Foot Locker Celebrates Their Stripers With the ASICS GEL-QTM 360 VII ‘Queen Nazli’

Getting to create your own colourway is a dream for many sneakerheads, but it’s actually come true for one lucky team member. For the retailer’s latest link-up with , Foot Locker have handed over the creative reins to one of their very own ‘Stripers’ (their term for team members), and the result is the pinked-out ‘Queen Nazli’ GEL-QUANTUM 360 VII, which is exclusively available to cop through Foot Locker AU and NZ.

The colourway is part of a project that shines a light on some of the store’s team, and the face behind the design is District Manager of Foot Locker Melbourne and Hobart, Nazli Fazlioglu. A long-term Striper, Nazli has embraced her proclivity for pink by kitting out the sporty silhouette with a multi-tonal pink base, a pink GEL sole unit and contrasting cream .

Speaking on the colourway, Nazli said, ‘The Queen Nazli colourway was inspired by the essence of empowerment and sophistication, channelling the true spirit of a queen … Being able to create my own colourway was important to me because it allowed me to express my unique style and personality through a sneaker I normally wear. It gave me a chance to showcase my creativity and preferences in a tangible form. Knowing this is my design and it being exclusive to Foot Locker is super rewarding and something I am so proud of.’

But the ‘Queen Nazli’ ASICS GEL-QTM 360 VII isn’t just a pretty face. If you’ve stepped foot in one of their styles before, you’ll know that ASICS are synonymous with comfort, and the ASICS GEL-QTM 360 VII is no different. This pair combines breathable mesh uppers with a ton of the brand’s FF Blast cushioning, which is a staple feature within their running shoe tech that has been adapted for everyday use here. GEL tech also improves the style’s shock absorption, making the GEL-QTM 360 VII the perfect runaround option, whether you’re exploring the city or racking up steps working the shop floor.

For those looking to cop something sophisticated with the added bonus of having a meaningful community story behind it, the sneaker will be available exclusively through Foot Locker AU and NZ tomorrow at 9am, both in-store and online. Hit the link below to secure yours.
