My guy’s got longevity - 3 iterations of a shoe review is a flex

[@0aquariumguy0]

I am surprised this channel hasn’t hit 100k yet! The content is amazing. Love the reviews on the running shoes. Keep up the good work.

[@MargaretMook]

Thanks, Yowana! Just saw preorder listings for this and am excited about your review. Glad to hear your voice today!

[@charriso]

New fave KZbin right here! Thank u Yowana for keeping it real and making these videos for us hobby joggers 🤙🏾

I have the Gel Nimbus 24 that Yowana treated me to a few years back and it really has held up well too!!

Podcast is on point during my runs!!! Keep it up!!!

Garth from South Africa, Balega is from SA and it means “to move with speed’ in Zulu. And the colours below the branding is the SA flag colours. Super cool socks. Made by Falke SA.

[@garthbaron1188]

Also now produced in the US didn’t know that

[@MLHunt]

Good info bruh

[@smagic614]

Balega also means manure in some of the Slavic languages.

Hello Garth. How is running community in South Africa. I have hear many things about your beautiful country

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

Looks solid. Any plans on trying out: Mizuno Neo Zen Saucony Endorphin Trainer

[@supwell]

yes neo zen will be on the channel very soon! endorphin trainer i think is coming out next june which is crazy. no idea why they're sending it out so early when it's not going to be available for half a year. so i'll get that one whenever it's available to buy

[@alb.1911]

I am 84Kg. the Nimbus 26 was already too soft, if the 27 is softer is definitively not for me anymore. I will go with the Hoka Bondi 9 this time.

[@blackcatsarenopussies]

Bought a Nimbus 9 as lifestyle/walking shoe and it does very well for running as well. I used to run in them back in early 2000s. Super comfy, very light and that mesh upper is unmatched by today's shoes

[@PhilipWatts-q5r]

It seems like now the brands introductory running shoes like the Nimbus, Ghost, and 880 are now being used and marketed as "lifestyle " running shoes which can be used as walking, working, running errands in shoes that you can also run in. Which is why they are the brands #1 running shoes because thry appeal to a broader consumer. For higher mileage runners "hobby joggers," they are now used as recovery shoes. The next step up in the brands, the Novablast, Glycerin, 1080 are now the true inroductory running shoes for higher mileage

[@ajmartinez1906]

Just got the Nimbus 26TR and it passed the island road test, no regrets. Hopefully they will make a NB5 TR.

[@AJTX832]

Great review !! Just got the Adizero SL2 there super light and comfy !!

[@dcamos78]

4th Nimbus review if you count the Mirai.

[@supwell]

good call man i completely forgot about that one. good looking shoe

[@pamelawamala6751]

🔥A - nother 🔥S - tacked 🔥M - ileage 🔥R - eview This is a sentimental shoe for me. I am not sure if you remember but a few years ago you took me on a mystery ride to a running store and treated me to the Asics GEL NIMBUS 24. When I tried it on it was like no other shoe I had ever worn. Cushioned for running, walking and studio hours on feet, The foam did take a while to break in and I have gotten used to that soft feel. This pair is still in the rotation and holding up well. THANK YOU for the thorough review❣ For reference - I am 5' 4" / 130 lbs - and NOT a "powerful runner." 🤣

[@023shadowfax]

as some wise men have said, “be undeniable.” you’re going to keep growing and those brands are going to be reaching out to you and apologizing for not doing it sooner. 100k in 2025 is happening!

[@riziger]

Just picked up the rain jacket to the UK. Keep doing what you doing man.

[@supwell]

thank you! much appreciated

[@BastianBuettner]

Another guy from Germany, your language is on point 😊

[@hambaallah-mn1em]

you have such a likeable personality. I don't mind watching other type of content from you haha. maybe something that focus on food after training or other type of sports you do other than running (I think trainer always recommend people to find other type of sport to complement running, to develop the muscle if I'm not mistaken).

[@JoeClara]

The Nimbus 26 was effective and comfy until about the 400 mile mark. I used solely for slow runs and long walks. Great shoe overall. They do run hot in the summer time, Hopefully the 27 is more ventilated.

[@kuriosites]

The Nimbus 25 had a little resilience early on for me but, after 300+ miles and a couple of months wearing them at work, they're still soft but they're not giving anything back. The Superblast and the Deviate Nitro 2 have retained their responsiveness after taking as much or more beating (just passed 700 miles on the Deviate). For supplements, I take a B12 (because vegan) and now Iron, which has made me feel like I'm taking EPO. :) If you're not taking B12, I hope you're getting plenty of B12-fortified foods. Also, those biscuits looked so good.

I have both feetures and balegas and i love them both especially to wear on those scratchy adizero uppers!

[@lovetherun]

A lways S howing M agnificent R each The bars in this one topped ASMR charts everywhere! 🔥👏 Definitely getting either the Bondi 9 or this one, but based on your initial impressions, leaning more Bondi 9 for a bit more firmness (esp for winter treadmill miles). Thanks for putting in the work!

spitting bars and running the most. you already won

[@NickNelsonReiners]

Already Subscribed More Reviews!

[@jjeniece]

do you think the traction will be durable?

[@supwell]

rubber durability was solid for me across the 25 (~300 miles) and also the novablast 4. asics tends to have good rubber durability - with the soft foam here it's likely the midsole will lose its good qualities far before the rubber goes

[@tmdventures]

Do you ever indulge the urge to walk in your runs if you're really not feeling a run?

