In my initial review of the Nimbus 25, I found myself being actually excited about the Nimbus 25. And now that I’ve had it for several months, I am happy to report that it is still exciting.

This isn't related to the shoe, but I wanted to let you know your videos from your journey to sub-3 at Grandma's Marathon inspired me to run the race this year. Before that, I never even entertained the idea of running a full, choosing to focus on half marathons. I ran a 3:49:02, running a negative split (1:55:04 and 1:53:58) while managing to stave off the wall until the last mile. Thank you for everything you do. You are an inspiration.

I’m currently recovering/returning back from runners-knee injury, and have been researching for a new rotation shoe, and saw your first take en Nimbus 25 and some other reviews, got to my local sports store and they also recommended the Nimbus 25, tried them at the store also More V4, and have some days thinking. But just couldn’t get over the comfy foam and everything on the Nimbus 25. So got back to the store bought them, had them on a full day and later that day got some KMs done, absolutely no regrets. So thank you, enjoying your work, keep em coming! 👊

@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 Жыл бұрын

I replied to a comment above that I also tried the More4 (along with most other comparable shoes) which I bought the Nimbus25, but I eliminated the More4 almost instantly. They felt clumsy compared to the Nimbus and unnecessarily wide and far less versatile--eg. I enjoyed a lot of walking in the Nimbus in addition to running and the More felt weird to walk in. I also found the Nimbus to be more resilient though people differ in how they find the different foams.

@raybadudu787 Жыл бұрын

Great to see it’s holding up well! I’ve gotten two 5-mile runs in my Gel-Nimbus 25’s so far and it is plush. Imo, there is a break-in period though. The first run was a bit stiff and firmer than I thought, so I wore it casually for two days and that made the second run softer and more enjoyable than the first. So glad I sold my More v4’s to get these. The foam sidewalls on the More constantly gave my feet blisters, even though I got them in a wide. The FFX is not as soft as the FFBlast+ either. I recommend the Gel-Nimbus 25’s to anyone looking for a max cushion shoe.

@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 Жыл бұрын

I find pretty much all my shoes’ midsoles soften up after the initial miles, and that includes several brands with different types of foam. I don’t consider that a break-in period as in when something is irritating or downright uncomfortable. I won’t buy a shoe that needs the latter sort of break-in, with so many options being comfortable right out of the box. I tried on the More4 when I bought the Nimbus and dismissed it within a minute of testing. As a very petite female, 101 lbs, it felt like barges on my feet and so much clumsier than the Nimbus25’s.

After logging 3-6 mile runs daily in the gt 1000s/2000s I switched to nimbus today. Took them for a quick 5k this afternoon and can already tell Asics has stepped it up. They fit so well the lack of cage/structure is negligible, snd the extra cushion is very responsive and is much easier on my back (2 herniated discs two years ago). Will see how they age, but after 1 run, i’m highly recommending them

Another great review! I love my More V4, and the discounts make it easy to defer to that again when my current pair runs out of juice. But these would certainly be my second pick. I have plenty of shoes that go fast, so I have less need of a jack of all trades shoe and I’d rather get the best for a specific purpose. Since my runs are almost always either easy/recovery or fast/long, my shoe choices have kind of reflected that as well. I just find the standard daily trainer to fall into no man’s land for my preferences.

I ended up getting an SC Trainer which had a little more energy to it, but would love to have a pair of Nimbus 25’s in my rotation if I had the budget. Ended up with an SC Trainer for Easy/Long runs and Novablast 3 for speed work. I’m old and slow though, so “speed” is relative 😂

You can tell just by the version number, 25, that the Nimbus is a highly refined shoe. I've relegated mine to daily walking since I favor the ZoomX in the Invincible 2 for an easy day. (Invincible 3 has a heel slip issue that makes it unusable as a running shoe).

@djgibby1301 Ай бұрын

3 runs in the Nimbus and I had to consign them to casual wear only. The soles of my feet would be burning up after 2.5 miles and every time there was a downhill section on the runs my hamstrings would cramp up. Maybe too soft for me? Went back to the Saucony Triumph 20 and now 21 and it's sheer heaven. Maybe just me as I've not read about anyone else getting hamstring cramp with the Asics on downhill sections. Just shows you that you just have to take all these KZfaq reviews with a pinch of salt.

All day though for every activity, the NB V2 would be a bit weird, as it is very springy feeling. The Nimbus would be much more of a normal feel. The Nimbus will also last at least 100 miles longer tread life. Hope this helps.

