FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the ASICS GEL-Cumulus 16 SSCB incorporates `GEL` and `FLUIDRIDE` technologies for excellent cushioning, they are primarily designed as a fashion-forward lifestyle shoe resulting from the Cecilie Bahnsen collaboration. For intensive athletic running, we recommend exploring ASICS' dedicated performance running models.
How do I clean the floral patterns and transparent materials without damaging them?
Gently wipe these delicate areas with a soft, damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch or damage the unique details. Always air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is `GEL` Technology in these shoes?
`GEL` Technology is ASICS' signature cushioning system. In these shoes, it refers to silicone-based gel inserts strategically placed in the midsole to absorb shock, providing superior comfort and a smoother ride during walking and daily activities.
Is the sizing true to standard ASICS sizing?
Generally, ASICS shoes are known for consistent sizing. However, fit can vary slightly between models and individuals. It's recommended to consult ASICS' official size guide and consider your usual ASICS size, or try them on if possible, to ensure the best fit.
What makes the Cecilie Bahnsen collaboration unique for these shoes?
This collaboration uniquely blends ASICS' athletic functionality with Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen's poetic and refined aesthetic. It transforms the classic GEL-Cumulus 16 into a work of art, featuring delicate details like floral patterns, transparent materials, and a sophisticated color palette, creating a distinctive blend of sport and high fashion.
Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?
The synthetic materials offer some water resistance, but these shoes are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided to preserve their appearance and integrity. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry fully and naturally.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable despite correct sizing.
Ensure laces are not tied too tightly; try loosening them or adjusting the lacing pattern to relieve pressure points. Allow for a short break-in period, as synthetic materials can soften slightly with wear. If discomfort persists, re-evaluate sizing.
Dirt or stains on the transparent `TPU` overlays or floral patterns.
Gently clean these delicate areas with a soft, damp cloth and a very small amount of mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners which can scratch the surface or damage the printed patterns. For tougher spots, a sneaker-specific cleaner for synthetics can be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes develop an odor after wear.
Allow shoes to air out properly after each use. Remove insoles if possible and air them separately. For persistent odors, use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb smells. Ensure socks are worn and changed regularly.
Sole appears to be wearing down quickly.
The rubber outsole is designed for durability under normal wear. Excessive or uneven wear might indicate your gait pattern, or that the shoes are being used for activities beyond their intended lifestyle purpose (e.g., intensive sports). Regular inspection and proper care can help maximize sole life.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and preserve the unique aesthetic of your sneakers.
- General Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to wipe the synthetic upper. For more stubborn stains, mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with water and gently scrub the affected area.
- Delicate Areas: Pay extra attention to the floral patterns and transparent `TPU` overlays. Use a very soft cloth or sponge and avoid abrasive materials that could scratch or damage these details.
- `NEXKIN` Upper: Gently wipe the transparent `NEXKIN` material with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh rubbing.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or hair dryers). Stuffing the shoes with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your sneakers, as this can damage materials, adhesives, and the structural integrity of the shoe.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct light. If storing for a long period, consider using shoe trees or stuffing with paper to help retain their original shape.
