When it comes to shoes, we often have to choose between comfort and style.
But these kicks we’ve dug up for you have both and then some. Featuring unmatched comfort, sleek fashionability, and superb performance, these two new footwear drops are where it’s at in 2025.
ASICS GEL-QUANTUM 360 VIII Utility
There is a wide variety of shoes, each designed to cater to a specific individual and their respective needs. From trainers to work boots and even fashionable streetwear, we must choose which of these, and perhaps more, is best suited for the day. Well, ASICS has just debuted the solution, creating the one shoe you’ll ever need — ASICS GEL-QUANTUM 360 VIII Utility.
This sneaker showcases advanced craftsmanship and design that further improves the footwear’s already impressive durability. Drawing inspiration from technical outdoor garments, the shoe’s 5D-printed upper features muted shades made with dynamic design lines and nylon tab details, creating a look that is both sporty, practical, and even chic.
Of course, it is no slouch when it comes to comfort. The midsole incorporates ASICS’ own DIVISION SPACE, an innovative addition to relieve foot pain, providing more cushioning without the bulk and weight. Pair this up with FF BLAST BIO cushioning, which contains approximately 24% bio-based content derived from sugarcane, and your feet enter a world of unparalleled comfort.
The ASICS GEL-QUANTUM 360 VIII Utility retails for RM849 and is available now in both retail and online stores.
Footpatrol x Saucony ProGrid Omni 9
If you’re looking for more colourful and playful footwear and don’t mind waiting, then you can look out for the special collaboration between Footpatrol and Saucony for their ProGrid Omni 9.
Yes, Saucony and Footpatrol, a European sneaker retailer, have teamed up to redesign the ProGrid Omni 9 for a 2025 exclusive release. This partnership uses premium materials, a unique colour scheme, and well-considered design elements to elevate the traditional running silhouette.
The sneaker’s main features are long-lasting, rich chocolate brown overlays that resemble canvas and go well with the black mesh toe box and blue gradient mesh midfoot. The collar features glossy blue patent leather for an opulent feel, while TPU panels across the midfoot and heel provide structural support and are embellished with an eye-catching cracked black-and-blue pattern.
The Footpatrol logo subtly highlights the partnership by adorning the tongue and insole without overpowering the design. The trainers have a retro-modern appearance with a tonal outsole and blue and vintage cream accents infused into the midsole.
The Footpatrol x Saucony ProGrid Omni 9 will be available later in 2025, with an estimated retail price of US$170 (~RM759) and can be purchased via Footpatrol’s official website.
