut trail shoe. It is especially relevant for wet trails, shoulder-season running, light snow, hiking and Adirondack conditions.
