Thanks for pointing out the forefoot flexibility of the Cumulus. Much appreciated. It's an important trait for me.
Me too! Unless a rocker is really well implemented with good rear decoupling prefer flex
He blast+ on the cumulus doesnt at all feel the same as the novablast or nimbus. The shoe is very dull and unresponsive.
me too!!
The video we've been waiting for! Splendid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very good review, thank you!
I’m currently running in the Novablast 2 I got for $50 right before Christmas. Pretty good shoe. May consider the Cumulus 25.
I am using the cumulus 24 for a lot of training runs. Super comfy and it’s a workhorse. I use the nimbus 24 and 25 for races. Very bouncy and responsive.
My current rotation:
Daily trainer: Cumulus 25
Tempo tainer: Superblast (favorite)
Racer: Metaspeed Edge+
Absolutely loving my Superblast!
Great to hear!
Excellent and useful comparison!
Thanks!
I think I have the weirdest ASICS lineup. I like to feel the trail so I like the Fuji Lite 3 & I also do sprints during track practice sometimes while coaching in these. My legs are typically beat up because of this so I jog in the ASICS Nimbus 25 & I tempo in the ASICS Superblast (which were a gift).
Not weird at all. Fuji Lite are a great one for all around use
I wanted a shoe for casual use, so I bought the Nimbus 25/Nike Invincible Run 3/Cumulus 25......I still have the Cumulus. May take it out for a slow run to test it's daily trainer credentials. The Nimbus felt the same as you thought, clunky in the heal.
Cumulus 25, Superblast and Trabuco Max 2 is such a solid rotation
Excellent comparison 👏🏼
Thanks!
We need the Kayano 30 added to this comparison!
2nd time i’m watching this. These comparisons are gold. Really appreciate your effort. Out of the listed shoes, i only have the superblast. I do have the evoride speed and think that shoe would have been a good fit in the lineup as well.
Thanks so much Isoif!

thank you for the video , nice video 👍👍 but i think you should buy microphone with wind shield like Microphone Boya 🙏🙏
Just got the superblast for $100 shipped. Still waiting on delivery, the seller is taking forever
First! Great review comparison.👏
I love the Superblast. Good for long runs at any pace. I don't like the Novablast 3. In the Novablast 3 my feet slap 🩼🩼🩼the ground (heel to toe) fast making the feet swell up after 10k... Nothing good comes from foot slapping the ground 😂. I also don't find much energy return from the Novablast 3. Superblast worth the extra money 👍🏻
I have the Cumulus 23, might need to update it soon between Novablast 3 and Cumulus 25 what would you recommend?
Sam, invest in a baffle for the camera to get rid of the wind noise. And put the camera on a stand.
Nice comparison
Thanks!
Good comparisons..I'm about to buy either the cumulus 25 or Novablast 3 for daily running. Slighty bigger runner so very comflicted.
I would go for cumulus if you are not worried about pace
U guys in US lucky to have such prices...nimbus rrp is 200 eur....vs 160 usd
how would you compare the softness of the 3 FF Blast+ shoes? Do the 3 feel equally soft or is there any difference due to foam density or stack height differences ?
Nova Blast 3 not quite as soft as others as lower stack. I would say Cumulus softest at the heel and a bit thinner and quicker feeling at the forefoot than Nimbus. Superblast has the quickest foam return due to Turbo. Not as soft but so much cushion
Thanks. What is your recommendation for the old heavy runners? I have the Nimbus but not loving it.
In ASICS new Cumulus. Why don’t you get along with Nimbus What has worked better for you?
Great and really helpful review🙌Is the sizing same for Superblast and Novablast3? I know my size for nb3 and want to order SB online. Thanks!
Thanks! Yes same true to size for both for me
Hi whats between Nimbus & Nova?
Between the Cumulus 25 and the Novablast 3, which would be the daily trainer for a neutral runner who tends to forefoot/midfoot strike?
Novablast 3 understanding not quite as stable as Cumulus or as cushioned upfront but still has plenty
How would you compare cumulus 25 vs triumph 20? Got the latter an love ‘em
Very similar in weight, stack height and having a softer ride. If you like Trumph 20 you should also like the Cumulus 25
@@RoadTrailRun tbh seems like asics took a little….. inspiration (first time I saw the cumulus on the web I thought they were triumph)
I’ve read the Glideride lineup is gonna be discontinued. Do you know something about it? (Or are you allowed to say something about it?)
Sorry no info either way
I'm new to running. Which of these three shoes would you recommend? They're all priced between $100 and $120.
ASICS NOVABLAST 3 LE
ASICS GEL-CUMULUS 25 TR
Kiprun KD900 Light
Not familiar with Kiprun. Between Nova and Cumulus if new to running probably Cumulus. Nova a bit more speed focused.
