Description

  • Video Description View the Video Description for this product! (Please note that the color shown in the video may no longer be available.)
  • You can't help but add a little bounce and hop as you stride along effortlessly. It must be the pillowy plush of the ASICS® GEL-Cumulus® 14 underfoot!
  • Successor to the GEL-Cumulus 13 (no longer available).
  • A running shoe built for the underpronator to the mild overpronator.
  • Breathable open mesh upper.
  • Durable synthetic upper for targeted support.
  • Plush tongue and collar.
  • PHF® (Personalized Heel Fit) creates a custom fit as the two layers of memory foam that line the collar mold to your heel.
  • Soft, breathable fabric lining offers a great in-shoe feel.
  • Removable foam insole supplies light underfoot cushioning.
  • I.G.S® (Impact Guidance System) is an ASICS design philosophy that employs linked componentry to enhance the foot's natural gait from heel strike through toe-off.
  • Solyte® midsole is lighter than standard EVA and SpEVA® designed by ASICS. Its responsive nature delivers a supremely cushioned ride and makes it highly durable.
  • Rearfoot & forefoot Gel® cushioning systems work together to better attenuate impacting shock and allow the foot to move fluidly throughout the gait cycle.
  • Space Trusstic System™ mid-foot stabilizer creates a pocket between the Trusstic System unit and the midsole, promoting more controlled midsole deformation, as well as more efficient foot function.
  • Guidance Line® technology employs a vertical flex groove that decouples the tooling along the line of progression for maximum stride efficiency.
  • DuraSponge® forefoot outsole material is comprised of a blown AHAR® (ASICS High Abrasion Rubber) rubber for superior cushioning and long-lasting wear.
  • AHAR is known for its supreme durability and is strategically placed throughout high-wear areas of the outsole.
  • Imported.

ASICS® was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote sports. In fact, ASICS is an acronym from the famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which translates, "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Originating in Kobe, Japan over fifty years ago, ASICS shoes and ASICS clothing were introduced to the United States in 1977. Throughout the years and running beyond today, the ASICS philosophy imparts an incredible story of athletic performance and technical advancements.

ASICS shoes, apparel and bags are produced in a wide assortment to meet the needs of men, women and kids. ASICS has produced products filled with technological designs and features such as the revolutionary ASICS® GEL® Cushioning System. The ASICS® GEL-NIMBUS® and ASICS® GEL-KAYANO® running shoes have benefited from such innovation and have enhanced the running experience for so many ASICS mens and ASICS womens aficionados. So on any given day, a runner can get fitted from head to toe with ASICS running clothes and ASICS running shoes. A feat Kihachiro Onitsuka would be very proud of to this day.

Running is one focus for this brand as ASICS produces products for training, volleyball, wrestling, track & field, cheerleading and field sports. ASICS kids shoes and ASICS kids clothing are made for the younger athletic market. Rounding out the brand’s product offering are ASICS bags to help meet the demands of your sporting desires.

To date, ASICS continues to put forth quality tested products designed to stand the rigors of elite and amateur athletes alike. Willing to try something new, and always staying ahead of the curve is how ASICS manages to stay true to it's namesake.

They dropped the heel in the Cumulus 14 and made the show narrower compared with past years' models so it feels like a completely different shoe. For those upgrading from the Cumulus 12 or 13, this will feel like a complete departure, shop for a different shoe

I have been using the Gel Cumulus series for years and loved them. This one does not live up to the earlier shoes. I wear a 4E and always loved how the shoe fit. This new one feels too narrow. I originally thought they shipped the wrong size. The heel feels funny as it is elevated and the new design gave me plantar fasciitis (a problem I had before I found the Gel Cumulus). I had to go back to my old pair. After a week the pain was gone right away. Now I have to find another shoe :( Please go back to the old design.

Completely different feel from the rest of the Cumulus series. Before I even put the shoe on I could tell there were drastic differences from the previous Cumulus shoes. For someone who underpronates with a high arch, there's no arch support and way too much cushion for the outside of the foot. I used to be able to put on a new pair of Cumulus shoes feeling as if I'd worn them for a month. With the Cumulus 14s, I feel like I'll never adjust to them. Very disappointed in the changes.

I have been a Cumulus wearer since version VII, several years worth now and the upgrades have typically been positive things which enhanced my experience while maintaining the basic Gel Cumulus design (which worked well for high arch, underpronator). Not these, however. Some significant changes have been made unfortunately, such as a substantial reduction in the density or thickness of the cushion layer in my opinion, leaving me to search the remaining sneakers in the Asics line for an acceptable substitute.

Caution: This shoe fits differently than previous editions of the Gel-Cumulus. Apparently ASICS has redesigned this shoe with a lower profile, which completely ruins the excellent supportive fit I once enjoyed from the Gel-Cumulus line. The shoe is too short around the heel and ankles and I can no longer wear my orhotic supports with this shoe. Even without the orthotics, these shoes feel like the are about to come off- like I'm going to run out of them- much like a pair of slippers. Very disappointing. Bring back the original Gel-Cumulus!
