FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic is primarily designed for urban exploration and casual wear, prioritizing street style and all-day comfort. While they offer excellent shock absorption, they are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic activities.
How do I choose the correct size?
These shoes generally run true to size. We recommend measuring your foot length and comparing it to the ASICS size chart. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up for comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.
What is Scutoid GEL Technology?
Scutoid GEL Technology is an innovative cushioning system developed by the ASICS Institute of Sport Science. It features a unique geometric arrangement of GEL components in the midsole to maximize shock absorption, providing advanced comfort and impact protection.
Can I put my Gel-Quantum Kinetic shoes in the washing machine?
No, it is strongly advised not to put these shoes in a washing machine or dryer. The heat and agitation can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always clean them by hand as described in the 'Care' section.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the synthetic overlays offer some resistance to light moisture, the mesh components of the upper are breathable and not fully waterproof. They are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to water to maintain their condition.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort, we recommend wearing athletic or casual socks made from breathable materials that wick away moisture. The thickness of your socks can affect the fit, so choose accordingly based on your personal preference.
Troubleshooting
My shoes feel uncomfortable or too tight/loose.
Adjust the lacing. Ensure your socks are not too thick or thin for the shoe's fit. Consider wearing them for a few short periods to allow the materials to break in. If discomfort persists, re-verify your size or consider trying a half size up/down.
The mesh or synthetic upper looks dirty or stained.
Use a soft cloth or brush with a small amount of mild soap and cold water. Gently wipe the affected area. For stubborn stains, a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for mesh and synthetic materials can be used. Always air dry completely.
There's a squeaking sound when I walk.
Sometimes squeaking can come from the insole rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and reinserting it. If the squeak is from the outsole, check for debris lodged in the tread or ensure the rubber is clean and dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic is straightforward:
- Lacing: Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through all eyelets. Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Avoid overtightening, which can restrict circulation, or keeping them too loose, which can cause instability.
- Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet.
Compatibility
The ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic, with its distinctive aesthetic, pairs well with a variety of casual and street-style outfits:
- Casual Apparel: Jeans, joggers, shorts, and t-shirts.
- Sportswear: Track pants, hoodies, and athletic-inspired jackets.
- Urban Fashion: Cargo pants, oversized shirts, and minimalist outerwear.
Its multicolor design allows for versatile matching, adding a pop of character to your ensemble.
Care
Proper care will maintain the appearance and longevity of your Gel-Quantum Kinetic sneakers:
- Cleaning the Upper: For the mesh and synthetic overlays, use a soft brush or cloth lightly dampened with mild soap and cold water. Gently rub away dirt and stains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials. Allow to air dry naturally, away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a stiff brush or old toothbrush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
- Drying: Never put your shoes in a washing machine or dryer. Always air dry them at room temperature.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid Submersion: While durable, these shoes are not designed to be fully submerged in water.