Where does the Glideride fit? I know that the rumor is it'll be discontinued, but with money as no object, how does it stack up against the Superblast? I've been eyeing those two, and maybe the new Cumulus, as lighter, cushioned long run shoes. Unfortunately, I can't try the Glideride in any of my local stores.
I like latest Glideride 3 and yes it could be in the comparison. A bit more stable than Superblast and a bit heavier. Rigid rocker but in latest a bit of flex.
Thanks so much! :)
What would u recommend for someone who might stand all day, like a crossing guard,, who needs to be able to walk on the road with dry wet conditions but needs maximum comfort for standing and walking back and forth all day.. Think 10hours daily.. Thanks in advance..
Consider Puma Magnify Nitro 2 or ForeverRun or HOKA Bondi
compare with Nimbus 24 vs Cumulus 25 which is better now? Compare with cushion and stability aspect.
Nimbus 24 has bad forefoot cushion. Low energy return as well..
Clearly Cumulus 25 for me. Although I did like 23 a lot.
Which one is the most breathable for hot climates ?
Either Superblast or Novablast
Thank you, I think the traditional flex of the Cumulus is getting rare. I like rocker design but if it doesn't work for me, it is terrible. Unlike most RTR testers I don't get along nicely with the rocker of the Trabuco Max 2. I just wondered if the TM2 rocker is comparable to that of the Superblast? That would really most likely ruin the shoe for me. Besides my dislike for salmon colored midsoles. 😎
Sorry I have not run the TB2 but did the TB1 and Superblast. I am not a fan of rigid rockers in trail shoes when things get more technical and paces slower but well done and not over rigid I am fine in road trainers if preferring some flex. I like the rocker in Superblast which is not of the plated variety but due to the thickness of stack and lower Fyte Foam Blast Plus layer.
@@RoadTrailRun I'd also be interested if any of your RTR people had opinions about how the TB Max 2 midsole fits in with these others. Some other reviewers seem to think it's a very interesting thick slab of "blast +" foam. Some hinted it reminded of the Nimbus.
@@q20a08 I didn't run it so can't compare I will ask Jeff Beck who has run trail and road with both but it but it too has Flyte Foam Blast + See our TB2 review here: www.roadtrailrun.com/2023/02/asics.html
I have a hard time believing the C25 has more forefoot stack than the Novablast 3, just from looking at them the Novablast has way more visible foam underfoot. Pretty sure whoever typed the specs on ASICS' website made a typo
Until the N25 & C25, Asics didn't include the insole & outsole in the stack measurement. Hence, the stack height for the Novablast 3 is less on the website. In reality, the NB3 has a wee bit more stack at the forefoot (compared to C25). According to runrepeat, the forefoot of the NB3 is 30.xx mm. The drop is
Indeed ASICS does not or until recently did not include outsole, lasting board or sockliner in their listed stats. Now they will but appears hasn't updated NB3
Great video! Do you think the cumulus 25 is suitable for tempo or long distance just like the novablast 3?
I think the novablast 3 is the best all-around shoes!
Thanks! The Cumulus 25 will lean more long distance while Novablast 3 more tempo
Superhero, supernatural, superlast or is it Superblast?! Gem of a shoe, worth every penny.. Long run only, feels like a treat day! Nova 3 for easy-progressive runs, Magic for intervals.. The nousa taking a back seat, the brooks tempo and puma elite 1 having a rest.. The evoride speed fills in on long, tempo and easy days.. ASICS killing it..
I am dedicated to Brooks any other best running shoes
So should I get the nimbus 25 or the superblast?
Unless you need a bit more stability and price not an issue..Superblast
For casual use ( walking & occasional light jogging ) , nimbus 25 is better?
Does the super blast have a plate?
No but its very rigid.
No plate and none needed as rigid due to high stack and lower FF Blast + layer
its annoying how i found the perfect shoes for me, which is superblast but it dont have my color,
haha sad but true
Cumulus is the most stable, then the nimbus.
He blast+ on the cumulus doesnt at all feel the same as the novablast or nimbus. The shoe is very dull and unresponsive. .. the upper felt super hot and the tongue is to thick for me .. 12k run felt like a punishment instead of a lovely run.. superblast way more fun
Here in Brazil, the Superblast price is almost 2x. Can't compare both here.
@@jorgegriz same here brother . But if you can afford to buy the cumulus in 1 month just safe money 1 more month and buy tthe superblast. Cumulus is bad
I think the superblast is now $200, not $220.
That is correct and we have a correction in description Thanks
winnnnnnnnnnnd !!
is it just me or feet moves in all asics shoes?
Overly stretchy and soft uppers
