The specs

Category: Neutral
Weight: 266 g (9.38 oz)
Drop: 8 mm
Stack height (forefoot to heel): 29.5 mm to 37.5 mm
Release date: April 2023

All-new midsole

The new Gel-Cumulus 25 has transitioned its midsole from FF Blast to FF Blast+ foam (EVA/Olefin) and included new infused PureGEL technology—the brand’s lightest and softest gel technology to date, helping absorb the impact of every stride and contributing to a more comfortable running experience.

In addition to the change in foam, the midsole stack height has been increased by 2 mm for enhanced cushioning and to widen the base for added stability. The upper is an engineered jacquard mesh upper, while the outsole uses Asics AHAR-Lo and AHAR-Plus rubber to provide grip and durability.

An A+ in sustainability

When the brand designed the upper for the Cumulus 25, they wanted to ensure sustainability would be at the forefront of their design. The upper is made with more than 90 per cent recycled polyester materials, which limits the brand’s carbon footprint.

Your versatile trainer

If you are looking for a running shoe that you can do a bit of everything in, the Asics Gel-Cumulus 25 is a perfect everyday trainer for short runs, long runs and everything in between.

The addition of the softer FF Blast+ foam will help you to keep going farther and stay free from injury. If you are putting in two to four runs a week and are looking for an affordable and versatile trainer, don’t look past the Gel-Cumulus 25, coming to Canada in April 2023.
