ASICS is stepping into a new era with The Signature Series — a fresh concept spotlighting their most iconic silhouettes, reimagined through bold design and powerful storytelling. Leading the charge is a stunning debut collab with acclaimed Danish designer Cecilie Bahnsen, bringing her couture-meets-streetwear style to the timeless GEL-CUMULUS™ 16.
This isn’t just a sneaker drop — it’s a statement. Originally launched in 2014, the GEL-CUMULUS™ 16 returns in full form with its authentic upper and high-performance sole, now updated with an elegant twist that blends heritage tech with high fashion. Bahnsen brings her signature “Everyday Couture” vibe to three dreamy colourways featuring floral-printed uppers, sheer mesh layering, and custom flower lace toggles — all designed with “her” in mind.
“We wanted to explore the contrast between softness and structure,” says Bahnsen. “It’s about finding beauty in subtle details — layering, texture, light, and shadow.”
Backed by ASICS’ Sound Mind, Sound Body philosophy, the Signature Series is all about merging creative energy with movement and self-expression. This collab captures that perfectly — a sneaker designed for All Day, Every Day wear, whether you’re hitting the streets or the studio.
Under the hood, you’ve got the tech to back it up: rearfoot and forefoot GEL™ cushioning, FLYTEFOAM™ PROPEL midsoles, and a TRUSSTIC™ support unit for lightweight stability. It’s the kind of sneaker you’ll wear nonstop — and actually want to.
The Cecilie Bahnsen x ASICS GEL-CUMULUS™ 16 SSCB drops globally on Friday, June 27 at select retailers and online at ASICS.com. Available in three elegant colourways, priced at $270 AUD. Sign up to our newsletter for the latest updates and exclusive drops. For other SNEAKER features, click here.
