Features
Whether you go for a run, walk the dog or just want a good pair of sneakers, the ASICS Gel-Cumulus 26 has everything you need.
The cushioning and comfort of this shoe make you feel like you are running on air. In our ASICS Gel-Cumulus 26 review, we tested it out on everything from marathon training runs to standing on our feet all day and found that it’s a reliable, cushioned and comfortable shoe that gets the job done.
Details:
- Upper: A lightweight, breathable engineered mesh provides comfort for your workouts. ASICS redesigned the heel to fit and look better.
- Midsole: ASICS’ lightweight FF Blast™ Plus midsole foam gives you a lightweight and energetic ride. It is combined with rearfoot PureGEL™ technology that gives you extra shock absorption in the heel while being lighter and softer than conventional GEL™ technology.
- Outsole: The Fluidride™ Outsole is a combination of EVA and rubber to provide a smooth and fast ride while giving you a bit of traction for the road.

What’s New
ASICS updated the Gel-Cumulus by putting a brand-new outsole on the shoe. The Fluidride™ outsole is a blend of EVA and rubber that helps with durability and grip. This outsole gives you a softer and smoother feel by contacting the ground with the foam materials that are not covered with rubber. They also managed to add cushion by increasing the stack height while reducing weight, making for a more comfortable ride.
Who It’s Best For
The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 26 is a great everyday training shoe. It works well whether you are just starting out with a walking routine or training for a marathon.
