Finally looks like a proper workhorse daily trainer. The Cumulus 25 felt like a Nimbus 25 Lite. The 26 seems to have its own identity. Good to see ASICS getting specific. This seems like an equivalent to the Clifton 9. NB with Mach and Nimbus with Bondi.

looks like the Hoka Mach 5

Yeah even Hoka already moved on from no rubber design Mach 6 Even on the "race" oriented rocket X2 and cielo X, rubber coverage is substantial What an interesting time indeed

Looks much better and more nimble. I didn’t like the 25. It sits too squatty and didn’t like the ride of it. It felt too soft as well.

sucks it's a rubberized eva, my mach 5 worn out too soon, even the mach 6 got a rubber outsole.

I’m waiting for the Cumulus 26 to land. I’ve been exclusive Nimbus xx for a long time and I wanted a lighter shoe. Hope this works out for distance work.

Have you tried the MK? I own multiple pairs of the 23mk because I really like the fit

Would you recommend this as a walking, every day gym shoe for someone with 100kg weight and slight supination? Or are there other models you would lean towards? Kind regards and thanks for the reviews.

Could this be the logical follow up of the glideride 3? I love that shoe, RIP 😢

@nate.docsofrunning 5 ай бұрын

Not really -- it's much more flexible and does not operate on the rocker.

Check out the Evoride Speed, it's one of the few shoes that have a similarly aggressive rocker as the Glideride 3. The Evos are not quite as good for long runs but are more versatile in terms of speed. I hope they come out with something like the GR3 though, it was a great shoe.

what is the weight? maybe my marathon shoe... :)

Hi Nate, have you tried the NB more V4?? I suppose you have. Did you experience the same problem with the heel flare as you did with the previous cumulus? Do you think that this kind of flare might be also problematic with people suffering from medial tibial stress syndrome?? Thank you for this video. Keep up the good work???

@nate.docsofrunning 5 ай бұрын

I have ran in NB more V4 but didn't have as much of an issue personally. I think it was because of the higher compliance of the foam and the bevel was a bit more pronounced in the More. If you have a lot of flaring it could certainly contribute to shin pain for the wrong person!

Its absurd the desolefication that brands are doing

@kuriosites 5 ай бұрын

It looks like a totally different shoe. No outsole. Did they change the geometry as well?

@nate.docsofrunning 5 ай бұрын

Front to back, it's about the same. Mild rocker but flexible forefoot. The geometry changes with sole flaring posteriorly and to the sides is definitely different.

I demo tested these at an ASICS social run and I really liked Cumulus 26 more than Nimbus 26 and Novablast 4. Cumulus 26 felt more nimble more versatile on foot. Nimbus 26 felt too much of a shoe and unfortunately Novablast 4 is far away from the bounce I loved with Novablast OG.

A stable Glideride?! 😮

Not really -- much too flexible in the forefoot to be compared to the glideride

Is the foam still as soft? I’m hoping it isn’t.

Yeah the CS25 I had was too soft specifically only after 70km and after 150km ish started to bottom out for run longer than 10k. I am even on the lighter side. Though I live in the hot humid tropics.

Gotta get more runs in to speak much to that. It doesn't feel super "peppy" over 2 runs so far.

No rubber, no deal. This “minimalism” is killing Asics running shoes. We want rubber.

Nah the cumulus is significantly more comfortable

@teguhsuryadi5387 4 ай бұрын

@@apothecy4011 I can only speak from experience having Hoka Bondi X, and yes cumulus 25 is more comfortable. But how comfortable it is is kind of subjective. I feel more comfortable on the older ASICS like GT2000 v3 due to flexible toe, and wider cutting despite both in 4E. And what I heard from review the CS26 is even narrower than 25, and less toe flex. Which Cumulus version are you referring to btw?
