ASICS Prepares the GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC in "Birch"

Running with its momentum that it built in recent years, ASICS has again treated its fans to another successful year of well-designed sneaker releases. Whether it be via projects with the likes of Kiko Kostadinov or the utilization of new silhouettes such as the GEL-NYC, ASICS continues to impress. As the sportswear brand’s release calendar wraps up, the GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC has surfaced in a new “Birch” look.

The GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC — created by drawing inspiration from various running franchises such as the GEL-NIMBUS and GEL-KINETIC — utilizes a combination of synthetic leathers and mesh panels to create a layered upper that combines style and comfort. In “Birch,” a light brown hue pairs with a military green and dark olive to create a colorway that fits naturally into a fall palette. Classic ASICS stripes are joined by the brand’s logo at the tongue and a “GEL” hit at the heel to complete this street-ready pair.

At the time of writing, ASICS has yet to disclose its stateside release info pertaining to the GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC in this “Birch” colorway. However, it will be available via ASICS priced at $250 USD and its release in Japan is taking place on November 9.

For more of the latest and greatest from the sneaker space, Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen reconnected with ASICS to outfit the GT-2160 in colorways inspired by Japanese culture.
