Mist over white is the summer version of the twenty-third Cumulus, a pale blue-grey that makes the shoe look lighter than its roughly ten-ounce weight. Underneath, this generation was ASICS refining rather than rebuilding. The Propel foam insert came out of the heel, stack height rose by a millimetre, and the midsole gained a pattern of moulded pillars the brand tuned separately for men's and women's versions to match different strike patterns. Testers reported a softer and slightly duller ride than the 22, better suited to accumulating easy kilometres than to picking up the pace. The following year's 24 would move the model to a full-length FlyteFoam Blast midsole and change its character considerably, which places this one at the end of the model's long conservative phase. For a line whose whole identity is dependability, that was never really a criticism.
