Our Take 

The Asics Nimbus has a long history of being a durable, mileage oriented shoe for the neutral runner who wants the feel of premium cushioning and the 24th version doesn’t disappoint.  The addition of FF Blast Plus™ cushioning helps knock off about 13g from the previous version while creating a softer landing and a more responsive toe-off.  The slightly higher heel height of the Nimbus also makes it an great option for the runner losing some elasticity in the achilles tendon.
