Mike, I received the ASICS Nimbus Lite 3 that I won at the Kofuzi Run Club LA. I can’t wait to try them out. Thanks again to you and ASICS for the best shakeout run ever!
Last year I got Novablast 2 and Cumulus 23 from Asics. Surprisingly I’d love my Cumulus 23 more, it is squishy, light, fast, and also durable. The shoe comparison helped me to pick the shoe that I want this year, thank you.
There are many Reviewers on RUclips, but yours is the most practical. Your English is clear and concise, your opinions are to the point and you obviously don't stay up all night in search of a gimmick. Perfect, well done, thanks.
I love Cumulus. I used Cumulus 21 and now Cumulus 22 are in my shoe rotation. I am waiting for Cumulus 23 on sale. Cumulus is very robust , and multi purpose . Love it .
This is an example of the natural progression that Shoe manufacturers need to do to stabilize many of the super squishy shoes they have been putting out for the last 2-3 years. Basically creating a new category of shoe: Neutral with stability aspects. Funny enough, squishy shoes with full plates have been really good for my foot strike. Whereas shoes like the Novablast V1 and Rebel V2 were just too squishy without the plate, so it resulted in too much crashing in on the medial side. I recently went with the Mizuno WaveRider 25, and so far the wave plate has been working really well for me personally.
information overload. More than 2 minutes has gone before Mr K starts talking about Cumulus. Like many of you here, I appreciate it as well. And last but not least, Kofuzi shows us what happiness is at the end of the video >> his "nowhere to hide smile" at 14:04 teaches me running with your loved one could be the meaning of life. As for the asics itself, cumulus & nimbus will always reminds me " It's a Big World, Go Run It " .
The cumulus is a great running shoe. Great stability, can be bought for a reasonable price and gets the job done. I have Cumulus, Nimbus and Novablast 2 in my collection. I find I run well with them and always feel very comfortable on long runs. Not the fastest no but I’d rather be a bit slower and injury free than punishing my body.
Just bought these at my local running store about 2 weeks ago to replace my Clifton 8s which are beat up after the winter. Really enjoying them so far. Also, just discovered the channel. Looks like we live very near each other. Didn't realize our area looked so nice until your videos haha
Well done with the new disclaimer. We talk a lot about unconscious bias in my industry and the new disclaimer tackles that perfectly. Keep up the great work.
Howdy Mike, I’m recovering from a pelvic/ sacrum injury, and ASICS shoes have made an incredible difference with stabilizing my ability to walk again. Shoes are super important for the whole body. Especially, low back, pelvis, legs, knees, and feet. ✌🏽 peace. ( I’m using nimbus 23. But I’m upgrading to either a nimbus 24, or cumulus 24 shoe.)
I would love to see your evaluation of Brazilian Brand Olympikus! They have just released 3 new ones, "Corre2", "Corre Vento" and "Corre Grafeno". The same for the Brazilian Fila shoes, like "KR5", "Racer Grid" and "Racer Carbon". Think about it! You do have great videos!
If only traffic hadn’t been super bad in LA, I could have run in one of those ASICS shoes ☹️. But I’ve been liking my EvoRide and novablast on my runs. Great shoes and great reviews Ko 👍🏼
That flyte foam is amazing. After battling a couple foot issues, I bought the Kayano 28 and figured out I need a stability shoe, even though I have a neutral foot. The update they made to the trusstic system is great and I’m really enjoying it.
@@LilyW-in7ou I’m currently using the Kayano 28 only. This is my first marathon after a year of getting used to running, so in the grand scheme of time, it’s still fairly new to me. I have a pair of Altra Escalante Racers that are nice for a quick run, but that zero drop feel is really hard on your muscles and tendons over longer distances. My Achilles was quite agitated the first time I used them.
I like the takes on the shoes, your not caught up in bogus out of 10s just state the advantages and disadvantages and your experience and let us think for ourselves if it's a product we would consider.
