# Minimal Hybrid Chelsea Boots ASICS & TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist Presents the Chelsea Sneaker Boot By Amy Duong | Published 2024-04-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chelsea-sneaker-boot References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/asics-chelsea-boot/) & [ssense](https://www.ssense.com/en-us/men/designers/asics)  ASICS works in collaboration with Takahiro Miyashita's TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist brand to present the [Chelsea](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luca-chelsea-sneaker-boot) Sneaker Boot for the season. The shoes have a stealthy design language and a comfortable build, rooted in a design theme that aligns with both contributing efforts. TAKAHIROMIYASHITATheSoloist is known for its rock and roll aesthetic and the traditional [Chelsea boot silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vessi-weekend-chelsea-boots) was a go-to, turning it into a sneaker. At a quick glance, the shoes look like any leather boot but at closer inspection, the sole is backed by [ASICS'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelterrain) GEl-QUANTUM 360 VII technology, which is the same as the technology that supports the traditional GEL-QUANTUM SNEAKER with the "Scutoid GEL in the midsole and FF Blast cushioning in the heel for shock absorption."
