Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS is coming for our wallets again: the GEL-QUANTUM 360 I turns into a slip-on for extra convenience
With no laces, they’re so much easier to slip on and go!
Time to keep a close eye on your wallet again! If there’s one sneaker collaboration in recent years that has the editors squealing with every release and furiously discussing it in the office group chat, it’s Cecilie Bahnsen and ASICS. This duo perfectly overturns preconceptions about sneakers, blending romantic couture elements with practical everyday function.
In 2026, this highly successful partnership is entering a new chapter. The two brands have joined forces again to bring us a new release: the GEL-QUANTUM 360 I Mary Jane sneaker you’ll fall in love with at first sight.
Ditching the laces: The GEL-QUANTUM 360 I becomes an elegant Mary Jane
The most striking change this time is the complete removal of the traditional lacing system. Cecilie Bahnsen has reworked the classic ASICS GEL-QUANTUM 360 I silhouette into a sleek slip-on Mary Jane. In place of fussy laces, the shoe has a smoother, more elegant line across the instep, leaving behind the bulky dad-sneaker feel of traditional athletic shoes.
The upper is also full of thoughtful details. Look closely and you’ll find the delicate floral motif that is Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen’s signature. By blending high-tech athletic innovation with soft, sculptural elements, the design gives the sneaker an almost couture-level finish and fully showcases the versatile appeal of a Mary Jane.
Two color options: solid pink and solid black
Color-wise, the collection takes a minimalist yet visually striking monochrome approach. It comes in two distinct options: “Solid Pink,” which instantly brings out your girly side, and “Solid Black,” a versatile shade with a touch of rebellious edge. The Solid Pink pair is sure to be a highlight of spring and summer outfits. Pair it with a simple white tee and jeans, or a floaty dress, for an instantly polished look. Solid Black, meanwhile, is a favorite for practical girls: it’s resistant to dirt and easy to care for, while the understated black color better highlights the dimensional floral details on the upper, so it won’t look out of place at the office. Many women worry that pretty shoes will rub or be difficult to walk in, though as an ASICS collaboration, comfort is guaranteed. The GEL-QUANTUM 360 I is designed for high-performance cushioning, with GEL cushioning throughout the sole for an excellent underfoot feel.
With Cecilie Bahnsen’s reworking, the shoe incorporates light, fluid elements, with every detail carefully considered. It’s more than just a beautiful shoe; it’s a versatile silhouette that pairs high-performance functionality with an elegant sense of craftsmanship, making it ideal for everyday wear. You can wear it shopping all day and still maintain an elegant stride.