Excellent review and the comparisons are particularly appreciated. You described the differences so clearly; these product lines can be so confusing. The only element for women to consider are the excessively high drops in women’s versions of some of these--I believe the Nimbus (and some of their other models not mentioned here) has been and continues to be 13-14 mm, whereas the Cumulus 24 will be 8 mm if I’m not mistaken. So if we women are interested in the Nimbus we might consider trying the men’s version if the last suits our feet. I’m thinking the Cumulus is more “my kind of shoe” anyway, though.
I’ll double check, but I think the Cumulus is still going to be a 10mm drop for women. But I think there will be other women specific features* that may cause some women to still prefer the women’s version over the men’s. *I will check for what specifically the women’s models features are
Thankyou for this video man ! I was looking for the difference between cumulus 24 nd nimbus 24 . Once again thanks for the review. Good luck . Cheers 🥂
This was the first show I ever raced in... believe it or not. I am curious about your review. haha. I am posting this without even watching. I am on it now!
I’ve been running in the ASICS Nimbus for over a decade. I stumbled across the Cumulus 22s A couple years ago and found them to be a great alternative to the Nimbus. They felt light, yet supportive and quick. They offer good lateral support and I didn’t have to keep adjusting the laces in time and really tight like I do with the Nimbus to get more stability. I am thinking about ordering the Cumulus 24s and wonder how they compare to the 22s. 🏃♀
Ran in both the cumulus 24 and novablast 2 The cumulus has flight foam plus mid foam that is new compared to the novablast 2 with flight foam The new foam is the cumulus is supposed to be lighter, bouncier, and more cushioned than the old The novablast 3 will have the new foam That said, in running on both, neither feels like a heavy shoe. The cumulus ride is a bit more stable and cushioned and sorta like the Clifton. The novablast is less isolated in terms of road feel than the cumulus, less cushioned but still good, and has more spring in mg opinion So, for me, if you want a shoe a little more road isolation a little mild stability and pillow cushion vs spring get the cumulus 24 Have over 300 plus in the novablast and over 200 in the cumulus 24 I like both and use both shoes in my daily training
Thanks Per believe in the run, the nimbus 24 is the “the first ascis shoe to have flight foam blast plus,”. The novablast has flight foam blast and not flight foam plus. Flight foam blast plus is the next generation wiith ASICS saying that it is supposed to be 15% bouncier and reactive than flight foam blast.
Yo! What's going on Ko?! Interesting and promising review of a shoe I probably wouldn't have given a second look at this point in time. It does seem the ASICS daily trainer line-up is getting a bit crowded though. Interested to know which of the current models, if any, you think could be culled (or perhaps "merged" with another)?
My first experience with Cumulus was with version 15 (yeah, has been a while) and had a very pleasant feeling with how the foam felt, even though the upper mesh last not as i expected. This new improved version with FF Blast looks really good.
Thanks for the initial review of this shoe. I've wanted the Cumulus since the 22 but haven't pulled the trigger for various reasons but this should be the year. How would you say it compares to the Pegasus 36? Edit: Disregard. Got the Cumulus 24s in earlier this week and they are much different than the Peg 36. Not as light but way more cushioning. Definitely loving them so far!
something I decided to edit out of the video was my feeling that, for those runnings who may be bigger or taller than me, you may be bottoming out on the novablast 2. the cumulus may be the shoe to try. and much later this year, we should be seeing some very interesting changes to the glideride that may appeal to you
@@kofuzi FWIW, some of us would appreciate your thoughts for heavier runners more frequently in your reviews. Just helps us triangulate how our Clydesdale hooves will feel in various shoes. 👍
I definitely thought that my Novablast 1 benefitted from putting in some miles on the ffblast. I am about 180lbs and those shoes were hard to use for slow running until that "breaking in".
Will asics ever remove the gel from the cumulus/nimbus/kayano line-up? I feel as there is no point in having gel in the shoes now with the new foam they are developing, plus it would shave some weight off of all of the models.
