ASICS GEL-Nimbus Lite 2 Initial Video Review, Details and Comparisons

Article by Sam Winebaum

ASICS GEL-Nimbus Lite 2 ($150)

Just in I had to take the ASICS GEL-Nimbus Lite 2 out in miserable rainy cold conditions for a first run. At in 9.52 oz /270g US9 with the same stack and 10mm drop as the first version and a touch lighter at 9.52 oz /270g US9.

Update: Read our full multi tester review with 11 comparisons HERE 

It has a completely new midsole geometry but the same FlyteFoam as v1, and has a new outsole and upper. It is now a very different shoe, all good by me!  Find out how in the video with comparisons to Skechers Ride 8, Saucony Ride 13, ASICS Nova and Dynablast. It also has a strong sustainability story as well that I cover in the video. Releasing Dec. $150.

Hi Sam, how does the Lite 2 compare to the Hoka Mach 4?

Sam Winebaum said...

Hi Anonymous,
Mach 4 is much lighter 1.5 oz lighter, bouncier, and smoother flowing. Nimbus Lite 2 more conventional in ride, more cushioned (although Mach has plenty) and leans more towards a daily training class shoe whereas Mach is somewhere between tempo and daily training more due to its light weight than underfoot construction which is softer overall.
