The Asics Cumulus® series has long been a favorite of runners who appreciate a pillow- soft trainer at an affordable price.  With its broad, stable platform, the shoe has also maintained a loyal following from those who require a bit more support.  In fall 2008, the series took a big stepforward by adding higher-end IGS® components.  ThisBack on my Feet in Baltimore Sun strategy worked brilliantly, as runners embraced the shoe with renewed enthusiasm.  The 2009 version, the GEL-Cumulus®, will continue the momentum with some new fit features, and a few make-sense ‘tweaks’ to that will be sure to satisfy fans of the shoe. 

In a Nutshell
The GEL-Cumulus® features a more decoupled heel environment for improved shock attenuation at heel strike.  The new, lightweight Solyte® midsole also provides a softer platform and drops weight down to a performance-oriented 11.4 oz.  (325 grams) The tooling offers a broad base of support and makes the shoe a good product solution for mild over-pronators that prefer a cushioned ride.  The upper features a new kimono tongue construction coupled with lateral memory foam for a snug comfortable fit.  Also noteworthy is the heel tab, with new geometry to lessen the potential for irritation. 

Road Test
The road feel of the Asics Cumulus is a bit softer than previous models, and the lighter weight gives it an improved performance ride.  The platform feels exceptionally stable for a cushioning shoe.  The upper remains true to the iconic unstructured GEL-Cumulus® vamp construction for an open toe environment.  Also, the new kimono tongue construction will provide a supportive fit on the lateral side, taking the overall fit of the shoe to a new level of comfort. 

New Features

  • ‘Discreet’ GEL® Cushioning System heel set-up improves shock attenuation
  • Improved Solyte® midsole is spec’d slightly softer than the previous model for a lightweight, cushioned ride
  • ‘Kimono’ tongue construction and lateral memory foam in quarterpanel provide comfort and lateral upper support
  • Improved heel collar geometry reduces potential for Achilles tendon irritation
  • 2 layer PHF® construction is stitch-less to reduce potential for irritation
