Soda-Themed Cushioned Sneakers

Coca-Cola Joins ASICS on a GEL-Quantum 90 Sneaker Model

— March 24, 2021 — Fashion
Coca-Cola works in collaboration with ASICS on a new design iteration of the iconic GEL-Quantum 90 sneaker model for the season. The main detail that meets the eye is the signature red color true to Coca-Cola at the forefront paired together with some branding details.

The co-created shoe nods to the soda brand and a possible reference to the Tokyo Olympic Games. The upper is made from mesh materials in the aforementioned red hue with a raised Tiger Stripe at the midfoot cage area. The Coca-Cola logos can be seen on both the medial and the lateral side of the shoe. There is also a white ASICS reference at the tongue. It is complete with green GEL cushioning for comfort and a nod to the glass Coke bottles.
