ASICS Gel-Cumulus 22 MK Running Shoes
The GEL-Cumulus 22 MK running shoe is a recommended choice for neutral runners who want a soft, flexible everyday trainer with a great fit. This version features a knit upper for a lifestyle appeal.
Knit Upper
The GEL-Cumulus 22 MK Running Shoes have been designed using a comfortable knit upper construction, which ensures a constant, comfortable experience when running. The materials have perforations strategically placed throughout the fabrics to provide you with a constant supply of airflow, allowing feet to remain dry and cool when under immense workout pressure. Not only this, but the comforting materials have more of a lifestyle appeal, to provide you with more of a day-to-day style shoe, that is also great for runs or gym sessions. Moisture-wicking, the materials will work to remove sweat and moisture from the surface of your skin, allowing your feet to remain dry and cosy, even during more active sessions. A traditional lace-up structure allows you to get a secure fit and feel, preventing in-shoe slipping from occurring when training or running. Finally, the shoes have reflective details to enhance visibility when training in low light conditions.
FlyteFoam Midsole
Designed to provide lightweight cushioning, the midsole of the Gel-Cumulus 22 has been constructed using asics' signature flytefoam propel technology. FlyteFoam is the lightest cushioning material ASICS has ever made, 55% lighter than the industry standard, EVA and it buffers against the ground to protect you from unnecessary stress and fatigue. Its reinforced, organic fibres let the material bounce back to its original shape after every run, so you can train harder, more frequently, for longer without the worry your shoes might not be able to take it. This version is softer than their predecessors, promoting a pillowy ride for underfoot comfort. Embedded within the midsole platform, and complementing its bouncy nature, are the Rearfoot and Forefoot GEL Cushioning Systems. They work to reduce shock during the impact phase, sparing your joints as you sprint down onto hard, unforgiving concrete, and allowing for a smooth transition to mid-stance. Completing the midsole is an Ortholite X-40 Sockliner which ensures added comfort and moisture managing properties. Featuring higher rebound properties, the sockliner ensures ample underfoot comfort whilst also working to wick excess sweat and moisture away from the skin to keep you cool, comfortable and dry at all times.
AHAR Outsole
Providing you with hardwearing traction and support, the AHAR outsole is exceptionally grippy towards a range of surfaces. Alongside this, the heel has been redesigned where the foot first hits the ground, therefore working to isolate impact, whilst the new heel design' deeper forefoot flex grooves work alongside the soft midsole to provide a smoother ride. The high abrasion outsole provides a strong grip and works to protect itself from damage, and protect users from losing control and slipping. Creating a strong bond with the ground beneath it, the outsole allows you to stay in full control at all times. Flex grooves also adorn the outsole to provide added traction underfoot, the grooves allow for natural foot flexion for easy, unhindered paces.
