ASICS teams-up with Canadian skate brand Dime. for another shot at the holy grail of comfort and practicality.

Being based in Montreal means the team at Dime are more-than-familiar with the benefits of GORE-TEX technologies. The wind and waterproof properties serve as the perfect companion to the freezing cold, sleet-riddled days which define the Canadian winter. This protective layer is sandwiched beneath an engineered knit upper— heathered just like your favourite sweater. On top are fused synthetic layers for reinforcement.

Under-foot is a combination of ASICS FF Blast Eco foam and the famed GEL cushioning. Together they make the GEL-Quantum VIII one of the most comfortable things you can put on your feet.
