Who should buy the ASICS Gel Cumulus 17
The ASICS Gel Cumulus 17 is perfect for anyone who looks for a neutral running shoe that is comfortable for their feet, even when worn for the entire day. It’s a great option for runners who want to eliminate foot cramps or knee aches during their regular running sessions.
Updates to the Cumulus 17

- Seamless upper construction and improved sole areas provide a soft sensation and a ton of support for the gait.
- Overlays that give added support and protection.
More flexibility, support, and stability
The outsole of the Cumulus 17 has the ASICS High Abrasion Rubber (AHAR). It provides responsiveness, flexibility, and cushioning while keeping the foot protected from shock and abrasion.
This rubber material ensures that the traction is superb for all types of weather and surface, even on wet grounds during heavy rains.
In the outsole is placed the Guidance Line, which adds even more flexibility, support, and stability.
ASICS Gel Cushioning Technology
The midsole of this shoe features an improved construction. The Gel cushioning technology, which is also used in the Gel Cumulus 20, is combined with the FluidRide cushioning system, which is an evolution in the midsole technology.
It provides not just the adaptability but also the bounce and the softness while keeping the midsole durable even on long and high-mileage runs.
The Fluidride is a combination of the SpEVA and the Super Solyte material. These are both integrated into the IGS system of the midsole, giving runners a new style of running in a more cushioned way.
This system enhances the ASICS Rearfoot and Forefoot Gel Cushioning system.
Seamless Design for Maximum Comfort
The upper of this ASICS running shoe has a seamless construction that comprises the Sandwich Mesh and HotMelt overlays.
This improvement provides added breathability as well as snug fit, support, and protection. The rearfoot upper also has softer materials, providing added comfort.
