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."
We also have to consider that the running boom of the 2000s that apparently peaked between 2014-2016 may have prompted this shift by manufacturers. Since the growth of new people entering the hobby/sport has slowed these shoe companies have to squeeze more sales and profits out of their stagnant consumer base to maintain growth targets and appease investors.
Many of these running shoe companies have begun to learn more heavily on non-runner customers. For instance, workforce sales are a strong segment for HOKA. Their Bondi model is so popular with warehouse workers, surgeons nurses and other people in occupations that require a lot of standing that HOKA developed a non-slip version of the Bondi to better target this demographic. That particular SR Bondi shoe has a heavy duty rubber outsole that runs heel to toe and adds a few ounces to the shoe's weight.
The running shoe market seems to cycle between extremes. We have had multiple minimalist fads, the last of which fizzled out in 2012. Then the market swung towards maximalist shoes. Now that trend is starting to look exhausted as we see carbon plates added to max cushion shoes with outsole protection being pushed to the margin. The next trend might see a resurgence in lower stacks with better outsoles.
There's reason to be hopeful. Some companies like Brooks, the market share leader in running shoes, have not lost sight of durability and still apply liberal amounts of carbon rubber to most of their models. Craft Athletic, which is a recent entrant in the running shoe market, is making outsole durability the brand's main selling point. Their carbon shoes for road and trail have full coverage outsoles.

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 $.
Wanted shoes if foot rolls out.
Price now is $69.26 out the door tax n all.
Thanks OP!
