FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for serious running?

The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 16 SSCB trainers are designed for a blend of performance and style, suitable for light to moderate running, gym workouts, and daily wear. For serious or competitive runners, more specialized ASICS running models might offer tailored performance features.

How do I clean the floral pattern and transparent parts?

Refer to the care label for specific instructions. Generally, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe down the NEXKIN upper and transparent TPU overlays. Avoid harsh scrubbing or chemical cleaners that could damage the delicate patterns or materials.

Can I remove the flower lace toggle?

The flower lace toggle is a distinctive design element. While it may be possible to remove, it is part of the integrated design by Cecilie Bahnsen. Removing it might alter the intended aesthetic and functionality of the drawstring fastening.

What kind of support do these trainers offer?

These trainers feature ASICS' GEL technology in the rearfoot and forefoot for excellent shock absorption and FLUIDRIDE technology for plush cushioning. This combination provides responsive comfort and smooth transitions, making them supportive for various activities.

Is the sizing consistent with other ASICS models?

ASICS generally aims for consistent sizing across its models. However, fit can vary slightly due to different last shapes and upper materials. It's always recommended to consult ASICS' official size guide or try them on if possible, especially when comparing to older models.

Are these trainers unisex?

While the specific product variant is listed for 'Female,' the collaboration often aims for a unisex aesthetic, and other variants of the ASICS Gel-Cumulus 16 SSCB are listed as 'Unisex' or 'Male.' They are designed to be appreciated by anyone who values their unique blend of style and comfort.

What is NEXKIN upper material?

NEXKIN is a specialized material used in the upper construction of these trainers, contributing to their lightweight feel, breathability, and the distinct visual effect achieved through its transparency and texture, particularly when combined with the floral motifs and TPU overlays.

Troubleshooting

Trainers feel too loose or too tight

Adjust the drawstring fastening. Ensure the flower lace toggle is positioned to secure the laces without causing pressure points. Try different lacing techniques if needed.

Squeaking sound while walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's base. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of talcum powder underneath the insole.

Floral pattern or transparent overlays appear dull

Clean the upper gently with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove any accumulated dirt or grime that might be obscuring the design's clarity. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Persistent odor

Remove insoles and air them out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes when not in use. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storage.

Slight discomfort during long wear

Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's width or arch support aligns with your foot type. While these trainers offer good cushioning, individual foot biomechanics vary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Getting started with your ASICS Gel-Cumulus 16 SSCB trainers is straightforward:

  1. Unboxing: Remove trainers from packaging.
  2. Lacing: Utilize the drawstring fastening to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. Adjust the flower lace toggle as desired for both aesthetics and security.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for:

  • Adults: Suitable for adult users across various foot sizes.
  • Gender: While the specific product variant is listed for "Female," the collaboration's design philosophy often aims for a blend of feminine and masculine aesthetics, and other variants are listed as "Unisex" or "Male." They are generally versatile for anyone appreciating the design.
  • Activity Level: Best for light to moderate athletic activities and daily casual wear.

Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your ASICS Gel-Cumulus 16 SSCB trainers:

  • Cleaning: Refer to the care label inside the shoe for specific cleaning instructions. Generally, use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently clean the upper and outsole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, which can damage materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve material integrity and color.
  • Specific Materials: The NEXKIN upper and transparent TPU overlays may require delicate handling. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods that could scratch or damage these surfaces.
