GEL-CUMULUS 16 'DESERT ROSE'

Details
Australian sneaker boutique, Finesse, reimagines the GEL-CUMULUS™ 16 sneaker with influences from Sturt's Desert Rose. It's meant to resemble the flower's resilience and ability to thrive in harsh environments.

The former distance trainer is constructed with a beige canvas base that mirrors a hemp-like texture. Its hue resembles the barren nature that the flower grows in while pink logo accents mirror the flower's petals. Additionally, the speed laces make the shoes easier to put on and take off.

The sneaker's soft cushioning properties are left intact. It features dual GEL™ technology inserts and FLUIDRIDE™ technology to help provide a comfortable feel underfoot..
