Asics Men's Gel-Nimbus 25
Our Take
For years the Asics Nimbus has been a staple shoe for the runner looking for a premium cushioned mileage shoe. With the Nimbus 25, Asics has taken premium to the next level with a totally revamped and superior fitting upper and more cushioning than ever before.
What we love about the new Nimbus 25 is that it doesn’t’ feel like a regular running shoe. The new Flight Foam Blast + Eco midsole feels so incredibly smooth and your joints will thank you whether out for a jog or logging marathon miles. Although this isn’t a fast shoe, the smooth geometry doesn’t feel slow and has a quicker feel than previous models. As the stack height is reaching 40 plus millimeters the base of the shoe does get a bit wider to give some inherent stability which is also good as you fatigue over a long run. The upper of the shoe fits like a glove for a pretty standard foot shape, something that is noticeable as soon as you put the shoe on.
