The Griff x ASICS GEL-Cumulus 16 collaboration is releasing June 12, 2026 through ASICS.com and select retailers worldwide.
The pair keeps the GEL-Cumulus 16 in familiar territory as a mid-2000s ASICS runner, but the styling does most of the work here. Dark grey mesh sits beneath glossy black overlays across the toe, side panels, and heel, giving the shoe a more dressed-up look than a standard retro runner. The white laces and soft white tongue break up the darker build without changing the overall mood.
The Griff touch comes through the ruffled trim around the tongue and heel. It is not a loud detail, but it changes the feel of the shoe fast, adding a softer edge to a silhouette built around layered panels, GEL cushioning, and a chunky tech-runner sole.
Black continues through the midsole and outsole, with metallic silver accents showing up underfoot. ASICS branding appears on the tongue and insole, while GEL-Cumulus 16 text sits on the lateral side panel.
The Griff x ASICS GEL-Cumulus 16 lands in a space ASICS has been leaning into well: archival running shoes with enough design detail to work outside their original performance lane.
