Our Take 

For years the Asics Nimbus has been a staple shoe for the runner looking for a premium cushioned mileage shoe.  With the Nimbus 25, Asics has taken premium to the next level with a totally revamped and superior fitting upper and more cushioning than ever before. 

What we love about the new Nimbus 25 is that it doesn’t’ feel like a regular running shoe.  The new Flight Foam Blast + Eco midsole feels so incredibly smooth and your joints will thank you whether out for a jog or logging marathon miles.  Although this isn’t a fast shoe, the smooth geometry doesn’t feel slow and has a quicker feel than previous models.  As the stack height is reaching 40 plus millimeters the base of the shoe does get a bit wider to give some inherent stability which is also good as you fatigue over a long run.  The upper of the shoe fits like a glove for a pretty standard foot shape, something that is noticeable as soon as you put the shoe on.
