I believe this is best deal for nimbus. But I can't find AMEX offer.
Kayano is better than Numbus. I bought 4 pairs. Thanks OP.

what are the different between these 2? What do u recommend for everyday running and walking
They're both high quality shoes. Nimbus has neutral support which is ideal if your feet roll outward when you step, like me. If you're feet roll more inward and you need more arch support, get kayano.

Thanks OP, scooped up another Nimbus, $70 shipped.

Any significant difference between Nimbus 23 and 24? Is the 24 worth paying extra? I used Nimbus few years ago and they run narrow and feet used to get very hot.
I switched to Glycerin 20 recently and that seems to be giving me ankle and knee pain. Looking to get back to Nimbus, so wondering if 24 is worth the extra $.

I'm glad you mentioned about running narrow. I've been using wide (size 12 2E) new balance shoes for years. Should I try 4E instead of 2E? I'm thinking Nimbus could work for me, and I don't want to pay $100 for running shoes.

Wrong! Each shoe is designed for different runners. I tried the Kayanos and got really bad plantar fasciitis (Woke up the next morning to horrible pains on the bottom of my feet. Had to roll them so the pain would go away). Returned the Kayanos and got me a pair of the Gel Nimbus... best shoes for me that I have ran in so far! A little on the heavy side, but they get me through all my runs. To those that are a fan of the Nimbus, I also recommend the Gel Cumulus!

Nimbus 24 is not durable, you can search review on Amazon or on runningshoesguru.

Both state The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.

Wanted shoes if foot rolls out.

"How do you keep a trainer relevant that has been around longer than most if not all of its competitors ? The ASICS team must face this question every year with the Kayano.

With the 28th edition the answer was to simplify key aspects of the shoe. This was a stark change compared to differences between the 26th and 27th editions, where minimal changes occurred.

Last year in my review of the 27s I said "The Kayano 27 is a trainer with two distinct personalities between the heel and the forefoot."

Because of the changes they have made to the midsole this isn't the case. They slimmed down the trusstic system and moved it into the foam of the midsole.

It maintained the structure of the shoe while improving the ride in terms of flexibility and comfort.

The other major change made to the midsole was the addition of the Flytefoam Blast.

The Blast replaced the Flytefoam Propel, which I loved, and improved the ride of the shoe. It was a bouncier ride overall, that performed well at different paces.

These two changes along with the established Dynamic DuoMax system and Impact Guidance System (IGS) gives you a stable and consistent ride every time.

All the aspects work together to provide the most consistently stable rides I have experienced in a Kayano.

The simplifying theme continues in the upper in terms of the External Heel Clutch. They have slimmed it down and moved it internally. Like the changes to the midsole, this doesn't come at the cost of performance.

It still locks your heel in providing added stability to an already stable ride. It also doesn't hurt that it lowers the weight of the shoes as well.

The upper is another strength of the trainer because of its adaptability, flexibility, and durability.

They made some significant changes to key aspects of the Kayano 28 and they all add to the performance. It shows that ASICS is still willing to take risks with a cornerstone of their lineup and have them work out.

This is my fourth edition of Kayanos I have run in and I can honestly say they have improved each year from the 25th edition. The 28 replaces the 27 as my favorite edition I've run in.

The stable and consistent ride brought me back even after my review miles were logged.

If you are looking for a premier stability trainer that is built for daily use no matter the type of run, I would recommend the ASICS Kayano 28. It will be worth it."

"The Nimbus 24 would be the result of if the Nimbus 23 went on a diet: it's leaner, nimbler and more evenly balanced. It has a more versatile ride character and smoother transitions.
Even though the Nimbus 24 is vastly different to the Nimbus 23, I think that the majority of Nimbus loyalists will prefer the 24 because of its softer ride and its lighter weight.
I'd choose the Nimbus 24 over the Nimbus 23 in a heartbeat because I can use it for faster-paced runs as well as easy/recovery runs. I still wish it had a padded tongue but the absence of it makes it a cooler shoe for summer runs.
I feel that the Nimbus 24 is more suited to a lighter runner like me because it's softer and more agile than previous versions. Conversely, it's less suited to heavy runners (90 kg+) because it isn't as sturdy.
The Nimbus 24's biggest weakness is durability. It has a fast-wearing outsole and its super soft FF Blast+ midsole is susceptible to cuts and abrasions. You'll want to keep it far away from trails."
