Asics Launches New Sneakers for Comfort at Home, In the Office & Everyday Use
The Gel-Kinetic Fluent sneaker is designed for comfort in everyday scenarios, according to Asics.
Asics has launched the Gel-Kinetic Fluent sneaker, a shoe that channels the Asics archive but remixed with modern materials and technologies to help provide advanced comfort in everyday scenarios.
When the ASICS SportStyle design team first began the design process, they rediscovered archived running models within the Gel-Kinetic series. The iterations within each franchise were popular designs from the 2010s, featuring various elements, like technical welding structures and eyelet constructions. Each of these references are reinterpreted on the shoe’s upper and modified with more technical materials that add depth and texture to the design.
The midsole draws inspiration from the tooling system featured on the Gel-Quantum Kinetic sneaker. It implements both Scutoid Gel technology and FF Blast Plus Eco cushioning materials. These features are strategically engineered to help provide advanced cushioning and an energized step in everyday scenarios.
The Gel-Kinetic Fluent will be available from Shelflife, Lemkus, Superbalist, Sportscene and Sneaker District, and will retail for R4,000.
