Originally built for distance runners in 2014, the ASICS GEL-CUMULUS™ 16 now makes its return—not just as a performance sneaker, but as a lifestyle staple for a new generation.

This release arrives in a bold burgundy, pink, and silver palette—tones that echo the energy of 2010s running shoes while feeling fresh for today’s streetwear scene. The layered colours highlight the shoe’s technical construction: glossy synthetic leather overlays, no-sew paneling, and breathable mesh underlays, all brought together in a design that’s equal parts nostalgic and futuristic.

The GEL-CUMULUS™ 16 was once celebrated for its ability to carry runners through long miles with soft, reliable cushioning. A decade later, it resurfaces with its DNA intact, featuring FLUIDRIDE™ technology for smooth forward transitions, dual GEL™ inserts in the rearfoot and forefoot for shock absorption, and lightweight FLYTEFOAM™ cushioning for all-day comfort.

Beyond performance, ASICS continues to push towards sustainability. The sockliner is crafted through a solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by 33% and carbon emissions by 45% compared to traditional dyeing techniques.

The GEL-CUMULUS™ 16 isn’t just a sneaker—it’s a time capsule of the 2010s running boom, reimagined for today’s lifestyle and fashion sensibilities.

The ASICS GEL-CUMULUS™ 16 in Burgundy/Pink/Silver lands at Lemkus on 24 September 2024, available in sizes UK3–UK10 at a retail price of R2999,00.

The neutral distance trainer from 2014 resurfaces as a comfortable lifestyle shoe—ready to be worn, remembered, and lived in.
