Blending minimalism and architectural design is no strange task for the Australian brand Above The Clouds. Known for their distinct fashion touch, the label has once again brought their high-concept art to ASICS for another collaboration that adds interest and style to a classic silhouette. Having previously worked on ASICS’ GT series, the pair is once again taking to one of the brand’s most notable models for a fresh, new look. This time around, the pair has updated the GEL-QUANTUM 360 I, a fan-favorite that introduced 360 degrees of Gel technology in the midsole. Along with a design upgrade, subtle changes have also been made to the design’s features that add to the sculptural aesthetic of the overall sneaker. 

Above The Clouds and ASICS unveil new collaborative sneakers

In their latest collaboration, ASICS and Above The Clouds have unveiled two new looks for the iconic GEL-QUANTUM 360 I. Both iterations come with the same silhouettes and features, but differ in colorways. Still featuring the MOIS TECT mesh upper and external heel counter from the original model, the collaborative sneaker has been updated with a new extended lace system, reinforced toe cap, and jacquard mesh layering. Still including the Gel technology, the midsole has also been reinforced with the brand’s FF BLAST PLUS cushioning for more comfort underfoot. This collaborative design arrives in Soft Yellow/Black and Soft Yellow/Brisket colorways, providing an option for those looking for something subtle or with a pop of color. Both iterations are now available via ASICS’ webstore for $210 each.

Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

Can a watch be a dress watch if it’s got an in-your-face design element like, say, the balance wheel visibly spinning on the dial? Christopher Ward is betting yes.

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
