Originally launched in 2014, the GEL-CUMULUS® 16 sneaker is formerly recognized for its soft cushioning capabilities while running longer distances.
Its upper construction features a combination of glossy synthetic leather overlays, no-sew paneling, and open mesh underlays. This fusion of materials creates a technical aesthetic that’s symbolic of advanced running shoes in the 2010s.
The sneaker’s soft cushioning properties are left intact. It features dual GEL® technology inserts, FLUIDRIDE® technology, and FLYTEFOAM™ technology to help provide a comfortable feel underfoot.
