Description

Midsole Cushioning: Visible dual GEL technology inserts in the heel and forefoot embedded within a lightweight, springy Solyte midsole carrier.
Cushioning & Stability Technologies: GEL-CUMULUS 16 tooling framework featuring a midfoot Trusstic system to provide torsional rigidity and structural midfoot support.

Key Features & Benefits

Archival Mashup Aesthetics: Combines 2000s running lineage with modern technical streetwear style.
Dual-Zone GEL Shock Absorption: Visible rearfoot and forefoot GEL pods attenuate harsh heel strikes and toe-off forces.
Lightweight Solyte Foam: High-resilience midsole material provides springy cushioning without adding bulk.
Torsional Trusstic System: Midfoot shank prevents shoe twisting for grounded, confident movement across urban surfaces.

Sizing & Fit Advice

Fits True to Size (TTS) with a classic retro running fit. Buyers with broad feet (2E) should consider ordering half a size up for optimal forefoot room.

How to Find Your Size (Step-by-Step Guide)

1. Setup: Place a plain sheet of paper on a hard floor, flushed against a flat wall. 2. Position: Stand on the paper with your heel resting gently against the wall (wearing your usual running/athletic socks). 3. Mark: Mark the furthest point of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil. 4. Measure: Measure the distance from the edge of the paper (wall) to your mark in Centimeters (CM).
Recommended Fitting Margin:
Sportstyle / Casual Sneakers: Add +0.5 cm to your measured foot length.
Performance Running Shoes: Add +0.5 cm to +1.0 cm to allow room for natural foot swelling and toe movement during runs.

Asics Signature Fit & Characteristics

Performance Fit Profile: Asics shoes are engineered for a secure, locked-in fit around the heel and midfoot, while providing adequate space in the toe box for impact protection during foot strike.
GEL™ Cushioning & Support: Built with structured arch support and GEL™ technology, performance models may feel slightly snugger out of the box compared to everyday lifestyle sneakers.
