What’s familiar this year:
Fans of previous GEL-CUMULUS® shoe iterations will recognize these key features:
- Rearfoot PureGEL™ technology for soft landings

What’s new this year:
As always, we implemented our philosophy of kaizen (“continuous improvement”) to make the GEL-CUMULUS® 27 shoe the best version yet:
- A new engineered mesh upper delivers a unique balance of comfort, breathability, and an adaptive fit
- A new knit heel pull tab provides a more comfortable and convenient on/off experience
