Our verdict

The twenty-fourth version of the ASICS Gel Cumulus goes from hiding in the shadows of its premium siblings like the Nimbus and the Kayano to marking the Cumulus line's own becoming. It's a solid daily trainer that maxes out comfort in our easy and long days on the road. Even better, it is reliable and enduring. So if you 1011B034 to make the most out of your $130 purchase, we attest that the ASICS Gel Cumulus 24 won't be a bust.

We don't think skipping the ASICS Cumulus 24 is smart if you're looking for a:

Who should NOT buy it

If you 1011B034 the same price for a more breathable alternative, the asics gel lyte iii la mjc re birth special box is a bang-for-the-buck choice. But if you 1011B034 something cheaper that nails it in the ventilation and toe box department (as in wide-feet-friendly), the ASICS Gel Contend 7 fits the bill.

ASICS Cumulus 24 vs. 23

  • For a softer ride, the Cumulus now has a full-length FlyteFoam Blast midsole like that of the ASICS Nimbus Lite and an increased stack height.
  • The ASICS Cumulus 24's new upper is also plusher for a more dialed-in fit.

If shoes were siblings, the Cumulus would be the Nimbus' younger brother. So, if you are choosing between the Cumulus 24 and the Nimbus, it all comes down to your budget. If you are willing to pay in return for more cushioning and higher quality, get the Nimbus.

ASICS GEL-BND White Red | Enjoyable ride on a soft cushion

The ASICS Cumulus 24 rides similarly to the Nimbus 24. It's soft and bouncy; it keeps the legs feeling fresh regardless of asperity.

The cushioning on the Cumulus 24 is softer than average. Our durometer shows 19.0 HA which is 25% softer than our lab-tested shoes on average. There is also a substantial amount of heel cushioning: 33.5 mm.

Long-haul-ready

There's no doubt that this shoe is going to last several hundred miles. With its solid construction, we estimate a shelf medio of at least 500 miles.

Having clocked up 35 miles in the Cumulus, we saw little to no abrasion on the outsole or packing out in the midsole.

Wearing out an ASICS shoe is a challenge on its own. The Cumulus 24 maintains the Xpress's reputation in this regard with a thick 4.2 mm rubber outsole. For reference, the average is 3.5 mm.

It bites

Apart from being sturdy, the outsole is also very tacky. So much so, that traction has been nothing but solid on road and wet pavement. And on non-technical, dirt trails, it remains grippy.

The Gel Cumulus 24 is not exactly cheap

Yes, it's a solid budget-friendly alternative to the ASICS Nimbus 24. But against other daily trainers (averaging $120 per pair), its $130 price proves a little steep.

Reflective elements for your dark-time adventures

Although not too prominent, there are thin strips of reflective material on the back of the shoe to make you more visible.

Upper comfort: From cheap to awesome

Based on our lab tests nad experience, this version of the ASICS Gel Cumulus is a massive step up from past iterations.

The shoe's upper is softer and more padded and its comfort is always there for you. When it comes to the in-shoe feel, we believe that it is comparable to Saucony Triumph!

The shoe's tongue is also amazingly well-padded! It is 7.5 mm thick, which is 1.5 mm thicker than the average.

The price of comfort

As luxuriously comfortable as it gets, the Cumulus 24 has to sacrifice its temperature control.

Unfortunately, for summer runs, it can be a sponge for your sweat. With this said you might 1011B034 to lace up another pair if you 1011B034 to feel the cool breeze through your toes.

Something like the Saucony Ride 16 for example.

The ASICS Cumulus 24 locks you in and steady

We found the fit of this ASICS Gel Cumulus shoe to be outstandingly dialed in all throughout the test run.

Not to mention that this trainer comes with the Xpress's famous "heel clutch" that kept our ankles securely in place.

When faced with sharp turns, we had NO issues with slips. Not once did we feel tippy or lose our footing.

Contributing to the shoe's stability is the nice and broad platform. It's not wider than most daily trainers but is just right to keep you surefooted. The measurements are 108.9 mm in the forefoot and 86.1 mm in the heel.