Personal opinion - I have both the Nimbus 25 and Clifton 9, and for Lifestyle? I find the Clifton more comfortable than the Nimbus. When I walk on the Nimbus, it feels kind of... flat. It's cushy like a marshmallow, but it's not like the Clifton which is way more fluid. It's not as cushy as the Nimbus, but you feel it, and there is like a spring effect that makes every step transition more smoother.

I find this shoe awesome for outdoor running because you get a lot of support especially for someone with high arches but if you are wanting to run on a treadmill it will not be best because the bounce back and then the rotating belt kind makes you go off balance a bit

Does this happen to you in other shoes?

@abbyschwendler1107 Жыл бұрын

I didn't like this shoe at first, due to it's weight, but i grew to like it a lot for easy runs. The toe shape can bother my toes on occasion even though they are plenty big enough. Overall, I'd buy it again

I've got a pair of brand new Nimbus 25 sitting in their box waiting for me to run the last life out of my Nimbus 24 that they will be replacing. From looks alone the 25 seems to be a completely different shoe than the 24, and while I honestly do not have any major complaints about the 24 I do feel that the cushioning has worn out slightly faster than I had hoped for.

Is it still wearable for wider feet user?

I wanted to love these but my left shoe, under/on the side of my left ball of the foot, feels uncomfortable like it’s on a “crease” at the end of each step, I hope it’s just a defective product but it’s such as shame

I know you dont do stability shows but can you review the Kayano 30's

@kofuzi Жыл бұрын

I’ve tested them. They’re very different than prior Kayano. But they’re very much still a stability shoe. I likely will not be reviewing

@Mar2Legit Ай бұрын

Hey Kofuzi, what is a faster version of the nimbus? I just picked the 25's up, but want something similar, just a lil faster. Any recommendations? Any brand is fine

@kofuzi Ай бұрын

novablast

@Mar2Legit Ай бұрын

Thank you. I hate the colorways of the novablast LOL.

@eiriktollisen2968 Жыл бұрын

I love the wider fit and comfort, but as a runningshoe it’s just too soft and lack of responsive, which to me makes it feel even heavier than it is. Great for walking, prefer Triumph for running

Been looking hard at this for easy days. I ADORE the Superblast and am meh on the Novablast due to squish. Which is the Nimbus closer to in feel?

@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 Жыл бұрын

I don’t have the SuperBlast (it’s unisex and as a female I couldn’t get a good lockdown on it) but I have the NovaBlast 3 and the Nimbus is a completely different animal. I suspect if you have v3 and find it too squishy, you’ll find the Nimbus too soft, though it’s such an entirely different sensation because of differences in the midsole geometry and a denser kind of foam softness. Even the upper influences the overall sensation. I strongly suggest you go try it on in a store. I rotated the Novablast3 and Nimbus for my LR’s, and also used the Nimbus for recovery after marathon as well as great comfort for casual use.

@johnsodm0696 Жыл бұрын

The Superblast is a totally different feel than the Nimbus. It is stiffer, using their turbo foam for most of the midsole, making the shoe faster.

i would get this but i have so many distrust of asics outsoles vs Puma and Adidas. i want something thats gonna be super grippy and durable on my shoes

@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 Жыл бұрын

Not much beats adidas and Puma outsoles, but I find Asics (along with Brooks-I’m referring to the Hyperion Tempo and Max) to be close in outsole durability. And I’m comparing that to Saucony which wear much faster for me. Even my Asics Edge+ racing shoe with that thin outsole are even holding up quite well. I wore the Nimbus 25 for at least 300 mi of combined running/walking and the outsoles were still in quite good shape.

Hello team thanks for the information on the asics gel nimbus 25 product. So my concern is I bought Nike shoe for 4k and after one year shoe cushion had gone and it is not giving any comfort now. So now I am planning to buy this asics gel nimbus 25 or 26 so can you tell me for how many years the cushion gel will be available in the shoe because as the cost of the product is very high so I am expecting the comfort and cushion and gel present in the product has to be sustained at least for 1835 working days. So can you provide an answer for my query by testing or by checking the same question to the company

Will the nimbus 25 be good for me? Im about to start working at the hospital as a Rad tech and will be doing 10 hours a day on my feet. Which do you recommend between the NB or ASICS’s?

@kofuzi 10 ай бұрын

I think asking for a brand recommendation like NB vs ASICS is overly reductive. It really depends on the model. If you’re asking for a comfy, all day on-feet shoe that is not going to be used for running, I like the Nimbus 25 I think it will work well, assuming the materials will comply with any body fluids/spills protocols that may apply

keep them. most comfy shoes I have ever owned bar none. I have the novablast 4 and there is no comparison. nimbus like riding in a caddy. novablast like riding in a mustang.
