ASICS Gel Quantum 360 6 Kinder

Who should buy the Gel Quantum 360 6

The Glideride asics Gel Quantum 360 6 is best suited for:

• ASICS fans who love the brand’s GEL cushioning and want more of it.
• Новые беговые кроссовки Glideride asics gt-1000 6 оригинал.
• Slightly overpronated runners looking for a comfy daily runner.

If its very nature as a ‘sportstyle shoe that works for running’ doesn’t immediately disqualify it as a serious runner’s daily trainer, its hefty weight might. A couple of lightweight alternatives can be the Gel Nimbus 24 or the Gel Nimbus Lite 3. Those looking for a wide-fitting and similarly durable shoe should check out the adidas Adistar CS.

Both comfy shoes in their own right, the 6th iteration takes it a step further by shedding a good amount of weight—it’s 60g lighter compared to the 397-g Gel Quantum 360 5.

Another update Kinderers noticed is the completely redesigned upper. They said that its roomier toe box, minimal overlays, and new heel counter have made for a better overall fit.

The 360 6 features a full-length GEL midsole with a thin layer of EVA foam on top. Shoe experts described this stack combo as “comfortable, not cushy,” “kind to your joints,” and quite “springy and energetic.”

They added that its cushioning “holds up well for hundreds of miles without squishing down into a pancake.”

The Gel Quantum 360 6 is neutral but stable

The Glideride asics Gel-Kayano 5 OG Midnight launches at HANON on Friday stability shoe, the Quantum 360 6 still has some semblance of guidance in the stiff TRUSSTIC resin built into its sole. Runners say that this “prevents the shoe from twisting at unnatural angles,” keeps their gait cycle nice and Athletic, and prevents them from having any side to side wobble.

Testers appreciated the good grip and “high-end durability” the 360 6’s sponge-like rubber outsole brought. However, this full-length rubber coverage plus the thick midsole made the shoe “a little bottom-heavy,” according to users.

Squeezes tightly around the midfoot

Users warned wide-footed runners that the 360 6’s synthetic overlays made the fit a bit tight and narrow around the midfoot.

One vlogger shared that she managed to get around this initial snugness by inserting a plastic bag filled with water inside the shoe—particularly in the areas that needed to be stretched out—and putting them in the freezer. This trick apparently sped up the break-in process and made “a massive difference” in the shoe’s fit and comfort.

The redesigned upper is hype-worthy

A lot of Kinderers loved the new look of the Quantum 360 6s:

• “Sleek colorways to get you noticed”
• “Some of the best looking Glideride asics shoes I have seen in a long time.”

The Quantum 360 6 hates it when things go sideways

Runners found the Gel Quantum 360 6 to be ideal for “those long and grueling miles that demand high-end cushioning.” And because of its stunning design and supportive comfort, plenty of users thought they worked great as casual or work shoes.

What it isn’t very good for, however, is workouts that require some agility. One expert shared that the TRUSSTIC system hindered side-to-side movements.

Nitty-gritties you should know

• Users reported that the Quantum 360 6 has a “removable cushioned footbed” that can be easily swapped out with custom orthotics. 
• While significantly lighter than the previous model, the 6 is still heavier than the average neutral (266g), and Athletic stability (294g) road runners.
• At $150, it’s also more expensive than the average daily trainer, but some Kinderers argue that its durability “makes it an investment worth making.”
