PREVIEW Asics Nimbus 25

.

Asics Nimnus has long been Asics' go-to support running shoe—for a very long time, indeed, as this year marks its 25th anniversary. The Asics Nimnus first debuted in 1999, a long time ago (I had only just entered the world when this shoe was born). It was designed to provide excellent support and a soft, comfortable ride using GEL technology, which has made it a favorite among support-oriented runners. It has been comfortable to run in and provided excellent shock absorption, until...

 

This year, in 2023, the Asics Nimbus 25 has been reborn 

 (a whole new shoe!). Instead of showcasing the GEL on the outside as before, it is now hidden inside. The GEL itself has been updated, and the FF Blast foam has also been completely overhauled. This is very interesting! How comfortable is it really?

Let's take a look at each part.

UPPER

The Asics Nimbus 25 features an Engineered Knit upper that is soft and flexible, providing a comfortable feel (though knit fabric may retain sweat more easily in our local climate). The tongue is also soft and comfortable while still providing a secure fit and accommodating the instep.

MIDSOLE

This time, PureGEL™ technology is embedded inside the shoe rather than being visible on the outside as in previous models. PureGEL™ has been developed to be lighter than standard GEL and is positioned in the heel area beneath the OrthoLite™ X-55 sockliner (helping to absorb impact for a softer, smoother ride than ever before). And of course, the foam used is FF Blast, but with ECO PLUS technology—a new bio-based foam that feels soft and light while providing excellent shock absorption. This foam runs the full length of the foot and contains 20% more foam than the previous model. The more curved shape also makes running smoother and more enjoyable than previous models.

OUTSOLE

It still features a durable AHAR™ outsole rubber that provides excellent traction on road surfaces.
