Area 51

The GEL-QUANTUM KINETIC™ sneaker combines experimental engineering with functional details for everyday scenarios. Its performance capability is met with technical components to create a modern design that’s built for urban exploration. ​

Synthetic leathers and various mesh panels are layered throughout the upper to improve comfort. Its advanced aesthetics draw inspiration from iconic ASICS® running franchises, like the GEL-NIMBUS®, GEL-KUSHON™, GEL-KINETIC™, and GEL-KINSEI® series'.​

We leveraged the expertise of the ASICS® Institute of Sport Science to construct the midsole. It features our Scutoid GEL™ technology that has a closely packed 3D geometry and an off-axis structure. This arrangement improves shock absorption in daily scenarios, like commuting in the city or standing for long durations. ​