[@supwell]

i don't personally walk during runs but it is a great way to get more time on feet or build consistency. i train by feel so i ru as slow as needed for that day and if i'm not feeling it, i'll set a low mileage target for the day's run

[@shreykalra5602]

Hows this compared to the Brooks glycerin max

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

I've heard Glycerin Max is better but I always assume stride plus runner's weight influence perception of the ride.

[@MLHunt]

Bertucci's is still my favorite pizza joint. Closest thing to legit Neapolitan style pizza in the area. And this is an area with a lot of good pizza from regional chains down to mom and pop corner stores.

[@pamelawamala6751]

those rolls are good!!

[@MLHunt]

@@pamelawamala6751 They are, and they'll give you pretty much as many as you ask for, with seasoned oil and butter included. Can't tell you how many times I've ordered takeout pies from them and completely filled up on bread by the time I got home and ended up not eating the pizza til the next day 😂

Great news as I loved the 25s n hated the 26s.

[@tombola4046]

Vs Magmax ?

[@supwell]

this feels a lot more relaxed to me - for example i did a workout at threshold pace in the magmax. it wasn't great but still got it done fine. in the nimbus i would never even attempt that

[@tombola4046]

@ thanks for the feedback really helpful, I’m a longtime asics fanboy but for some reason the nimbus 25 gave me terrible shin splints! Be interested to try the 27 to see if anything has changed

[@andrewstorm8240]

I have a nimbus 25 - all good

[@gregorypetka8799]

yeah i got the 24 and 25 last yearish, they seem to replace faster than any other series, but they are all great, reminds more of SuperNova or super Nova blast.

[@justanoldfashionedrunner605]

....need to react despite hiatus on my triple day between an outside walk, an inside walk on the walking pad and a normal run........ I don`t watch any runningshoe channels, but i watch the darts championship on german TV ,and yesterday evening i almost fell from the couch At one point the german commentator said: Dieses Spiel hier war ein echter banger.......this game was a real banger hey man show me your max stack shoes or shut up........ the other point, when i watch your videos i got Casey Neistat vibes...your videos are completely different from the daily vlogs years ago , but i got the same vibes of superior creativity of an "active eagle brain"........far superior to all the duck brains of the freeloaders, which call themselves shoetuber. if you follow the crowd you always be stuck with all the other duck brains, only the free flying eagle will find new pastures, where nobody has been before ....lastly, you might scroll back in the comments of your videos to a point, where you talked about the growing pace of the channel. I am sure there was a comment by an old dude, who projected 100thousend subscribers by the end of 2025

[@pamelawamala6751]

🤣😆🤣"duck brains of the freeloaders" ... I always enjoy your contribution here @justanoldfashionedrunner605

[@supwell]

love when i get a comment from you on your winter break! 😂 i appreciate the reminder of the eagle mentality. will be working all 2025 to manifest that 100k! i hope your running is going well 🙏🏽

[@justanoldfashionedrunner605]

@@supwell thank you Yowana. My running is going well. I established a 35 minute walk on the walking pad ( designed to be used under a standing desk in the office), which seems pretty silly. But it all starts in the head, and looking at my day, i now see the start of my moving at 7 am and a finish at 5 pm with a 3 hour break at mid morning and a 2 hour lunch break. Til the end of winter i will reduce the morning break by increasing the walking pad time, and suddenly i have a 10 hour day with just one 2 hour lunch break, used mainly for eating and sleeping. Starting in March i will incorporate 20 day waves of hills, speed or distance with 10 days of easy only running. When the summer comes along i will do a few back to back to back 50 kilometer days to get me ready for my section hike in the fall. All in all i never have been slower, i never have been happier, i still got the mindset of my younger years.....and i do now exactly what i told i would some 40 years ago, when i was called crazy and stupid. average distance per week now around 130 kilometer.....most of my life....too late to stop now.......

[@arv1n_kenn3x]

Oh man! This is so fast! Let's go! 🔥 maybe i'm biased since i just bought the v26, but lookswise i prefer the 26. 😅 But love that colorways you got!

[@at1008]

"another silent movie? revenue." Dang... how can someone not have the urge to drop a comment?

[@supwell]

hahaha i appreciate you my man

[@Mosizzle600]

Who’s he referring to with the asmr?

[@SemiAI-.-]

I didn’t even know they had a yellow color way 😂

[@josenegrete3694]

Is he talking bout Ben Parkes? LMFAO!!!!!

[@7MonsterKd]

Hey Yowana has running helped you make progress in other areas of life? Do get what I’m saying?

[@brianway4240]

It may be disadvantageous. He says "Don't let running get you fired or divorced."

[@7MonsterKd]

Can’t fire the boss and divorce hell on that ho

[@tomrichardson5433]

I’m interested to hear Yowana’s reply. For me, the answer is yes. Running is something you challenge yourself to do, but when life brings you other challenges, the training in meeting challenges that you give yourself on the road/track/trail applies.

[@supwell]

100% - encourages me to eat in a way that helps me perform better on workouts; encourages me to get more sleep so i can recover; encourages me to only put things in my body that help me feel better the next day (i don't drink anymore); gives me more focus and clarity throughout the day; helps me maintain a healthy BMI; improves morale and self-confidence; the list goes on but running has changed my life for the better in so many ways. i wanted to start a business for the longest time but never had the focus or consistency to do that, and i found that too through running

[@TheUncleshady]

You pronounced multiple Nimbus as "Nimby" vs. "Nimbeye". (soft i vs hard i) Did you take Latin in high school, because that's how I'd pronounce second declension Latin plural as well. Most people who don't know Latin would say "Nimbeye".

[@supwell]

us, i, o, um, o - i, orum, is, os, is - did i get it right from memory?
