Sleek All-Black Stealthy Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

NU LABEL and ASICS Launch a GEL Quantum 360 Sneaker Update

— October 28, 2020 — Fashion
Japanese imprint NU LABEL works in collaboration with ASICS on the GEL Quantum 360 sneaker model for the season. This marks the first time that the two labels are joining forces and immediately, the two take on a minimal design language to offer stealth aesthetics.

The design is clean cut and prepared to match any garments that wearers put together. It draws the sporty expertise of ASICS and its ability to create premium footwear designs, giving the shoe a simple update. It is made from mesh at the upper and sole detailed further with suede overlays in gray accents. There are then clear overlays at the side panels and embossed details at the toe that reads "ASC-NL-001" to round it all out.
