Asics Gel-Nimbus 25 | FULL REVIEW | Now THIS is Max Cushion

[@Believeintherun]

Thanks for watching! Leave a comment and let us know what else you want to know. Or if you want to see a comparison between other shoes. Also, there will be an all-white colorway at some point, but it's going to be branded, in case you were wondering.

[@kg4zlb]

Love this shoe; really love this shoe. So comfortable and supportive - like running in the clouds! One of the very best daily trainers in my current rotation.

“I did take it out for just a 5 mile run” meanwhile I’m puffed getting from my front door to the car….

[@FordyRuns]

Great video as always! Q for all three of you … Pick only one guys… this … Superblast … nova 3 … Glideride … you are marathon training

[@Sabundy]

Asics off to a good 2023 already. They aren't wasting any time getting some bangers off

[@johnfairbrother6346]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt the 24s bottom out. They felt like a flat tire after a while.

[@aristodiga82]

Funny how some years ago, a hoka clifton used to be called a max-cushion shoe... and it only has a 29-24mm stack height 😆.

[@aristodiga82]

@BOGDAN SERBAN Dude, chill 🤣. Just comparing a few years back and now, not saying I'm opposing the change 😅. Get yourself a good max cushion shoe to relax a bit, mate! 😌

[@franco05]

I loved the gel, and miss it on the front side, when i wear the 24s, i feel the bounce, which is now gone in the 25s, i still like the 25s a lot, but they are very different. im just glad i have both, which are soo different i enjoy them at different times

I came here to say this. Nimbus 25 vs Triumph 20

[@thejeffinvade]

I tried more V4, feels amazing. Not on sale, so I am still waiting

[@fabsterun]

So I was today's years old when I found out the M in the back actually spells Run 🤣🤦‍♂️

[@fabsterun]

I'll just wear down my novablast 3 until these go on sale

[@alexkhan2000]

Well, after being less-than-blown-way by the Invincible Run 3, I could not resist the Gel-Nimbus 25 and I'm very impressed. I may even like it more than the More v4. The plushness and comfort of the upper is something to truly behold. The step-in comfort is the best I've ever felt in a running shoe - no, make it ANY shoe. As for the ride, it's not soft and bouncy like the Invincible Run 2 or as smooth and rolling as More v4, but it's got its own thing that's very nice. It's a bit firmer but in a balanced way so that your feet and legs are protected from the impact. It feels and rides lighter than it looks or its weight. I don't like to go over 8 miles with the IR2, IR3, More v4, and SC Trainer due to their weight and this one weighs just about the same but feels lighter and more streamlined through the gait cycles. I've only done one 5-mile run on it so far but I think I can easily go on 10+ mile runs with this. For one, it's just so comfortable around your feet and the ride is uniquely pleasant. ASICS hit it out of the park with this one.

[@thomasjgamble3865]

i knew it wouldn’t happen but if they sold the white on white i’d have ordered a pair in a heartbeat

[@thomasjgamble3865]

Nevermind! spoke too soon- Robbie says it’s coming!

Yep, white on white, just will still have a the tiger stripes

[@antonioromulodelcarmen283]

As long as it has the gum soles also.🔥🔥🔥

[@danieltay1052]

My hunches is Nimbus 25 will become the leisure wear of 2023, beating the likes of adidas ultraboost, as the winner of comfort sneaker of the year. There is a huge market for this segment, and not everyone is running but almost everyone is walking. FF Blast+ feels so good on foot, but the durability must be diligently addressed. I foresee the future iterations will be concentrated on aesthetic to fulfill the demand in the leisure wear market. It will be a good start for Asics with Nimbus 25 to capture the leisure wear market.

[@93siguy]

I love my 24s for leisure ! I wear them everyday and run in them too. They are perfect for me

[@filoIII]

I had the UB 19 and 21. Sold BOTH after one run. JUNK.

[@danieltay1052]

[@Neil-clare]

I’ve had 4 pairs of NB freshfoam more x v4 and all four pairs went back as they have a crease on the side of the toe box! So I’ve just the minute received the asics gel nimbus 25 and WOW! Perfect fit super ultra hyper hyper comfy WOW WOW WOW.

[@CoachedbyMat]

So glad the comparison of the Novavblast 3 was made - THANK YOU!

[@spikerboy81]

I loved the bouncy Nimbus 24 for my easy runs and was about to by another one since it wore out quicker than expected. Can’t wait to add the 25 to my rotation

[@franco05]

me too i love the bouncy 24s, the 25s, are not bouncy, they feel very cloudy and soft, but not bouncy. i still love both shoes, but they are very different.

[@darylawaita]

The 25 looks really nice to me. Especially the white colourway. I really liked the feel of the 24 but I still wasn't compelled to buy but I might pull the trigger on the 25.

