The ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 16 Sneaker: Long-Distance Comfort Excellence Reimagined for the CityFirst launched in 2014, the
ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 16 immediately established itself as an absolute benchmark for its ability to offer exceptionally soft cushioning over very long distances. Now propelled to the heart of the
retro-running trend, this iconic silhouette keeps its impressive technical properties intact. It adopts an assertive urban style that will appeal to fans of sharp silhouettes looking for absolute comfort in their daily lives.
Triple Sole Technology: A Cloud Underfoot
The raw power of the GEL-CUMULUS 16 lies in the combination of three major ASICS innovations, designed to pamper your feet:
-
Dual GEL Technology Inserts: Strategically placed at the front and rear of the foot, the famous ASICS GEL capsules instantly absorb shock upon ground impact, reducing joint fatigue.
-
FLUIDRIDE Technology: This premium midsole structure combines lightness and bounce. It attenuates shock while promoting a smooth and gentle transition of the foot forward with every stride.
-
FLYTEFOAM Foam: Ideally integrated under the foot, this lightweight foam technology offers plush step-in comfort and durable responsiveness.
2010s Technical Aesthetic and Eco-Design
A graphic and airy design that focuses on structure while reducing its ecological impact:
-
Breathable Multi-Material Upper: Its upper structure features glossy synthetic leather overlays, no-sew heat-bonded panels, and open mesh underlays. This fusion of materials creates a powerful technical aesthetic, highly symbolic of the advanced running shoes of the 2010s.
-
Responsible Sockliner: Always environmentally conscious, the brand uses a solution dyeing (Solution Dyeing / Dope Dyed) process for its sockliner. This eco-friendly choice allows for reducing water consumption by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by nearly 45% compared to traditional dyeing methods.
