The ASICS Gel Quantum 360 'Chameleoid Mesh' is one of the most searched ASICS colourways in Australia, and the questions behind the search are practical: will it be comfortable all day, can I wear it to the gym, is it fine for walking around a city or on holiday, and does it fit true to size? This guide answers each of those, using our current listings and stock, and the wearing advice from an independent Gel Quantum 360 guide.
Quick answer: the Chameleoid Mesh is a comfortable, cushioned lifestyle sneaker for standing, walking and travel days. It is not a running shoe, and it suits light gym sessions rather than heavy training. It is in stock at LUZActive in limited sizes at the time of writing, from $232 for men's and $326 for women's.
What the Chameleoid Mesh Is
The Gel Quantum 360 is ASICS' lifestyle model built around GEL cushioning that wraps the whole heel and midfoot, which is where the '360' name comes from. The Chameleoid Mesh colourway uses a mesh upper that our listings describe as colour-shifting when seen from different angles. Alongside the GEL unit, the shoe uses FF BLAST+ foam, a mesh and synthetic upper, and a TPU build.
The shoe is designed as a daily wear and travel sneaker. It has a chunky, retro-running silhouette and feels substantial on the foot. It is heavier than a typical running shoe, which is part of its character and part of the reason it suits long days on your feet rather than fast running.

Wearing Habits: What the Chameleoid Mesh Is Best For
Walking and city days
This is where the Gel Quantum 360 earns its place. The GEL cushioning keeps the heel comfortable on hard footpaths, shopping centre floors and station platforms, and the shoe feels settled rather than flexible on a long walk. Independent guides describe it as a shoe that is frequently praised for standing and walking all day, with a plush but heavy ride.
Travel and tourist days
For sightseeing, the shoe works well because it is comfortable for many hours and goes with casual clothes. Packing one pair for a city trip is a sensible choice. Two cautions: the weight is noticeable on a long hike or steep walk, and the sole is not designed for rough trails. For a full day of walking through a foreign city, a broken-in pair is more comfortable than a brand-new one.
Gym and light training
The shoe suits light gym days such as weights circuits, machine work and easy cardio sessions where you are not doing heavy lifts or fast lateral movement. It is not built as a dedicated training shoe, so for heavy training or sports with lateral movement, choose a cross-training shoe instead.
Running
The Gel Quantum 360 is not recommended as a running shoe. Its weight and lifestyle build make it a poor choice for regular running. If you run, choose a performance trainer such as the Gel Nimbus, Gel Cumulus or Novablast from our ASICS range, or read our ASICS vs New Balance guide for the current running models.
Everyday and work
For a day on your feet in an office, retail or hospitality setting, the cushioning is a real advantage. Check that the upper has enough room in the forefoot, because reviewers note it can feel shallow for some feet.
Fit and Sizing
Independent guides describe the Gel Quantum 360 as true to size with a standard width. Some wearers find the forefoot and toe box shallow or tight, so if your feet are wide or high-volume, be cautious even when the length is right. If you are between sizes, consider going up half a size. ASICS shoes are listed in US sizing on our site, so check our ASICS men's size guide or ASICS women's size guide before ordering.
Comfort and Durability
Comfort is the main strength. The GEL cushioning feels plush underfoot, and the shoe is widely described as good for long days on your feet. Two trade-offs are worth knowing. The shoe is heavy, which can feel bottom-heavy on a long day. Durability is also a weaker point: one independent buyer's guide rates the Gel Quantum 360 at 5 out of 10 for durability, so look after the upper, avoid wet pavement for long periods, and rotate pairs if you wear it daily.
Who Should Buy the Chameleoid Mesh
- People who want a bold, technical-looking sneaker for everyday wear.
- Anyone who stands or walks for long hours and wants cushioning rather than a light, flexible feel.
- Travellers who want one comfortable pair for city days.
- Gym-goers who train lightly and want a casual shoe that also works in the gym.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
- Runners, who should choose a performance trainer.
- Anyone who needs a light, flexible shoe for fast or lateral training.
- Anyone with wide or high-volume feet who needs more room in the forefoot.
Alternatives If Your Size Is Gone
The Gel NYC is the easiest everyday alternative, with a calmer, layered look and a lighter feel. The Gel 1130 is the slimmer option if you prefer a low profile. Both are lifestyle shoes, so the same wearing advice applies.

Final Verdict
The Chameleoid Mesh is a comfortable, cushioned lifestyle sneaker that suits standing, walking, travel and light gym days. It is not a running shoe, and it is heavier and less durable than a performance trainer, so buy it for everyday wear and check your size on the product page, because stock is limited.
