FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for serious running?
While these sneakers incorporate ASICS' running technologies like GEL® and FLUIDRIDE, the ASICS GEL-Cumulus 16 SSCB is primarily designed as a fashion-forward collaboration piece with Cecilie Bahnsen. They offer excellent comfort for daily wear and light athletic activities, but for dedicated, high-mileage running, we recommend consulting ASICS' performance running shoe range.
Are the transparent sections durable?
The NEXKIN Upper and Transparent TPU Overlays are designed for durability in typical wear conditions. However, like any delicate material, they can be susceptible to scratches or tears from sharp objects or excessive abrasion. Following the care instructions for cleaning and storage will help maintain their integrity.
How true to size are these sneakers?
ASICS GEL-Cumulus models are generally known to fit true to size. We recommend purchasing your usual sneaker size. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit or consult ASICS' official sizing guide.
Can I wear these sneakers in the rain?
While the materials offer some protection, these sneakers are not designed to be waterproof due to their breathable NEXKIN upper and construction. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to protect the materials and maintain their aesthetic.
What is the primary material used?
The upper features a combination of NEXKIN and Transparent TPU Overlays, with the primary fabric being Polyester, which contributes to its unique visual texture and lightweight feel. The sole consists of FLUIDRIDE cushioning and a durable rubber outsole.
Troubleshooting
My feet feel uncomfortable or rubbed in specific spots.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks with the transparent upper. If the issue persists, check sizing; ASICS GEL-Cumulus models typically fit true to size, but individual foot shapes vary. Try different lacing techniques to adjust pressure points.
How do I clean the transparent material and floral prints without damaging them?
Use a soft cloth dampened with cool water and a very mild, non-abrasive soap. Gently dab or wipe the affected areas. Avoid harsh brushes or chemical cleaners which can scratch or degrade the transparent TPU and fade the prints. Air dry completely away from direct heat.
The transparent overlays appear scratched or scuffed.
Minor surface scuffs on TPU overlays are often cosmetic. For light scratches, a very small amount of plastic polish designed for clear plastics (e.g., headlight restoration polish) can sometimes improve the appearance, but test on an inconspicuous area first. Prevent future damage by avoiding abrasive surfaces and storing shoes carefully.

Cons
- Specific Aesthetic: The bold transparent and floral design may not appeal to all users or complement all wardrobes.

- Care Requirements: Delicate materials and overlays might require more careful cleaning and maintenance compared to standard athletic shoes.

Care Instructions
To maintain the unique aesthetic and longevity of your ASICS GEL-Cumulus 16 SSCB Sneakers, especially their delicate transparent materials and floral motifs, follow these care guidelines:
- Spot Cleaning: For light dirt, gently wipe the NEXKIN Upper and Transparent TPU Overlays with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh scrubbing, especially on the floral prints.
- Deep Cleaning (if necessary):
- Remove laces and insoles.
- Hand wash the sneakers using cold water and a gentle brush or cloth. Focus on the rubber outsole and more durable sections first.
- Avoid submerging the entire shoe in water for prolonged periods due to the multi-material construction.
- Do not use harsh detergents, bleach, or solvents, as these can damage the materials, transparency, and prints.
- Drying: Air dry your sneakers at room temperature.
- Do not tumble dry.
- Keep them away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources, which can warp materials or fade the floral pattern.
- Stuffing with paper towels can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation and color fading. Keep them in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the delicate overlays, structural integrity, and printed designs.
- Protect from Abrasions: Be mindful of rough surfaces or activities that could scuff or tear the transparent overlays.
By following these steps, you can ensure your sneakers remain in excellent condition and continue to make a stylish statement.