Honestly I don’t think they will. They have been reducing the amount of gel in each model as every year passes but I don’t think they will ever remove it completely. Think they want to keep all their old school fans around which is why they keep gel in their legacy shoes but they give us new school people the more exciting shoes like Novablast & Magic Speed
Hi, thanks for the great video! Comparing the Cumulus 24 to the Nimbus 24, which one of the two is better suited for long runs? Can they both do the job? Thanks!!

@@kofuzi thanks for your guidance... i’ve the perception that cumulus is better with its softer midsole, there must be some good reasons for your preference
I like that grey look.The Noosa looks cool too but those other blue ones look the ugliest of all running shoes.Neutral grey should be more available throughout the range is what I am getting at.
I love a grey shoe until I put it on my feet. they just never look good on me, no matter the brand or model ASICS blues always look underwhelming on camera but are better irl
Thank you Kofuzi. Im not trying to be rude. High heel to toe ratio causes a lot strees on my feet. Pressure on my toes and knee? I like to pull and push from my forefoot n ball not my toes. The new nike pegasus insole felt squishy. I need feel and grip. But i like the mizuno insole. I heard multi parts of a shoe can feel clunky. My nike glide eventually did. Does all high stack shoes feel a little more off balance than regular? Depending on foam width design? So if you jog or if you run a marathon or run sprints then? Thanks. Righteousness. Cocoon. Unknown.
I'm really confused by your comment. you say you don't like high heel drop, but you like mizuno? but mizuno have the highest heel drops. I will say that all foams are not created equal. it's becoming harder and harder (if not impossible) to compare or contrast shoes based on heel drop numbers alone. but overall, I don't understand what you're asking.
pls advise me which shoe to buy... looking for occasional.. sprinting in concrete..and lots of walking..I come from a history of pegasus and Adidas foam..will asics be good
If I have to buy a pair of shoes for mid-long runs from asics up to $150, what would be your suggestion? I have had novabkast 2,but I got holes on top of my big toes after 200miles. Luckily they are still under warranty and I have a voucher of $150 to order new shoes.
I'm still struggling with the whole 10mm drop on the Nimbus Lite 2, although solid month of strength training seems to have helped diminish my Achilles issues I was having. Wondering if the ride series would be better.
I don't think you can go wrong with either the Ghost or the Cumulus but I prefer the Cumulus because of the lower heel-to-toe offset. In fairness I have the Adrenaline which is the stability version of the Ghost and they're really good just...boring and kinda clunky for me. Not that the Cumulus is exciting but they feel a bit squishier. But I still run in both and they're both good to go.
Please help me, I’m doing marathon New York and I like ascis, I have now meta speed and novablast 3, and I feel I need 1 more shoes, which model good to support speed work out and daily run?
I'd defer to whichever you have a strong preference towards. that being said, I don't believe I ran in either the Nimbus or Cumulus 23. I did run in the Nimbus 22, so I would lean towards the Nimbus for you.
I don’t know how to measure a foot for shoes. I got mine measured at a running store and have used that resulting size US Mens 9 for the vast majority of my running shoes
Whats the best assics just for dauly use and walk. I have bad heal spurs , doc said no more nikes and get some assics. Im not a runner i just walk around
My usual morning runs are around 5'30/km pace, while my avg cadence is at 189spm...is there something wrong which I'm not aware of? If I would like to achieve 4'45/km, doesnt that increase my cadence to 200spm+++ which is kinda high ? Kinda need help here ,thanks Currently 6 months into running
I don't have a lot of experience tinkering with cadence, but I'm not sure that's how it works. the way to get your regular runs to be at a faster pace is to make each step more potent. run more miles and more often (and likely, run a bit slower on your regular days). you will become more efficient. on the flip side, don't go and try to get faster by artificially trying to increase stride length. also, 189 is a high number. without context of your height or being able to see your gait, it would seem to me that you are running pretty hard for your "usual morning runs". that's not how a lot of experienced runners run.
