ASICS Gel-Quantum 360, 180, & 90 Shoes
The baskets Asics Gel-Quantum 360 are recognizable by their visible Gel sole that wraps around the heel, providing cushioning from running, which has been embraced on the streets for its look and technical style. The Asics Gel-Quantum 180 and Gel-Quantum 90 maintain this visible gel on part of the sole, offering a more understated silhouette. Their breathable mesh upper, reinforced with synthetic overlays, holds the foot without being tight, and pairs well with joggers, cargo pants, or raw denim.
To choose your Asics Gel-Quantum, the number indicates the amount of visible gel: 360 for a full bubble and the most noticeable cushioning, 180 and 90 for a more subtle look. The black or white versions match with everything, while bright colours go well with a solid outfit.
The Gel-Quantum are part of the sneakers Asics, among all the sneakers on the site, and their end-of-line stock is included in the clearance Asics.
Asics Gel-Quantum 360: the sneaker with visible Gel cushioning
The Asics Gel-Quantum 360 come from running: Asics has taken a running shoe from its archives to create a sneaker with a look that’s half retro, half futuristic. Their signature feature is a visible Gel sole all around the heel, hence the number 360. This gel absorbs shocks with every step, providing comfort for walking around the city all day.
The brand name sums up this idea: ASICS comes from the Latin phrase “Anima Sana In Corpore Sano”, meaning a healthy mind in a healthy body. The Japanese brand, founded by Kihachiro Onitsuka, still develops its shoes based on sports performance.
Gel-Quantum 360, 180 or 90: which Asics Gel-Quantum to choose
The three versions share the same idea, an apparent gel underfoot, in different proportions. The Asics Gel-Quantum 360 have the most visible gel bubble and the most pronounced cushioning. The Asics Gel-Quantum 180 show the gel on part of the sole, with a more understated look. The Asics Gel-Quantum 90 are the most discreet, with a simpler upper, easy to wear every day.
Asics Gel-Quantum 360 black or white: which colour
The Asics Gel-Quantum 360 black are the easiest to wear: they go with joggers, cargos or raw denim and hide wear marks. The Asics Gel-Quantum 360 white give a cleaner look, to be paired with solid colours. Bright or reflective colours emphasise the technical aspect and are worn with a simple outfit.
Asics Gel-Quantum for running or for the city
Born for running, the Gel-Quantum maintain a breathable mesh upper at the front of the foot and good heel support. They are suitable for casual jogs and especially long days of walking in the city. For regular training, a running shoe from the current season is more appropriate, with cushioning designed for distance.
Size Asics Gel-Quantum: what size to take
Start with your usual size in Asics. The mesh upper fits the foot well; for a wider foot or to wear thick socks, a half size up leaves a bit of room.
The other Asics sneakers in the same range
Gel-Quantum fans often look at the sneakers Asics Gel-Kayano, which are thicker and highly cushioned, and the sneakers Asics Gel-Lyte III, with a retro profile and split tongue. To keep the mesh and the sole clean, sneaker care products clean without damaging the gel.
