Feast your eyes gorp guys and girlies, the new Asics Gel-Quantum Kinetic trainer is one you’re going to want to pay attention to. Futuristic, experimental and function-focussed, they’re a must for everyone, whether you’re an avid sneakerhead or just want a new pair of kicks to parade down Broadway market on a Sunday.
Available in two contrasting colourways, the metallic panelling, mesh upper and super-technical details come in carbon and pure gold or shamrock green and dark sepia. Both options are undeniably autumnal, making for the perfect addition to your puffer coats and balaclavas as we shift into the new season.
A heralded staple in many of our wardrobes, the Kobe-based brand is known for its fresh take on grandad-core kicks. In recent years, however, it has elevated its silhouettes through a more trend-focused lens by working with prominent collaborators like Vivienne Westwood, GmbH, Andersson Bell and most notably, Kiko Kostadinov. These cross-pollinations have skyrocketed the brand from something tired and reserved for our elders, to something Gen-Z salivates over, and in Asics iconic lineup of trainers, so far this shoe holds its own.
Coined as the “next level of urban exploration”, this shoe is perfect for inner city living whether you’re commuting around or simply need that elevated accessory to enhance your look without having to compromise on comfort – which is what we’re all really looking for right? The Gel-Quantum Kinetic silhouette features Asics’ signature Scutoid gel soles, enhanced with shock-absorbtion for that added level of comfort.
If you’re wanting to nab them for yourself, the Gel-Quantum Kinetic trainer is available at the Asics Sportstyle website and select stores for £255. I suggest you do some girl math and justify these as your next great investment. What would 2023 be without them?
