FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for serious running?

While the GEL-Cumulus series has a running heritage, the ASICS GEL-Cumulus 16 SSCB sneakers, with their unique design elements and delicate materials, are best suited for everyday wear, casual outings, and light activities like walking or light gym use. For dedicated, high-performance running, ASICS offers other specialized models.

How do I clean the floral print and transparent parts?

Use a soft cloth or sponge with a small amount of mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently wipe the NEXKIN upper and transparent TPU overlays. Avoid harsh scrubbing, abrasive cleaners, or stiff brushes, as these could damage the print or materials. Air dry completely away from direct heat.

What is FLUIDRIDE Technology?

FLUIDRIDE is ASICS' midsole technology that provides a combination of cushioning and bounce-back properties. It's designed to offer durable comfort and a responsive underfoot feel, enhancing the overall walking and wearing experience.

Is the sizing standard?

ASICS sizing is generally consistent. This pair is UK 12. We recommend referring to the ASICS size chart if you are unsure or trying them on to ensure the best fit. Always account for the socks you typically wear.

Can these shoes be worn in wet conditions?

The NEXKIN upper and TPU overlays offer some resistance, but these sneakers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions may damage the materials and affect the shoe's longevity. It's best to avoid very wet environments.

What does SSCB stand for?

SSCB refers to the 'Signature Series Cecilie Bahnsen' collaboration, indicating that these sneakers are part of a special collection designed in partnership with fashion designer Cecilie Bahnsen.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose

Ensure you've selected the correct UK size (this pair is UK 12). Try adjusting the lacing pattern to either loosen or tighten the fit across the midfoot. Consider wearing thinner or thicker socks.

Floral print or transparent overlays appear dull or dirty

Gently clean the affected areas with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could scratch the TPU or wear down the print. Air dry thoroughly.

Squeaking sound when walking

Squeaking can sometimes come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, cleaning the inside of the shoe, and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder underneath the insole before replacing it.

Uncomfortable pressure points

Ensure your socks are smooth and not bunched. Check for any debris inside the shoe. If discomfort persists, consider trying an alternative lacing technique or consulting with a foot expert, as shoe fit can be highly individual.

Pros - Exceptional Cushioning: GEL® Technology and FLUIDRIDE provide high comfort for extended wear. - Unique Aesthetic: Cecilie Bahnsen's design offers a distinct, fashion-forward look blending athletic and delicate elements. - Versatile Style: Can transition from casual wear to specific light athletic activities due to its unique design. - Durable Construction: Quality materials and rubber outsole ensure long-lasting use. - Breathable Upper: NEXKIN upper likely contributes to good air circulation. ### Cons - Specialized Design: The strong aesthetic might not appeal to all users looking for a purely minimalist or traditional athletic shoe. - Potentially Higher Maintenance: Transparent and delicate materials might require more careful cleaning to maintain their appearance. - Not a Dedicated Performance Shoe: While comfortable, the design emphasis might shift focus from hardcore athletic performance to style.

Setup Using your ASICS GEL-Cumulus 16 SSCB sneakers is straightforward: 1. Lacing: Ensure laces are threaded evenly and securely through all eyelets. 2. Fit Check: Put on the shoes with the type of socks you typically wear. There should be about a thumb's width space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure, and the midfoot snug but not tight. 3. Break-In Period: While often comfortable from day one, allow a short break-in period (a few wears) to fully conform to your foot's shape. ### Compatibility - Foot Type: The GEL-Cumulus series is generally designed for neutral pronators, offering balanced cushioning without excessive motion control. If you have specific pronation needs, consult a specialist. - Activity Type: Best suited for casual wear, daily walking, and light athletic activities. While they contain running tech, their design makes them less ideal for rigorous, high-mileage running compared to dedicated performance models. - Socks: Wear moisture-wicking athletic socks for optimal comfort and to prevent blisters. ### Care To maintain the unique aesthetic and longevity of your GEL-Cumulus 16 SSCB sneakers: - General Cleaning: 1. Remove loose dirt with a soft brush (e.g., an old toothbrush). 2. Mix a small amount of mild soap (like dish soap) with lukewarm water. 3. Gently scrub the NEXKIN Upper and Transparent TPU Overlays with a soft cloth or sponge dipped in the soapy water. Avoid harsh scrubbing to protect the floral print and transparent layers. 4. Wipe clean with a damp, clean cloth to remove soap residue. 5. For the Rubber Outsole, a firmer brush can be used. - Drying: Air dry your sneakers at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources (like radiators or dryers) as this can damage materials, particularly the TPU overlays and adhesives. - Stain Removal: For tough stains, use a sneaker-specific cleaner designed for synthetic materials. Test on an inconspicuous area first. - Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape. - Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the delicate materials and floral print.
