GEL-CUMULUS 24 EKIDEN
The GEL-CUMULUS™ 24 EKIDEN shoe is a versatile everyday trainer for various runners covering different distances. From the upper to the foam underfoot, this shoe feels softer and more responsive. The shoe's colorway draws inspiration from an Ekiden relay race. Key design elements include a sash detail on the side and a series of katakana characters. To improve comfort, the upper features an improved heel fit. Meanwhile, the engineered mesh improves breathability to keep your feet cool throughout your run. This smooth distance trainer is also updated with our FLYTEFOAM™ BLAST cushioning. It keeps the shoe lightweight while creating a softer touchdown and a more energized toe-off.
