ASICS GEL-Quantum 360 6 Preto Mens | The Joker’s Green and Purple Hit The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 9

As far as ASICS styles you’ll see on the street, the GEL-NYC and GEL-Kayano currently have all the juice. But real heads will know that the Japanese imprint’s catalog is full of gems that excel in the exact same line as Seasons models. Case in point, the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 9.

As far as eye-catching colorways, you won’t find many more eye-catching than the ASICS GEL-Nimbus 9 “Joker.”

The ASICS GEL-Nimbus 9 “Joker” lands this June, retailing for $160. Enjoy official images ahead to get a sense before getting your hands on a pair.
