The asics GEL-CUMULUS 16 made its debut in 2014 and was already known for its soft cushioning over long distances. Its upper combines matte synthetic leather overlays, seamless inserts, and open mesh—a technical look that is typical of the running shoe aesthetic of the 2010s. The proven cushioning remains: with dual GEL technology, FLUIDRIDE and FLYTEFOAM elements, the sneaker ensures a particularly comfortable running experience.
