A dinosaur themed sneaker takes shape through the latest ASICS SportStyle and doublet partnership

The GEL QUANTUM 360 I AMP blends reptilian textures, bold graphics, and functional molding to turn everyday movement into an immersive visual experience

National, 12th January 2026: ASICS SportStyle has collaborated with Japanese fashion brand doublet on a new sneaker release titled the GEL QUANTUM 360 I AMP. The collaboration draws inspiration from the world of the Jurassic period, translating prehistoric imagery into a contemporary footwear design.
The sneaker features a bold graphic print of a dinosaur’s head that extends across the upper. A 3D printing process has been used to create a textured surface that resembles reptilian skin. In addition, three dimensionally placed polyurethane elements are integrated into the design, giving the impression that the outline of the dinosaur’s head is rising from the shoe itself.

These design elements reflect ASICS’ focus on precise molding techniques and functional beauty, with established sports technology incorporated beneath the expressive exterior. The approach balances visual experimentation with the brand’s performance driven foundation.
The sole design follows a color scheme inspired by the image of a dinosaur’s teeth and gums. When the heels of both shoes are placed together and the toes are moved, the visual effect resembles a dinosaur opening and closing its jaws, adding an interactive element to the footwear.

Designed to encourage a sense of play, the sneaker invites wearers to engage with the concept during everyday moments. The collaboration aims to transform ordinary movement into a more engaging experience through imaginative design rooted in technical craftsmanship.

ASICS is derived from the Latin phrase Anima Sana In Corpore Sano, meaning A Sound Mind in a Sound Body, which continues to serve as the brand’s foundational philosophy. Founded in 1949 by Kihachiro Onitsuka, ASICS is a global designer, developer, and manufacturer of running shoes, sports footwear, apparel, and accessories. The stripe design featured on the sides of ASICS shoes is a registered trademark of ASICS Corporation.
