Summary

  • Above The Clouds and ASICS unveil the GEL-QUANTUM 360 I with an asymmetrical, sculptural design
  • Features include extended lacing, reinforced toe cap and layered mesh
  • Lauching globally on August 2 in two colorways, priced at $320 AUD

Above The Clouds continues to shape the Australian streetwear landscape with its latest collaboration alongside ASICS SportStyle: the GEL-QUANTUM 360 I. The sneaker fuses performance-grade tech with a deliberately fractured aesthetic.

The silhouette is assertively sculptural, anchored by an extended lace system, reinforced toe cap and bonded mesh layering. Visually, it resists symmetry, instead inviting motion and tension through unexpected contours and asymmetrical lines. This isn’t just footwear, it’s a manifesto against sameness.

The design is a clear evolution for Above The Clouds, a Sydney-born fashion institution known for blending minimalist retail architecture with high-concept curation. Since its founding in 2010—and following the opening of its Melbourne flagship at 80 Collins Street in 2025—Above The Clouds has become synonymous with progressive taste and global perspective.

Priced at $320 AUD (approx. $208 USD), the GEL-QUANTUM 360 I arrives in two striking colourways: “Soft Yellow/Brisket Red” and “Soft Yellow/Black.” The exclusive Australian release has already dropped at Above The Clouds, with a global rollout on August 2 via ASICS and stockists like KITH, Dover Street Market and Atmos.
