ASICS’ New GEL-QUANTUM 180 VII Marries the Worlds of Futurism and Footwear

For decades, ASICS has been characterized by its trademark throwback silhouettes, extra comfortable fit, and unmatched “cool” factor. With the release of the brand’s latest sneaker, the GEL-QUANTUM 180 VII, ASICS is now moving into the world of futurism with a simple yet powerful statement design that can be incorporated into athletic and updated casual looks.

The GEL-QUANTUM 180 VII is an all-black model with striking accents that streamline the shoe and allow it to effortlessly blend with a variety of outfits. Functionality remains a strong focus for the brand as the 180 VII features Scutoid GEL technology and a breathable jacquard mesh material. The overall silhouette feels futuristic but the baseline design defines its retro identity.

This new sneaker is inspired by the tried-and-true GEL-QUANTUM 360 lineage, but with a new sense of “accelerated flow.” The brand referred to this phrase over and over again in the design process of this shoe, making sure to incorporate smooth lines and a modern feel along with essential practical features, like a full-length FLYTEFOAM cushioning system. This feature is indicative of the model’s contemporary evolution, as it was reworked with ASICS’ Institute of Sports Science.

The GEL-QUANTUM 180 VII can be purchased here for $130 USD.