I’m a heel striker. And also deal with supination. 🤷🏻♀️ What should I use. I normally use the nimbus for daily trainer. I’m trying to build a shoe rotation and its all so confusing. Help people!
if you already have the nimbus and like it, I don't think it would be a necessity to go out and get any of these. I think the nimbus lite and cumulus would be fun options to also have and that you might also enjoy
I like the extended disclosure statement, appreciate the transparency but even without that I'm sure we can trust in your shoe judgement!

how would you compare the gel nimbus24 with the gel cumulus 24? they do look similar
How would you compare the FF Blast with the Nike React which I love?
I wish I knew the cumuls was coming out before I bought the nimbus Lites which I feel is barely just a ok shoe. Nothing special there.
You should have an Asics affiliate link or discount code. I've purchased from them previously based off your recommendation.
If I have to buy a pair of shoes for mid-long runs from asics up to $150, what would be your suggestion?
I have had novabkast 2,but I got holes on top of my big toes after 200miles. Luckily they are still under warranty and I have a voucher of $150 to order new shoes.
Does the Cumulus 24 fit better than the Nimbus Lite. It was difficult to get a secure fit in the nimbus lite 2 in the midfoot and heel
I'm still struggling with the whole 10mm drop on the Nimbus Lite 2, although solid month of strength training seems to have helped diminish my Achilles issues I was having. Wondering if the ride series would be better.
With your US size 9, do you have like a thumb clearance or less from the toe?
So the whole shoe is FFBlast aside from the gel? Or is it a dual system like the Mach 4?
Where do you live? That water looks crystalline AF!
Thank u
Asics Cumulus or Brooks Ghost, if you had to choose one??, thank you

@@kofuzi What about Puma Velocity Nitro 2 VS New Balance Fuelcell Rebel V3? Which one is the best in your opinion?
Hello. Thank you for your review. May I know your foot length and shoe size for reference?
I don’t know how to measure a foot for shoes. I got mine measured at a running store and have used that resulting size US Mens 9 for the vast majority of my running shoes

Whats the best assics just for dauly use and walk. I have bad heal spurs , doc said no more nikes and get some assics. Im not a runner i just walk around
I would ask for further instruction for your doctor. I'm not familiar with your medical condition.
@@kofuzi i have plantar fasciatea
My usual morning runs are around 5'30/km pace, while my avg cadence is at 189spm...is there something wrong which I'm not aware of? If I would like to achieve 4'45/km, doesnt that increase my cadence to 200spm+++ which is kinda high ? Kinda need help here ,thanks
Currently 6 months into running
I don't have a lot of experience tinkering with cadence, but I'm not sure that's how it works.
the way to get your regular runs to be at a faster pace is to make each step more potent. run more miles and more often (and likely, run a bit slower on your regular days). you will become more efficient. on the flip side, don't go and try to get faster by artificially trying to increase stride length.
also, 189 is a high number. without context of your height or being able to see your gait, it would seem to me that you are running pretty hard for your "usual morning runs". that's not how a lot of experienced runners run.
@@kofuzi thanks for the reply man, guess i will take things slowly and avoid risk getting an injury 👍
I’m a heel striker. And also deal with supination. 🤷🏻♀️ What should I use. I normally use the nimbus for daily trainer. I’m trying to build a shoe rotation and its all so confusing. Help people!
if you already have the nimbus and like it, I don't think it would be a necessity to go out and get any of these. I think the nimbus lite and cumulus would be fun options to also have and that you might also enjoy
@@kofuzi Thankyou. I have been pondering picking up a pair of cumulus. You have helped me to make up my mind. 👍🏼
Why do you wear 2 watches?
sometimes, I'm testing two watches. but typically, the other watch is for music/podcasts/audio books + emergency texts/phone calls
Cumulus ...aggressive heel grip