[@franco05]

they are both very different, the 24s are bouncy, the 25s are just soft and plush, not bouncy. if you can, the 24s are down in price and definately worth having in collection.

[@TolunayOrkun]

Yes to Nimbus 25! I am much more excited for Nimbus 25 than SuperBlast. This will now compete with New Balance FreshFoam More v4. This shoe makes much more sense in the lineup and the price level is much more reasonable. I would have preferred if they took out GEL completely, but I guess they have to put some token to keep branding.

[@stevengonsalves4304]

Intrigued by what the Lite 4 looks like now...

[@farooq781]

I recently suffered a pretty bad calf strain and my chiro recommended these. These are awesome for running and protecting your legs against excessive strain and load. One caveat: they are not made for walking

[@OhWanya]

Are they not? In hospital setting they are highly recommended for standing up for long hour. They have a white colour that tend to go well with the uniform too

[@Morganix01]

Wonder how this compares to my More V4 and Invincible 2s. I don't really need another max cushion shoe right now but I do want it. Especially liking the colourways.

[@karlbadde7435]

Can’t wait for the Fight Floam Special Edition, duo toned colorway

[@carolinebray82]

I love asics I just got a new pair Nov 2022, Nimbus 24 ! Getting more miles! Let's go!!👋🏼🏃🏼‍♀

[@PhilC225]

Very interesting. I recall a some years ago when a couple of other shoe companies (Saucony and Brooks I believe) went to 8MM drops on some of their shoes and Hoka came on the scene, Asics doubled down on their commitment to high drop shoes. Well, here we are years later and what a change they've made now with a max cushioned shoes and and 8MM drop Nimbus. Makes sense though. In my current Sat morning run group (60+ runners), Brooks, Saucony and Hoka are the dominated shoes you'll find being worn. Asics has fallen behind, although I myself just bought a pair of Glideride 3s and love them so far. Interested to see what they''ll do with the Kayano next go round.

[@forgiveness2670]

Can't wait for this to Come out in my local Fleet Feet

[@briankerr2989]

Other reviews say grip still not great on wet slippy surfaces. Be interesting to see how it matches against the V4 or T20.

[@itsahardmuttlife9263]

I with Robbie on this one. It’s ruined. They just needed to add 2 mm in the forefoot. Not a super soft cush fan. Robbie got peer pressured into giving it a green. 😂

[@eiriktollisen2968]

Used nimbus in the start of my running journey because I liked the wider fit and was solid, but became more narrow and weird. Switch over to Saucony (speed and Triumph). Have tried Novablast, but to me it suits more a heelstriker, which I’m not. I prefer speed 3. But I will try nimbus 25 because even when I like Triumph 20, it went from 8 to 10 mm and 8 is a sweetspot for me.

[@totallyshamanistic]

On the asics website, the nimbus is available in wide and extra wide

[@christiankeil7845]

Flitfoam blast plus, who is coming up with these names. Same guy who is creating the names for the Sony headphones?

[@hufemeve]

hmm...... Love the looks already BUT the question is: How this new Gel-Nimbus 25 compares to the Saucony Triumph 20?

[@nicholasholland256]

Nimbus 25 is a nice nickname for the secret shoe.

[@raybadudu787]

I did not get along with the More v4 so I might have to give these a go! Definitely going for the all-white ones. Thanks for the review!

[@chocolatechow7697]

If you dont mind, I would like to know why? Does it give you blister, ache or.... ? I have More V3 and find it better than my older Bondi 7. Now I am in the market for another pair of max cushion shoes , and is considering more v4. Superblast and SC trainer are tempting but both are quite expensive. And I am not sure if I need another plated shoes ( sc trainer ) for my easy & recovery runs.

[@ryancrawford8042]

I do not like fresh foam x or midsoles like those in the glycerin 20. Both feel rock hard to me. It is interesting how everyone's definition of cushion seems a little different.

[@chocolatechow7697]

@@ryancrawford8042 Thanks and yes, quite interesting indeed. Happy Running 🏃‍♀️

[@raybadudu787]

@@chocolatechow7697 here are a couple of personal and subjective reasons why: • I found myself liking higher drop shoes. More v4 only has a 4mm drop. • I also have a wider midfoot and the fresh foam sidewalls gave me blisters. The tongue isn’t gusseted and finding a good lockdown was hard for me. The “N” logo is a harder plastic to provide structure, but it ended up hurting my foot when I tried tightening the laces for a better lockdown. • I know NB advertised this as the softest FF they’ve made, but it felt blocky to me and I think it’s because of the giant stack. I have the 1080v10’s and enjoyed the FF much more in that one. Those are just my opinions so take it or leave it! I ended up buying Novablast 3’s as a do-it-all shoe and I couldn’t be happier.

