I'm glad to see that Asics put rubber in the side as opposed to the arches where most supinate . Sometimes, even when running slowly or walking, I felt I needed some support on that area where just the tick huge foam was not enough to give me the comfort and a bit more stability I was feeling that I needed.
Wow you are pretty much the first one on RUclips to get your hands on one I swear. I love your reviews, everything is always so detailed! Good kob
Thank you!!
First Nimbus 26 review that I can find. Nice!
Good review Emily. I recently purchased the discounted Nimbus 25 and although I have the correct size, I agree with you that it is a big shoe. Not sure where it will fit in my running shoe lineup. Maybe keep as a casual shoe.
Best kind of surprise!! Extra vid!!! Wooo!!!
Nimbus 25 is my most comfy all around shoes last year over novablast and more v4. Thanks for the the review.
Btw, love the new background. ❤
Pronation test ✔ My Nimbus 25's are at 475km and still work great as an easy/LongRun and even good for tame strides, since the FB+ ECO isn't mushy.
Another great analysis! Thank you for heads up.. And yes, NIMBUS 25 IS SUPERB, hence, STOCK UP ON 25 = $$$$.. ps: LMAO love your ending, silent reminder of the "slapping noise", great ending 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 missed Rubster 😢😢😢
Can't wait to get the Nimbus 26, that colour is beautiful!!!
Hey Heller - Awesome review - I was watching your video and thought it was so cool, you are local and I run at SM all the time! I was up there yesterday, I knew it looked familiar LOL ! I am a long time user of the Nimbus, I thought the 25 was a bit bulky, bought a pair, they are soooo soft and comfy though! I just tried the Novablast 3 because they are quite a bit lighter and I am loving them! Ran in them yesterday. Again, thank you! Awesome review maybe catchca at SM or the Winter Run series! Happy New year! Keep up the great reviews!!
Happy new year!! I’m sure I’ll see you up there some time soon!
Good review. Have the 25 so I guess I don't need to rush out and upgrade.
Just ran 6 in my nimbus 25, 2 days after a hilly 9 mile race on Thanksgiving. My legs were fatigued but the cush helped a lot!
It’s the best for that sort of thing!
Love the 25, pretty sure i'll go for the 26 at some point.
Amazing would love to try these, I love ASICS ❤
Curious if there will be a TR version of the 26. Great review as always.
My body craves Nimbus 25 on recovery days 🤤 the 26 looks good too! It’s hard to improve a good shoe without ruining it too
And this definitely isn’t ruined!
My Nimbus 25s also sound a bit slappy. None of my other shoes do.
I reckon I’ll just buy another pair of 25s at a discount when I need them. I’ll definitely go up half a size.
Went from 24’s to 25’s. 25’s are a little bit narrower and crush my feet (24’s were great). Also the new bigger stack height removed all feeling with the road. I now feel a bit of a marshmallow effect (maybe it’ll compress ?). Overly stable and stop proper ankle rotation. Kind of wanting to get something a bit more responsive and not over engineered.
For me the Nimbus 26 has a little bit of a firmer feel compared to the 25. I felt that my feet were sinking when I tried the 25 but both versions felt good on my feet. I chose the 26 just because of that little bit firmer feel. So far I have ran 37 km on my Nimbus 26 and I am loving it. 😊
I have the 25, and love it, it's a max cushion that is totally different than all of my other max cushion shoes and I have tons of them, my new fav though is definitely my New Balance 1080 v13's OMG!! I am still waiting for the announcement of the more v 5's with the same Fresh Foam X that the new 1080 v13 has I am going to buy every single color way !!! LOL!!
that will be an awesome shoe
I liked the 25s but they did not breathe in the humidity this summer. Tough call heading into winter weather to get them on sale or try the 26.
Indeed this shoe is very hot, even in winter feels hot, (no ventilation?) but perfect for long easy runs, as it is comfortable, but it sabotages fast pace runs (since the foot sinks and shoe is heavy and more effort is needed).
I just got 25,because my feet fell in love with them. I didn't know about the premiere of 26 coming so soon.
The only thing they needed to improve was breathability
Saw it, thought yeah that's the same shoe, watched to confirm, feel good about myself now 😊
I love the Nimbus 25 so I just picked up another pair at a discount. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
Great review, I'm not sure if you felt it, but it seems your right foot doesn't collapse as much, and although it's a neutral shoe, it seems to support your feet more. Just my observations from your run footage.
I didn’t feel it, but I did notice it In the run footage! I actually mentioned it while filming but it didn’t make it into the final video for some reason
I am holding out for a new Glideride! It will be max!!
we need a winter gear recommendations video, please.
The Nimbus 25 are great for chubby people like myself. They are awesome on the knees too.
My nimbus 25 just arrived in the mail today.
Could you speak to how wide the toebox is in the 26?
How's the nimbus 26 compared to novablast 4?
Is there a weight difference? I like the fact that they took out the bubble butt.
I’d have to double check on weight but I’m betting the 26 is slightly lighter
Lol bubble butt, it's true though 😂
You're right!!
26 is like .3 heavier
Which is more stable the 26 or nova 4?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Would you be willing to do a comparison vid of the Novablast 4 vs Nimbus 26? Would love to hear your opinion in particular which shoe offers better support for overpronators.
I could do that in the future!
Looks solid! Didn't like the bubble of the 25 nor outsole. The 26 looks better.
Any chance you'll check out the Velocity Nitro 3 in January?
Hoping to!
I like that the heel midsole is less bulky
Definitely
Awesome review! I get a discount on full price shoes so the nimbus 26s will be the same as the discounted nimbus 25s. What do you recommend getting if price point is the same?
