ASICS is set to expand its retro running roster with three new, earth-toned iterations of the GEL-CUMULUS 16: “Mocha/Burnt Umber,” “Pink Sand/Coconut” and “Burnt Umber/Pink Sand.”

The silhouette keeps its original layered construction, spanning an open-cell mesh base covered with glossy synthetic overlays and no-sew panels. The cushioning setup that earned the model its reputation remains in place. GEL units sit in both the forefoot and heel, paired with a FLUIDRIDE midsole and FLYTEFOAM for a soft, smooth ride over long distances. The midsole is chunky and sculpted, with segmented pods running along the outsole edge and a two-tone layered design that adds depth to each colorway.

“Mocha/Burnt Umber” features a chocolate-brown mesh with glossy brown overlays, burnt umber ASICS stripes outlined in pale pink, and a cream-and-pink midsole on a pink outsole. Meanwhile, “Pink Sand/Coconut” is the softest of the three, combining pale pink mesh with cream overlays, ASICS stripes outlined in dark brown, a rose-toned midsole band and a dark outsole. As for “Burnt Umber/Pink Sand,” it goes bold with rust-red mesh, pale pink stripes and a pale pink midsole over a cream base.

Branding follows the original design: a “GEL-CUMULUS 16” wordmark sits on the upper overlay near the collar, and the ASICS logo appears on the heel and the footbed. Each pair is styled with two contrasting sets of laces threaded together, in burnt umber and pale pink, burnt umber and dark brown, and pale pink and cream, adding to the playful, layered look.
