Embarking on an all-new collaborative venture, Studio Nicholson x ASICS introduce their exclusive GEL Quantum 360 VIII.
Debuting on the scene over a decade ago in 2010, Studio Nicholson was born out of sheer love and admiration for Japanese culture, and all things surrounding it. So of course, collaborating with astounded label ASICS is a dream come true for the founder, Nick Wakeman. Can we blame her?!
“Sports and streetwear, particularly from the 90s, has forever been an overarching theme for us at Studio Nicholson – it’s when I formed all my design opinions. I’ve wanted to do a sportier sneaker collaboration for a while and ASICS, being Japanese, was the dream partner for me.” Nick Wakeman, Founder & Creator of Studio Nicholson
Handcrafted here in London, each limited edition shoe has been meticulously crafted to deliver unparalleled quality. With a focus on premium Italian leather throughout the composition, it comes as no surprise that only 100 pairs of these GEL Quantum 360 VIII will be available globally. Staying authentic to the sophisticated minimalism that Studio Nicholson is best known for, let’s take a peak at this immaculate offering..
Purposefully opting for a less-is-more appeal, the sneaker boasts an entirely black exterior, illuminating each sector with varied textural finishes. What better way to honour the iconic ASICS emblem than with an intricate weave of Italian leather – exuding a high-shine edge that keeps the luxe energy high. Elsewhere, the tongue displays a textured drummed leather showcasing Studio Nicholson’s logo, whilst branded aglets proudly commemorate the collaboration.
It wouldn’t be an ASICS collaboration without possessing the creme de la creme of functionality, which of course, it certainly does. Mesh uppers allow optimal breathability on the move, as DIVISION SPACE™ cushioning tech keeps every step lined with comfort.
The Studio Nicholson x ASICS GEL Quantum 360 VIII lands THURSDAY 30TH MAY 2024. You’ll be able to cop it ONLINE (STUDIONICHOLSON.COM) & IN-STORE (STUDIO NICHOLSON FLAGSHIP, SOHO), as well as exclusively via DOVER STREET MARKET LONDON.
