Studio Nicholson approaches the ASICS GEL Quantum 360 VIII sneaker model with its own perspective, elevating the shoe with a premium build. Notably, this makes Studio Nicholson's first sportswear collaboration and it is quite direct. The two blend elements of luxury with sports, refining the silhouette down to a minimal visual.
ASICS packs the shoe with elevated technology which is seen in the form of the reactive sole unit and the breathable mesh upper. Studio Nicholson adds a premium touch and look to the shoe as it is lined with leather accents which are decorated in place of where the ASICS logo is often found, altering the shoe from a classic running sneaker to a luxury footwear.
