CARNAN x GEL-CUMULUS 16

The collaboration between CARNAN and ASICS reflects a process of mutual trust and shared growth. It represents the idea of cultivating something valuable, where a strong foundation is provided, but true flourishing comes through care, dedication, and trust between both parties.

The design of the Path II carries this journey of evolution through its shapes and colors. Purple, now more prominently featured, symbolizes the full blossoming of the partnership, in alignment with CARNAN’s identity. It has been one of the brand’s most important colors since its creation and represents CARNAN’s creative DNA. Green reflects continuous growth, reminding us that evolution is always in motion, while the green insole with a brown print connects the product to its origins and roots. The black base, which remains unchanged from the first model, conveys a sense of continuity and stability - as if everything above it transforms and evolves upon the same solid foundation. Like a plant that grows over time, the collaboration between CARNAN and ASICS continues to blossom and grow stronger with every step, reflecting the trust and dedication shared by both parties.

Originally launched in 2014, the GEL-CUMULUS™ 16 became known for its smooth cushioning during long-distance runs. The upper features a combination of suede overlays, panels, and open-mesh layers. This combination of materials creates a unique aesthetic that reflects the collaboration. While maintaining its cushioning properties, the model features a dual GEL™ technology insertion, FLUIDRIDE™ technology, and FLYTEFOAM™ technology, providing a comfortable underfoot feel
