Daily trainer is the least glamorous label in running, and it describes most of the miles anyone actually runs. It means a shoe with no plate, no racing pretence and no special occasion attached, built to survive four or five outings a week and be replaced when the foam gives up. The Cumulus has occupied that slot for ASICS since 1999, positioned above the brand's cheapest cushioned shoes and below the model that gets the new materials first. Everything about the line follows from that: annual updates, incremental changes, prices that stay within a narrow band year after year. French blue with a shocking orange accent was one of the brighter treatments the twenty-third edition received, arriving after the season's opening colours had already been on shelves for months. Late additions like that usually signal a model working through the back end of its cycle.
