ASICS GEL-CUMULUS, a series born in 1999 and still holding its status as a versatile running shoe, now transforms one of its silhouettes into an aesthetic reference, ready to accompany you in your day-to-day routine.
ASICS has made it possible for style-seekers to rediscover performance-oriented models through a new lens. As the 2010s running aesthetic makes its comeback, some of the brand’s most successful designs return to the spotlight—starting with the ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 16.
The Cumulus legacy
The first ASICS GEL-CUMULUS, launched in 1999, laid the foundation for a historic series beloved by runners around the world. Its name, Cumulus, refers to a type of low-altitude cloud, soft and cotton-like in appearance, often associated with good weather. That was precisely the concept behind the original model: a balance of comfort and versatility. Its immediate success led to a product line that, 25 years later, remains faithful to its core mission—delivering comfort to runners.
ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 16
The return of the 2010s running aesthetic brings back the GEL-CUMULUS 16, a model released in 2014 that blended layered construction with materials that defined the look of that era. And of course, it offers the same reliable comfort. FLUIDRIDE and FLYTEFOAM technologies—cutting-edge for runners in 2014—regain relevance in 2025, supported by a techno-forward look that has taken over the streets.
Essential colors meet metallic tones in homage to the original release, while bold new combinations give this ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 16 a fresh perspective. Its mission is clear: to bring running-level comfort into all areas of everyday life. Try them on and find the colorway that best suits your personal style.
