ASICS Gel-Cumulus 28 Men’s Running Shoes
The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 28 is built for Kiwi runners who want a smooth, responsive ride with reliable comfort mile after mile. Lightweight and breathable, these shoes provide cushioning where it matters most, while advanced outsole technology delivers traction and durability for city streets, tracks, or light trails.
FF BLAST MAX foam gives cloud-like landings and a lively toe-off, while PureGEL technology in the midsole softens impact for a comfortable, springy stride. The engineered mesh upper keeps the shoe lightweight and well-ventilated without unnecessary overlays. Strategic FLUIDRIDE and AHAR LO materials underfoot provide smooth transitions and extra durability in high-wear zones.

Cushioning
-
The material that absorbs the impact against the ground. The more cushioning utilised, the softer a shoe will feel underfoot.
Neutral Support
-
Normal sized Arches.
-
During push off there is an even distribution from the front of the foot.
-
The foot lands on the outside of the heel, then rolls inward to absorb the shock and support body weight.
Drop
-
The difference from the heel of the shoe to the forefoot.
-
Shoes with a higher heel drop tend to be preferred by runners that land heel-first.
-
Shoes with a lower heel drop are often favoured by forefoot or midfoot strikers.