Hmm probably nimbus 26 just because it has some little upgrades
Unfortunately, the 25 were too soft. If you are a heavier person or someone who pronates, the 25 weren't good for long term. I've been wearing the Nimbus line up for 18 years, the best they've done in my eyes were the 11, 18, 20 & 23.
The 25 had a lot of pros, but they need it to be slightly stiffer in the mid foot. Maybe add the roll bar or shank back? Completely neutral, is "too neutral."
I agree, the 25 colors look so much better than the 26s. I'm so sad and disappointed with the 26 colorways :(
maybe different ones will show up upon release
Popular shoes ALWAYS come in many more colorways after launch so I never get it why people worry about that
Asics tends to release brighter and poppier colors later down the line.
which one would you choose if they were on the same price, let's say currently both on 100$, 25 or 26?
25
Should you consider them if you have the invincible 1/2 or they are in the same category? And how do they compare?
They’re in the same category. I never tried the invincible 2 but the 1 is wayyy bouncier and energetic than this. The foam on the nimbus 26 is strictly cushy but no real energy return
Completely off topic question: Do you know if ASICS is going to restock the NovaBlast 3?
i dont! but i hope they do!
Not much of a change but that’s ok I guess. The 25 is a great shoe. Nothing here that screams it’s time to upgrade.
Exactly! Dont fix what ain’t broke
25 is the color I was considering in mens, 26 is the color I will buy even if I have to buy "womens".
25s are flooding bargain bins in Canada at 70$US so its a no brainer
Thoughts on the Nimbus compared to the Novablast 4?
nimbus = mushy, nova = cushy, but not mushy. more energy
@@RunLikeHeller thanks! 🙏
I get a fatigued dull sort of slight pain in my midfoot in the Nimbus 25 it makes me feel that the midfoot is not wide enough. That said, this has happened in most of the Nimbus I've owned even the wide width. Nothing a little break in time didn't fix. I love my 25's. They are very similar to the New Balance newest 1080 in my humble opinion.
Didn't even know there was a 26.
Soooooo, I take it that Ruby only works Sundays?
😂
Pretty much everyone "The Nimbus 25 looks amazing" Asics "Dont worry, we're gonna mess it up".
I wouldn’t say messed it up!! Just a weee bit different
So this one is like an iphone (s )update from last years shoe? Same but little upgrades? Eh
Thats how it works
Yes, but still slightly upgraded for those looking for a little improvement
How does it stack up against the NB4?
about the same for me as the 25. i love both but i'd prob go NB4
Nimbus 26 vs 1080v13, your choice?
1080v13
@@RunLikeHeller how is the durability of 1080v13? How many miles have you done with 1080v13?
Btw, why 1080v13? Is it the soft midsole?
Супер ❤❤❤
👍
Do you notice a better grip on different terrain or wet areas with the new sole style in the 26?
Thanks!
i havent, but i need to run in some different conditions and report back
@@RunLikeHeller that is interesting that one first impression it was not noticed. the design pattern of the 26 make it look that much more grabby.
Thanks!
Nimbus 25 was a bit of a disappointment for me personally. I may have expected too much however because of glowing overhyped reviews. Narrow toebox, kinda stuffy/hot, and even though less than 50 miles on them, I already see a lot of wear on the outsole. Never felt/understood what reviewers felt so comfy about them myself. Sounds like they slightly improved all the complaint areas but too late for me, Superblast all day everyday for me, but I guess ASICS wouldn’t care they cannabalized sales of one shoe with a more expensive shoe for one single customer… lol. Wonder when superblast 2, because superblast could be improved with a better heel lock imo and better outsole although I still like them and think they’re the best shoes I’ve ever tried.
Wow so early 😅😅
I have v25 and it's very comfortable but too soft and bulky for anything over 6 miles. If I get another max cushion shoe for next year, it will probably be the Novablast as that is lighter and less squishy. Right now, I'm really enjoying the Noosa Tri 14 for its light weight and geometry, which fits my mechanics very well.
My nimbus 25 makes a lot of slapping/ tapping noise as well lol
Oh wow!
is it still a "hot" upper? SInce the 25 kind of like that
I think it’s slightly better
Asics seems to be slowly morphing all of their training shoes into very similar shoes. Not sure how I feel about that.
Similar foams but they do feel different when running
Definitely not the same cushion. 26 slaps harder and more firm
"we're girls" I watched that with my wife and it was either hilarious or stupid depending on which thing she mentioned.
I'm saving loot for puma deviate nitro elite 3
I totally respect your honesty! these shoes are too soft for my taste, pass.
I found the version 25 one of the worse shoes I’ve ever had. On longer runs, I often get knee pain. I don’t find them that comfortable
Sorry to hear that
Wow already!?!!?!
Lets just put some flyte foam blast turbo in a cheaper shoe than the suoerblast. Or get some more superblast in stock for us in the uk
I just came here to say that all the Ladies colourways in Nimbus are cool... They men got nothing in 25 and 26.
New nimbus looks similar to superblast.
Again bad lacing system which can let you down in the long run if it breaks
Thank you Pete Davidson for the review. Jk
Thanks a lot for this comparison
I like the looks of 25 better..It has this round, cloudy, smooth, calming looks…and though might not look like it…it still perform really well, and comfortable for my zone 3 run…I’ll consider getting another pair if I could get a steep discount 🫢
I tried Nimbus and Kayano both gave me blisters 🫠🫠🫠🫠
Oh no!
Me too, at the big toes
