ASICS Men's Gel-Cumulus 23 Trainers

Product Information

In 2020, they launched their first running shoe collection made from 100% recycled polyester fibers (PET bottles). Sam: We have compared in some detail in the review but to summarize the Cumulus 23 is softer and more cushioned (1mm more stack, outsole design, 3D Pillars) losing a bit of the response of the 22 in the process for uptempo. It is a bit lighter than the more plush Gel Nimbus 23, but tips the scales over the lighter and more modern Gel Nimbus Lite 2.

While the Nike Pegasus, New Balance 880, Saucony Ride and Hoka Clifton receive upper-only updates every other year, you can expect the Cumulus to get a brand new upper, midsole and outsole every year.Measure this with a ruler or tape measure the distances between the two points that are furthest apart in [cm/in] (see Figure - vertical line). And, if you are planning on increasing your run-time, the highly resistant rubber compound reduces wear at key impact areas of the outsole. There is plenty of segmentation of the forefoot blown rubber and that works with the midsole to achieve the excellent forefoot flexibility of the shoe. This allows runners to experience more compression in a specific area, without reducing durability or stability. Under the heel where the foot first hits the ground has been redesigned to isolate impact while the new heel design's deeper forefoot flex grooves and softer midsole foam create a smoother ride.

Towards the rear, you get a traditional rigid internal heel counter sandwiched in ample padding that runs around the heel and ankle. A hard-wearing AHAR rubber outsole compound has been placed in key contact areas to help the GEL-CUMULUS 23 shoe stand up to a ton miles. Granted, I did take it out in some 30-degree weather and we all know that EVA plays possum in those conditions, so I’ll leave some of the blame there. With the 1mm of additional Flytefoam also in the mix this is clearly a more cushioned softer feeling Cumulus placing it closer to the NImbus Lite 2than before.Let our running experts keep you updated We´ll keep you updated on all our latest releases and offers. From time to time carriers may deliver earlier or later, or on non working days however this is cannot be guaranteed nor should it be expected.
