US5-S GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC - Light Indigo/Peacoat

Part of the CURATORIAL Collection, curated style by Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS 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. ​

This collection draws inspiration from various material environments (Brandishing, Lucent Gloss, Soft and Hard Frames, and Pattern Tessellations) that juxtapose one another. These influences harmoniously balance the ideas of symmetry, repetition, geometry, and the beauty of imperfection.​

The colour palettes reference themes surrounding subverted shadows, new neutrals, and pastel touch. Each theme is influenced by: the sublime descent into the darkest shades, sensations of serenity, and complementary hues involving tints.​

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. ​
