FAQs
What is Scutoid GEL technology and what does it do?
Scutoid GEL technology is a specialized cushioning system integrated into the sole of these ASICS trainers. It's designed to provide exceptional shock absorption, particularly effective in mitigating impact on hard surfaces like concrete, enhancing comfort for daily wear and urban exploration.
Are these trainers suitable for running or other sports?
While inspired by ASICS running franchises, the Gel-Quantum Kinetic Trainers are primarily designed for urban exploration, commuting, and daily wear, offering comfort and support for walking and standing. For specialized running or high-impact sports, ASICS offers dedicated performance footwear lines.
How do I clean the mesh and synthetic leather components?
Gently wipe down the mesh and synthetic leather with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing. Allow the trainers to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Can I put my ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic Trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers. It can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning technology, potentially compromising their fit, comfort, and durability.
What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?
The upper part of the trainers is made from a combination of synthetic leathers and breathable mesh panels. The sole is constructed from durable rubber for traction and longevity.
How can I ensure the best fit for my feet?
The secure lace-up fastening allows for a customized fit. Adjust the laces to be snug but not overtight, ensuring your foot is held comfortably without any pressure points. Trying them on with the type of socks you typically wear can also help ensure an optimal fit.
Troubleshooting
Trainers feel too loose or too tight
Adjust the lace-up fastening. Ensure laces are snug but not cutting off circulation. Re-tie the laces for a customized fit that holds your foot securely without discomfort.
Foot feels warm or sweaty after wear
While mesh panels offer breathability, ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Allow trainers to air out thoroughly between uses to prevent odor buildup.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Check the rubber sole for any trapped dirt, small stones, or debris. Clean the sole with a damp cloth to restore optimal traction. Avoid walking on extremely oily or wet surfaces where grip might be compromised.
Minor scuffs or marks on synthetic leather
Gently clean scuffed areas with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a specialist synthetic leather cleaner or protector spray can be used, following product instructions carefully.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the lifespan and maintain the appearance of your ASICS Gel-Quantum Kinetic Trainers:

- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
