Gel Quantum 360 5 offers enhanced grip and traction
This outsole technology helps deliver the maximum performance of the shoe by enhancing its grip and traction on different surfaces. Such technology is found in other Asics running shoes.
The prominent feature of the Gel Quantum 360 5 is the series’ signature 360-degree GEL technology, providing underfoot cushioning.
Excellent shock attenuation
This highly durable midsole component employs excellent shock attenuation properties that protect the shoe from impact upon landing from all angles.
Having half the weight of most EVA foams, Solyte midsole delivers lightweight and comfortable cushioning with shock absorption properties. Because this midsole is lighter, it increases the speed of the runner, delivering optimal performance.
Promotes flexible foot movements
The Trusstic System which is also integrated into the Asics Gel Nimbus 21 supplies stability to the shoe by preventing it from twisting throughout different movements. It also provides structural integrity to the Dropping asics Gel Lyte 3.1 3.
Complementing the Trusstic System is the Impact Guidance System (I.G.S) technology which essentially promotes flexible foot movements, enhanced motion control, and efficient performance.
Responsive cushioning
This technology links different technical elements of the shoe that are critical to the delivery of top-notch performance.
Featuring the rearfoot and forefoot GEL cushioning, the shoe is able to break up shock upon impact while enabling movement throughout the gait cycle.
Higher rebound properties
To aid orthotics and provide higher rebound properties, a removable OrthoLite X-40 premium sockliner is embedded in the midsole of the shoe.
This element also provides superb moisture management and is responsible for supplementing a high level of breathability.

An Exoskeletal Heel Clutching System improves the fit between the heel and the shoe via restriction of displacement which is referred to as the “clutching” action. This deliberately delivers better performance and stability.
