The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 is an adult male running shoe designed for runners seeking exceptional comfort and impact protection during daily training and long runs. Its primary benefit is providing a soft, cushioned ride that reduces stress on joints, making it ideal for high-mileage runners. While engineered for superior comfort, individual fit and pronation support should always be considered for optimal performance.

The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 excels as a daily trainer, offering a consistently comfortable experience for a wide range of running activities. Its integrated PureGEL technology and FF BLAST PLUS foam work in tandem to absorb impact, making it an excellent choice for long-distance runs, recovery jogs, and general training. Runners will notice a significant reduction in joint stress, allowing for longer, more comfortable sessions.
The FLUIDRIDE outsole contributes to a smooth heel-to-toe transition, promoting a natural and efficient stride. This makes the Gel-Cumulus 27 feel responsive without sacrificing its plush cushioning. It performs best on hard, even surfaces like roads, pavements, and treadmills, where its cushioning properties can be fully leveraged. For example, during a 10k run, you'll feel the consistent support and softness underfoot, helping to mitigate fatigue and keep you comfortable mile after mile. It's a reliable workhorse for accumulating mileage.
Getting started with your ASICS Gel-Cumulus 27 is simple: unbox, lace up, and go! Ensure you lace them properly to secure your foot without creating pressure points. A good lacing technique involves snugging the laces from the bottom upwards, ensuring even tension across the foot.
Runner Type: Best suited for neutral runners who do not require significant motion control.
Terrain: Primarily designed for road running, including pavements, asphalt, and track surfaces.
User: Targeted at adult male runners.
Proper care extends the life of your running shoes:
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush (like an old toothbrush). For stubborn stains, use a mild soap and cold water mixture with a cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not put them in a dryer or expose them to direct heat, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in damp environments, which can lead to odor and material degradation.
Avoid Washing Machine: While some shoes tolerate it, machine washing is generally not recommended as it can compromise cushioning and adhesives.
