ASICS Men's Gel-Cumulus 23 Trainers

Product Information

You want a budget, lightweight shoe. If weight is your focus, the ASICS Hyper Speed is still budget-minded but almost 2 ounces lighter. Sam: Agree with Derek above on all points. As with the Ride 13 I do think the Cumulus has a slightly softer and more cushioned ride. As an all arounder I lean ever so slightly towards the more responsive, slightly firmer 880. The shoe may not wow you with its performance, or be the envy of onlooking eyes, but it’s consistent in its ride and doesn’t try to be something it’s not. This is a daily trainer without bells and whistles, that works just fine. Who should buy the Gel Cumulus 23

Plenty of forgiving cushion with a smooth geometry for any type of run from slowest to fastish paces SamThe Gel Cumulus fits true to size. It’s not too narrow or too wide. This shoe should accommodate a wide variety of foot shapes easily. Dang, I want to hate the Gel Cumulus, but it’s comfortable

It also doesn’t feel like an exciting shoe. It does however feel well-rounded, well-built, reliable and luxurious.

He has a 2:41 marathon PR. Engineered mesh upper adds strategic support in targeted areas while leaving some of the fibres open to improve breathability. Flytefoam has come a long way. What used to be a really firm, unforgiving foam only suited for fast runs, has now become softer, more lively and more versatile.

These hexagonal shapes in the midsole act like pillars to allow the midsole to compress more in those zones which increases softness.Recently, ASICS has been pushing the boundaries of innovation and has launched some very exciting shoes.
