GEL-QUANTUM 360 I: ASICS SportStyle and C.P. Company
The GEL-QUANTUM™ 360 I arrived in 2015 as a technical proposition: full 360° GEL™ cushioning, a silhouette shaped by performance logic rather than trend. A decade later, ASICS SportStyle and C.P. Company take that foundation and do something precise with it.
Their second collaboration, following a well-received first release in January 2024, carries the title Architecture in Motion, a phrase that does actual work here rather than decorative. The city, as both brands understand it, functions as a living structure. People move through it constantly, and the body adapts, absorbs, responds. A shoe designed for that reality needs to account for both the physical and the visual demands of that environment.
The result is a silhouette where function and form make the same argument. The double-layer technical jacquard mesh provides depth and breathability simultaneously. TRUSSTIC™ technology and external TPU reinforcement handle lateral stability. FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning keeps weight low and response high. These are the architecture.
“The city as architecture. The body in motion.”
C.P. Company contributes its Metropolis Series perspective: materials developed for performance, a design language rooted in the city rather than the countryside or the track. The brand's logo lands on the toe; ASICS places its spiral at the heel. The geography of the shoe tells the story of the partnership without requiring explanation.
Three colourways are available from March 19, 2026. The blue edition is exclusive to C.P. Company flagship stores and cpcompany.com. The remaining two move through official ASICS and C.P. Company channels and selected global retailers.
The collaboration found its corresponding event at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris, an institution grounded in the principle that different traditions, brought into genuine contact, produce something neither could alone. Bruno Sitton led a breathwork session focused on the relationship between the body, space and movement: the conceptual core of the project made physical.
