Asics Nimbus 23 are running shoes for those who like a lot of cushioning.
Lots of sizes in a few colorways for men: $75
Very limited sizes (I only see 5, 5.5) in a few colorways for women: $45

- Asics changed the top shoe material they are using in version 23 and I have 2 and 3 inch rips in my version 23 that has not happened in any other earlier model I own. I still have 3 pairs of version 19 that I use from time to time and each of those earlier models have just one hole where my toe poked through. On my version 23, which I have been wearing every day for the past 10 months (even have them on now) have 2 long rips in the fabric on the left foot and 3 half inch rips on the right foot. Because of this I have been forced to look at another manufacturer (any recommendations welcome, so far I've ordered some Innov-8 and K-swiss options?).
I've read the new 24 model is just as bad as the 23. In short, don't buy the version 23, even at $75!

I was surprised and glad to see 12.5 on the list. I've had to buy them direct from Asics in the past.
Awesome shoes and great price on those. East bay had a bunch of solid running shoes for 40% off on top of the sale prices (crazy deals!) last week but I waited a day too long and they were sold out in my size in what I wanted. Now that I know East Bay is legit, i'll definitely be keeping a eye out for their future sales.

His not wrong. The previous models had better quality. This is the reason I left Asics.

Footlocker sold Eastbay last month to another company named BSN Sports. So the Eastbay unit mat be undergoing transition problems.
But nearly all shoe models are excluded from the HUSTLE40 discount code. Even a $15 pair of UA slides were excluded. Haven't come across any shoe that code works with.

When I first settled on the Nimbus I had also tried a Brooks Ghost and they felt nearly identical to me (but again, that was ~10 versions ago...I'm sure the Ghost has drifted as well) so you might want to try on a pair of those.
Nike makes terrible shoes now. Overpriced with questionable quality. I too switched from all Nikes to Asics about 5ish~ years ago.
Nike shoes are generally not wide friendly even if you size up
