Product Information

Full details

The key benefit is its unconventional pulley lacing system, offering a secure and adjustable fit with a futuristic aesthetic.

FAQs

How does the pulley lacing system work?

The system uses a cord that runs through eyelets, controlled by a toggle. Pulling the toggle tightens the cord for a secure fit, and releasing it loosens the shoe. It's designed for quick, one-handed adjustments.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The ASICS x TOGA Gel-Cumulus 16 TG are primarily designed as lifestyle or fashion trainers. While they are built on a cushioned running shoe platform (Gel-Cumulus 16), they are best suited for casual wear, walking, and light activities rather than high-impact running.

What does 'TG' stand for in the product name?

The 'TG' in Gel-Cumulus 16 TG typically refers to the collaboration with the brand TOGA, indicating a special edition or designer collaboration.

How do I clean the different materials (mesh, suede, nubuck)?

Use a soft brush for dry dirt on all materials. For mesh, a damp cloth works well. Suede and nubuck require specialized brushes and cleaners to avoid damage. Always test cleaning products on a small, hidden area first and allow the shoes to air dry.

Can I replace the pulley cord if it breaks?

While not always easily replaceable by the end-user, replacement parts or repair services might be available through ASICS or specialized shoe repair shops. Contact ASICS customer support for potential solutions.

What is the main difference between this and a standard Gel-Cumulus 16?

The primary differences are the collaboration with TOGA, featuring unique design elements like the pulley lacing system, decorative external laces, and a distinctive material mix and colorways, compared to the standard ASICS Gel-Cumulus 16 which has traditional laces and a more conventional aesthetic.

Are these trainers waterproof?

No, these trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They feature mesh, suede, and nubuck materials which are not inherently waterproof and can be damaged by excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

Pulley lacing system feels stiff or difficult to adjust.

Ensure there is no debris caught in the pulley mechanism. Try gently wiggling the toggle or cord while adjusting. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Trainer feels too tight or too loose after adjustment.

Readjust the pulley system, ensuring the toggle is pulled to the desired tension. Experiment with different levels of tightness to find your optimal fit. The system is designed for micro-adjustments.

Suede or nubuck material shows scuffs or marks.

Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove dry marks. For more stubborn stains, consult specific suede/nubuck cleaning guides and products, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Mesh material appears dirty.

Gently wipe the mesh with a damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a soft brush with a small amount of mild soap and water, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. The primary setup involves adjusting the pulley lacing system to your preferred tightness.

  1. Loosen the Laces: Pull the tab on the pulley system upwards or away from the shoe to release tension.
  2. Insert Foot: Slide your foot into the trainer.
  3. Tighten Laces: Pull the toggle of the pulley system downwards until the shoe feels snug and secure.
  4. Secure Toggle: Tuck the toggle into its designated holder or elastic loop to prevent it from loosening.

Compatibility:

  • Sizing: Available in various UK adult foot sizes. It is recommended to consult a sizing chart for the best fit, especially considering the unique lacing can provide a customizable snugness.
  • Foot Type: The Gel-Cumulus 16 platform generally suits neutral pronation.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used on the mesh, suede, and nubuck sections. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally away from direct heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
  • Lacing System: Periodically check the pulley mechanism for debris that might affect its smooth operation. A gentle wipe with a dry cloth should suffice.
