US5-S Gel-Quantum Kinetic - Light Indigo
The CURATORIAL Collection, curated style by Kiko Kostadinov Studio and ASICS features reworked versions of the US5-S GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC™, US4-S GEL-TERRAIN™, and UB6-S GT-2160™ sneakers.
This collection draws inspiration from various material environments that juxtapose one another while balancing 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.
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.
Asics leveraged the expertise of their Institute of Sport Science to construct the midsole. It features 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.