[@chocolatechow7697]

@@raybadudu787 Thanks for your detailed answer ! Blister alone is good enough reason for you not to like More V4. My feet are long but narrow, so V3 fits me fine. I also have NB 1080 v10 and I love it. Glad to hear that you find your match in Novablast 3. Once again, thnx for your time.

Invincible that we deserve

[@Kaisersozze]

The Cumulus 24 felt great walking around in store but as soon as I started running it was bottoming out for me at the front even though I'm only 150lbs and so it's now collecting dust as it was too harsh on my legs. Sounds like the Nimbus 24 had the same issue, glad to hear that's no longer the case. It also looks a lot better which is always a plus. So this daily trainer now has more stack height then NBs max cushion More V4? I guess we know where shoes are going this year. Comparison between the Nimbus 25 and More V4 would be cool.

[@Believeintherun]

Already working on it!

[@Kaisersozze]

@@Believeintherun Awesome

[@Kaisersozze]

@BOGDAN SERBAN The foam compresses all the way down at the forefoot so that I feel the harsh impact of the pavement.

[@erikvaage576]

Y’all are the best 😂 love your videos!! I was always a nimbus guy, but took up the Novablast 3 this year and loved them so much I got a second pair for all my easy/recovery days as well as long runs, but the nimbus 25 might be on deck for my next max cushion shoe. I love how asics continues the spirit of the Nimbus as a highly cushioned neutral trainer, but modernizing it with latest tech in cushioning :)

[@Lennysunday]

The softer the better!

[@elijahmodnar1]

the toe box is narrow by the big toe so i got the extra wide version, they are great, like a updated lunarglide

[@MAAmer-dy7pw]

I bought the wide version and it killed my foot & toes, it caused me blisters from first wear, I only wear it once and I have decided to return it, my feet sore

[@elijahmodnar1]

maybe you need to get half a size bigger or the ExtraWide version or even both.

[@manuel_877]

Like for Meaghan and Thomas. Excelent information about the nimbus 25. A nice monday for everyone.🌞🏃🌤️

[@brainkale]

Does the softness feel like it saps energy or does it manage to be efficient despite the softness?

[@goodtoBfit]

It definitely saps the energy and there is zero bounce back. Triumph 20 is a better choice

[@docvader2926]

Seems like Novablast 3 still a better deal at $140

[@carrotsoup7264]

A real shame that they are not making the no brand white available. Or at least with a smaller logo

[@alexgrenke5513]

Hey guys, thanks for the review. Question to Megan I guess: Nimbus 25 or Bondi 8? Or is it actually closer to Clifton?

[@billqsack]

I got a pair on the strength of this great review. They are super comfortable, but I’m having a real problem locking my feet down- even with the laces nice and tight my feet are still slipping forward in the shoe. I got the same size as I’ve had with my Nimbus 24’s so I’d appreciate thoughts on how to stop my feet slipping in the shoes. Thanks.

[@poppybrosjunior]

Dang, felt like the 24 was a really great shoe. Nervous about this redesign but I'll give it a shot

[@davidrosenthal5795]

Don’t be you will love the 25’s! Great improvement

[@franco05]

i love the 24s bouncy feel, the 25s are very different, i wouldnt say better, but they are good very plush, they don't bottom out which is nice, but not bouncy like the 24s.

[@poppybrosjunior]

Reporting back with like 50 miles in the 25s.. The upper of the 25 feels fantastic and sturdy so far, even though it has that sock vibe. The cushion is definitely different and a bit of a shock at first but wears in nicely. Overall I'm really happy with it! Will report back again if there are any weird breakdowns in material, bottoming out, etc.

[@GuiBrasil28]

With the Nimbus 25 label as a legit max cushioning shoe, would you pick it or the Superblast??? 😋

[@Vojin12]

Hello, I'm choosing new sneakers, I'd like them from asics (they fit my foot best of all the brands) and I don't know which model to get. I don't want any high-end model like meta speed, rather one that has good suspension for daily comfortable walking and doing all kinds of outdoor sports activities). As I looked, there are two models that would most suit what I want, and that is either Gel Nimbus 25 or Novablast 3. I don't know which one to choose. I heard that Nimbus 25 is better overall. My current sneakers are Novablast 1. The only thing that bothers me about them is that they don't seem that soft and sometimes quite unstable. That's why I thought I'd try the Nimbus model. Do you think it is a good choice? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Idk, I think Meaghan will be biased to this shoe all year. So I will take it with a grain of salt. I've yet to be impressed with an Asics midsole, but they just keep getting bigger. Maybe they should go pbacs tech like Saucony and Nike. Wasn't the Glideride their max cushion? IDK I'll stick with NB and Saucony for my $$$
