ASICS Gel-Cumulus 26 First Look | How Does it Fit in the ASICS Line-Up?

If you’re a fan of last year’s revamped model, go ahead and breathe a sigh of relief; the new changes are minor. The outsole has been enhanced for a better grip and more durability, while the new leaseback heel design is purely a cosmetic change. Many customers ask where the Cumulus fits within the ASICS line-up and the answer is quite simple. The Nimbus 26, while in the same neutral daily trainer category, has more foam underfoot while the Cumulus 26 is lighter in weight. The Cumulus 26 incorporates PureGEL for additional softness whereas the Novablast 4 utilizes more aggressive geometries to provide a more energized ride. The ASICS Gel-Cumulus 26 releases March 1. At launch, look for it at your local Fleet Feet. 0:00 What It&For 0:34 Nimbus 26 & Novablast 4 Comparison 2:03 Upper 2:48 Midsole 3:28 Outsole 4:01 Who It&For 5:00 Closing Remarks
