My current rotation: Daily trainer: Cumulus 25 Tempo tainer: Superblast (favorite) Racer: Metaspeed Edge+

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 bought cumulus 25 … n m glad after watching this

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.

thank you for the video , nice video 👍👍 but i think you should buy microphone with wind shield like Microphone Boya 🙏🙏

Cumulus 25, Superblast and Trabuco Max 2 is such a solid rotation

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.

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 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.

Sam, invest in a baffle for the camera to get rid of the wind noise. And put the camera on a stand.

First! Great review comparison.👏

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 ?

@RoadTrailRun

Жыл бұрын

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

U guys in US lucky to have such prices...nimbus rrp is 200 eur....vs 160 usd

Very good review, thank you!

Good comparisons..I'm about to buy either the cumulus 25 or Novablast 3 for daily running. Slighty bigger runner so very comflicted.

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.

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..

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

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.

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
