ASICS Gel-Cumulus 23 MK Women's Running Shoes

The GEL-Cumulus 23 MK running shoe helps you focus on the distance ahead as you move towards your personal best. It's a high-mileage trainer that's designed to make your stride smoother and your mood brighter.

Mono-Sock Upper

Providing you with enhanced levels of breathability and comfort, the Gel-Cumulus 23 has a Mono-Sock upper to keep you focused on the race ahead. This excellent upper construction wraps around your foot, providing you with a sock-like fit and feel, for flexibility and freedom of movement. Due to being uniquely thin, the materials will also allow a steady flow of air in and out, which will provide constant breathability and ventilation to keep you going for longer in comfort. The no-sew construction of the upper will also encourage targeted airflow, whilst it will also remove the risk of irritations being caused by rubbing and chafing. Completing the upper is a traditional lace-up construction, allowing you to keep your foot locked down and secure inside the shoes.

FlyteFoam Midsole

To improve cushioning and flexibility, ASICS has added a FlyteFoam cushioning to the midsole which creates a lightweight impact absorption zone and a responsive energy return. A 3D Space Construction has been implemented to the top layer of the midsole. This technology is implemented through a series of strategically planted pillars within the midsole, allowing runners to experience more compression in a specific area without reducing durability or stability. These pillar formations are tuned differently in the men's and women's models to address each gender's biomechanical data. By helping runners appropriately compress the foam during the landing phase of their stride, this shoe promotes a smoother ride and improves shock absorption. Flytefoam helps create a smoother and more supportive ride, providing further cushioning and springy rebounds. This is done by utilising the force from your last step to power you into your next one, so you can go further than ever before. Gel-Technology also resides in the midsole to provide excellent shock absorption.

ASICS Lite Rubber Outsole

Supreme grip and traction are guaranteed with the ASICS Lite Rubber Outsole. ASICS' lightweight, high-abrasion rubber is a tough rubber compound used in heavy-contact or high-wear areas which helps to cut down on excessive wear. 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. AHARPLUS rubber has been strategically placed in the heel to improve durability. Flex grooves also adorn the outsole to provide added traction underfoot, the grooves allow for natural foot flexion for easy, unhindered paces. An impact guidance system exists underfoot to enhance the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off. The guidance line exists to enhance gait efficiency while increasing the shoe's torsional rigidity to prevent it from twisting. Lastly, deep flex grooves create smoother transitions through the gait cycle.
