We've tested the newer Gel-Cumulus 28 model, and it's not a major update on the 27, so this deal on the older shoe is much better value.View DealGel-Pulse 17 Running Shoes (Women's): was $105 now $89This discount on the Asics Gel-Pulse 17 running shoes brings their price well under $100! They're equipped with a mesh upper for breathability, responsive FF Blast cushioning and shock-absorbing rear gel.View DealGel-K1011 Sneakers (Men's): was $140 now $99An iconic design and reliable comfort, what more could you want from a pair of sneakers?
