M+RC Noir and ASICS Launch City-Inspired GEL-Quantum 180 6
Featuring a cinematic shot in Paris.
Japanese footwear giant ASICS collaborates with Parisian label M+RC Noir for the first time to offer us a GEL-Quantum 180 6, the 6th iteration of the GEL-Quantum 180 launched at the beginning of this year.
This collaboration lies at the crossroads of sport, technology, and urban lifestyle. Seen dressing many big names in the rap scene such as Gunna, Trippie Redd, and Sheck Wes, M+RC NOIR was created with the “ideal of creating a community that will break the boundaries between cultures.” For ASICS, this shoe reaffirms its desire to offer lifestyle products for the city.
The upper features a grey ripstop with waterproof wax contours and black suede overlays. The tongue and heel feature co-branding with a transparent “M+RC NOIR” horizontal pull tab. The translucent ASICS logo and dotted lines on the round black laces are shaded turquoise. 180-degree GEL technology cushioning in the midsoles see the same turquoise tint and are supported by a lighter blue outsole.
The M+RC NOIR x Asics GEL-Quantum 180 6 will retail at €180.00 (approximately $215 USD) and is available online at M+RC NOIR, and other select retailers such as Hanon and Solebox.
