The Asics GEL-Quantum 360 Knit 2, the second version of the Running shoes built with GEL 360º cushioning technology that ensures greater performance and responsiveness of the model, has arrived on the market. Aimed at runners looking for maximum comfort and running performance, it is an excellent option for neutral pronators looking for stability in every step. Also, this new update incorporates a new knitted mesh upper, minimizing irritation and chafing during training sessions.

Asics Gel Quantum 360 Knit 2, key features

If there is one main element it is undoubtedly the Gel 360º cushioning technology that gives the Asics Gel Quantum 360 Knit 2 running shoe its name. Thanks to this structure that balances high performance and maximum comfort, you will be able to run on hard surfaces and keep the softness in contact with the ground. This Asics series offers unprecedented, unique cushioning that promises responsiveness that's hard to match. While this cushioning technology is the essence of the model, we should not overlook the rest of the features present in the model.

Starting with the midsole, it is here that we find Asics Running's successful combination of technologies. On the one hand, the 360 Gel cushioning system, which runs from the forefoot to the rear of the shoe, providing superb shock absorption while allowing for smoother and lighter transitions. In addition, the super-lightweight Solyte midsole, already present in the previous model, adds extra cushioning with long-lasting responsiveness and comfort, improving stride momentum. The Trusstic propulsion system and the Impact Guidance System add the reactivity necessary for the runner to avoid twisting the foot and adopt a more natural foot posture.

To conclude with the midsole of these Asics Gel Quantum 360 Knit 2, we must highlight the Ortholite last and the Ortholite X-40 insole. This insole provides excellent protection and, thanks to its antimicrobial properties, will help keep the foot drier, more comfortable and drier for longer.

As for the upper of the new update of the Asics Gel Quantum 360 Knit, it is worth noting the inclusion of a new knitted mesh upper. Thanks to this modification, the Running shoes have a seamless design that prevents chafing and irritation during the most demanding training sessions.

The outsole has not undergone any notable updates and Asics Running designers continue to rely on AHAR® technology, a highly resistant material known for its ability to provide good traction and grip. It is in this area of the shoe where they have incorporated an external heel reinforcement, preventing heel wear.

Asics Gel Quantum 360 Knit 2, 360-degree cushioning

As we have already highlighted from the beginning, theGel 360º cushioning technology is the main feature of the Asics Gel Quantum 360 Knit 2 running shoe. This model is aimed at neutral pronators, who need to develop a more secure and stable training in short and/or medium distance races. With a lightweight and breathable design, and with the most advanced Asics technologies, the result is a high quality shoe that offers a great response on the hardest surfaces. As for the technical specifications, it is worth mentioning its 10mm drop.
