As ASICS’ control of the ongoing tech-runner trend is mainly carried by accessible models like the GEL-1130 and GT-2160 among others in the $100-$150 range, the Japanese brand has also introduced some high-end runners like the ASICS GEL-Quantum Kinetic with advanced tech features and premium price tags to match.

Among the latest designs led by collaborator-turned-brand advisor Kiko Kostadinov, the GEL-Quantum Kinetic could be considered the finest, earning enthusiastic feedback for its comfort since it debuted in August 2023. Fresh palettes have emerged in sets, and that remains true here with three new styles set to arrive for Fall 2024.

The lineup includes a bold black and gold color scheme with a touch of “Dark Sepia” on the sole, a silver and burgundy combination with metallic details underneath, and an interesting khaki/silver blend with green cushioning underneath.

While not a Y2K runner in any way, the design takes inspiration from various well-established ASICS collections such as the GEL-Nimbus and GEL-Kinsei alongside the prominent GEL-Kinetic. Aligned appropriately with current trends and classic ASICS characteristics, most palettes have centered around the retro-futuristic feel prevalent in this latest trio.

The ASICS GEL-Quantum Kinetic is priced at a hefty $250 MSRP, justifiable by its cutting-edge cushioning system. The sole incorporates Scutoid GEL technology with 3D geometry at an angled tilt, enhancing shock absorption while offering premium, all-day comfort.

All three styles are expected to land on asics.com soon. View the official images of each choice below and visit our Sneakers page to explore more upcoming pairs.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
