Running brands pick a palette for a season and run it across the whole range. French blue with shocking orange is one of those: ASICS put the pairing on several models in consecutive years, so a runner comparing a neutral trainer against a stability one could find both wearing the same two colours. That is a merchandising decision rather than a design one, and it makes a shop wall read as a collection instead of a pile of unrelated products. What separates this shoe from the others carrying the combination is where it sits in the hierarchy. The Nimbus has topped the neutral cushioning range since 1999, priced and built for long efforts, with the Kayano holding the equivalent slot for runners who need their stride supported. Choosing between the two has never had anything to do with the colour they happen to share that season.
