The GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC™ sneaker combines experimental engineering with functional details for everyday scenarios. Its performance capability is met with technical components to create a modern design that’s built for urban exploration. ​ Synthetic leathers and various mesh panels are layered throughout the upper to improve comfort. Its advanced aesthetics draw inspiration from iconic ASICS running franchises, like the GEL-NIMBUS™, GEL-KUSHON™, GEL-KINETIC™, and GEL-KINSEI™ series'.​ We leveraged the expertise of the ASICS Institute of Sport Science to construct the midsole. It features our Scutoid GEL™ technology that has a closely packed 3D geometry and an off-axis structure. This arrangement improves shock absorption in daily scenarios, like commuting in the city or standing for long durations. ​ Tech & Materials Upper draws inspiration from the GEL-NIMBUS™, GEL-KUSHON™, GEL-KINETIC™, and GEL-KINSEI™ series Scutoid GEL™ technology features a 3D geometry that creates better shock absorption Designed in conjunction with the ASICS Institute of Sport Science FF BLAST™ cushioning from our running collection has been re-tuned for everyday purposes An internal heel counterImproves the overall fit by providing a better foothold Style #: 1203A270.252
