"The Cumulus is the traditional, mid-range daily trainer for the bulk of your weekly mileage. Competitors in this category include the Nike Pegasus, Saucony Ride, Brooks Ghost and HOKA Clifton. I've run in 3 versions of the Cumulus over the years with my favourite being v25. It had a really plush ride with good energy return. It was the first Cumulus that was deserving of its cloud name."
"The new headline update in the Cumulus 28 is the change of midsole foam from FF Blast+ to the newer FF Blast Max, which is the same foam that's in the Novablast and the GlideRide Max. FF Blast+ is an EVA blend whereas FF Blast Max is a POE (polyolefin elastomer). The Cumulus 28 also has a new upper and has extra rubber on its outsole."
"When I tried it on in the store, the length felt shorter than most shoes and my toes could touch the edge of the toe box so I decided to go up a half size. My first run was a 13 km easy run. The ride felt way firmer than I expected- I thought it would have a similar squish"
"The ASICS Cumulus is a firm daily trainer with a stable ride for short or medium distance runs. It has a new FF Blast Max midsole however, it still has a flat ride without much energy return. I'm disappointed with the Cumulus 28' performance and I find it way too firm and too dull."
ASICS Cumulus 28 is positioned as a firm daily trainer for short to medium distance runs, offering a stable ride for weekly mileage. The main update is a midsole foam change from FF Blast+ to FF Blast Max, along with a new upper and additional outsole rubber. The shoe weighs 267 g for a men’s UK 8 and costs $145. Earlier Cumulus versions, especially v25, were described as plush with good energy return. In testing, the Cumulus 28 felt firmer than expected, with a flatter ride and dull performance. The reviewer found it too firm and lacking liveliness for daily training.
