The GEL-QUANTUM 180 VII sneaker combines a futuristic shape with advanced cushioning technologies studied at the ASICS Institute of Sport Science. Its upper is reworked with a jacquard mesh upper that's engineered for better ventilation and comfort. The design's sleek aesthetic also features smooth lines and fewer layers to create a more adaptable fit. This shoe's GEL technology is structured to improve shock absorption underfoot. Its scutoid shape allows you to move more naturally during everyday scenarios (like on-foot commuting or exploring new environments). FEATURES * Jacquard mesh upper * Scutoid GEL technology features a 3D geometry that creates better shock absorption * FLYTEFOAM cushioning provides lightweight impact absorption * At least 50% of the shoe’s main upper material is made in part with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions * The sockliner is produced with the solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing technology
