First time user of nimbus 26, preordered for launch date, paid full price a month before.

I thought wide will be good enough, but wide is like normal for other shoe brands like NB and nike zoomx invincible. If you need to compare they are not as cushiony on the heels but they are very breathable and comfy around the feet and toe area. After wearing it for 40 hours on a flight and walking around airports they didnt hurt my feet. I would expect more responsiveness from that large soul but they are bit stiff.

I am not a runner , just a user who wears shoe on most occasions to walk around malls , parks etc. So better watch reviews and compare it to other brands. Btw many people said nimber 25 is a good choice for the reduced price but at this price is a no brainer for any casual users

Asics followed Kathleen Kennedy's strategy for managing Disney films.

Anyone has tried the new nimbus line? It looks so different from the previous versions.
Clunky looking shoe. Nothing different from previous versions they just didn't hide the sole with this one.

These received a 73 (Bad) from RunRepeat vs an 89 (Great!) for the 25s
Probably received a low score cause nothing really changed from the previous version(25) there is no reason is should have a lower score plenty of reviews say its basically the same as the 25 so for them to give it a 73 is weird.

I was skeptical of the new revamped (since 25) but these are nothing like Hokas or other high stack shoes IMO. In for 1

Reading reviews, these are supposed to be slightly more breathable and a tad firmer than the 25's. Both of those are probably good things.

I had a pair of Nimbus 23's that I loved so I just got a pair of the 25's on sale a week ago. Yes, it does seem like Asics went for the Hoka look on the big heel wedge, but they are really comfortable/plush. It feels like you're stepping on marshmallows when you step into the 25's, so slightly firmer may not be a bad thing in the 26's. The 25's also don't feel all that breathable, which is great currently for winter running, but I jumped on ordering a pair of 26's figuring that they should be a little more comfortable for warmer weather running.

Just want to add i have the nimbus 25 and new balance more v4. I constantly grab the nimbus 25 more times than the more v4. The nimbus 25 is really comfortable and hugs the foot. I run with them all the time i will say they are on the heavy side so you do feel the heavy shoe while running not walking tho. These shoes also are not fast so don't expect to go fast with these you will feel the burn if you do. The nimbus 26 came out a month ago for $90 it's definitely a must buy.

It drives me nuts when shoe reviewers ding a shoe for not changing much between versions. This is probably the reason why so many "perfect shoes" eventually devolve to a suboptimal level after enough revisions. Asics Gel Nimbus and Brooks Glycerin both used to be a perfect shoe for me at some point in their respective lineages as a neutral long distance runner, but have devolved from that. I've been wanting to get back into Nimbus since version 25 got rave reviews and by all accounts has functionally (not aesthetically) returned to a similar type and quality of shoe that version 14-17 were.

Wide is OOS. Regular Nimbus are massive tight somehow compare to other shoes.
