Like its stablemate the Asics Gel-Nimbus, the Gel-Cumulus is a long-running and reliable line of running shoes. It’s the kind of shoe you keep using for ever, grabbing the latest version whenever you need a new set.

Nothing can stop the Lindsay Lohanaissance — not even a renegade school bus. The actress revisits her memorable roles in a new ad for Allbirds running shoes, which stars Lohan as she makes several references to Cady Heron from Mean Girls as well as sisters Hallie Parker and Annie James from The Parent Trap. The clip begins in a posh home whose occupants clearly have taste — there's a plate of Oreos and peanut butter (Hallie and Annie's favorite snack) on the bedside table.
