Asics Gel-Cumulus 19 Women's Running Shoes
Featuring Convergence GEL Technology and Rearfoot GEL Cushioning Technology, the Asics GEL-Cumulus 19 delivers superior comfort and shock dissipation, while enhancing foot function for a smooth ride. A contemporised upper signals the latest generation.
Upper
Redesigned, seamless uppers will encase each foot in breathable comfort. Perforates in the fabric increase airflow; creating a better, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. The seamless construction results in an irritation-free fit, so you can pace the pavements with zero distractions; because we know how rubbing and blisters can ruin your day. A ComforDry sockliner lies atop a cushy midsole, implemented to supply an extra layer of plush and hygienic underfoot comfort. This premium product features higher rebound properties but also provides excellent moisture-management and a high level of breathability; so you stay damp-free and comfortable on hot, longer distance days. Independently placed eyelets disperse lace tension; contributing towards the customised fitting environment of the Cumulus 19. Reflective elements complete the upper, increasing your visibility to passing vehicles and keeping you safe on those late night adventures.
Midsole
FluidRide resides in the midsole to supply underfoot cushioning, durability and bounce-back. This lively platform of resilience improves comfort and reduces energy loss in the gait cycle by harnessing kinetic energy, supplying that all-important spring in your step. Convergence GEL technology provides enhanced shock absorption and a more comfortable ride. Sitting beneath the FluidRide midsole material, and complimenting its bouncy nature, are the rearfoot and forefoot GEL Cushioning Systems. The rearfoot gel pocket is placed closer to the foot to replicate the natural tissue there, this increases the GEL's function and shock dissipation. The forefoot GEL Cushioning System attenuates shock during the toe-off phase. The result of the two systems combined is a smoother ride with reduced stress on the wearer's joints; so your knees and ankles are spared as you strike down onto and spring from hard, unforgiving concrete. Asics' Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.) is also incorporated into the Cumulus' midsole. I.G.S. works by enhancing the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe off; coaxing you to run in a neutral stance. Neutral running posture is further encouraged by Guidance Line Midsole Technology, which improves gait efficiency by helping the wearer to run neutrally. The winning combination of differently purposed technologies means you get a supportive, but cushioned, ride; helping the wearer to run neutrally whilst minimising the stress on their joints.
Outsole
The Trusstic System has been implemented to reduce the weight of the sole unit and link the forefoot and rearfoot; working alongside the guidance line to encourage a more consistent and directional gait. AHAR+ (Asics High Abrasion Rubber) is strategically placed on the outsole to provide extra durability and traction in high stress areas. The closely spaced tread provides superior multi-directional grip, allowing stability on wet and dry ground; giving you a resilient and hospitable running shoe.
