The Cumulus was repositioned in the ASICS line when this shoe was launched. This season sees only a colourway change. The shoe is basically a neutral 2000 series shoe. Given the popularity of the 2000 series that would seem to be a good move. However, the quality of the Nimbus would tempt us to part with the extra cash and go for that. The shoe has a good feel to it, there's not as much guidance as you find in some neutral shoes though. So it really is a neutral shoe in that sense.
