Robbe is a liar and says the midsole foam is different from last year's Nimbus, which is not true (though it is a firmer density). Both the Asics Gel-Nimbus 25 and 26 use FlyteFoam Blast+ Eco.

Think it’s time you guys go to a 4 color scale rather than 3 (red, yellow, green, and…aqua?). Almost everything gets a green, and inquiring minds want to know if something is a go or a super-go. As always, great review!

Perfect shoe for walking, airport flying and all day stand up at Disney World!!. Feels like a fine comfortable lofa!!

@user-xf4es7eh9y Ай бұрын

maybe, if it actually fits. a full size larger and in 4E fits smaller than a 1080. it's not just narrow, it's shallow. it's also not very stable. lastly it's extremely stiff for a non plated shoe and it has a very annoying toe rocker to make up for the total lack of flexibility. the 26 is other very comfy in terms of cush and plushness. wanted to like it, but it just doesn't fit for starters. so no go. Also ASICS is more obsessed with all this greenwashing suitability bs than any other major brand I've seen and what that means to actual consumers is you're getting lesser quality materials and paying the same. Why do I want recycled bottles in my $165 shoes? No thanks. It's meaningless greenwashing marketing that has zero ecological impact on anything.

The Gel-Nimbus 25 is my high cushioning shoes of the year but it was indeed really hard to pickup the pace with them. Unfortunately they were made for slow motion running only ! Glad to know that Gel-Nimbus 26 will be a bit less slow.

How many miles can you put on these shoes

@Kaisersozze 7 ай бұрын

Asics needs more lower drop shoes. 8mm for a slow run shoe is too much for me as it keeps pushing me forward making me want to go faster then recovery speed. 8mm for the Superblast makes more sense. Until that's changed the New Balance More will be my go to for recovery speeds.

@Believeintherun 6 ай бұрын

Whatever shoe you pick, just make sure you try them on some downhill and make sure you get a good lockdown. The cushioning on the Superblast is perfect for the marathon.

Why does Asics release two model versions of the same shoe in the same year? 25 and 26 both came in 2023, ridiculous.

@tristanboivin8882 4 ай бұрын

100%

@jon4715 4 ай бұрын

I used the 25 as a walk around shoe, but I have to say that the drop really isn’t great for posture, and the foam breaks down very quickly. Brand new, they’re lovely, but I personally don’t think healthy for the foot, hip posture, or spine.

Would you say the nimbus 26 is similar to the super blast?

Only the Superblast is similar to the Superblast 🫡

Please turn down the contrast when you color grade these, you've started to look like food network. Seriously, it just brings out the red in your faces way too much.
