ASICS GEL-Nimbus 25 Video Review: "Massive" Update! Detailed Comparisons to Nimbus 24, Novablast 3, Superblast, and Glide Ride 3

 Article and Video by Sam Winebaum

ASICS GEL-Nimbus 25 ($160)

Update: Full 5 Multi Tester Review with 15 Companions HERE

ASICS extensively teased the Nimbus 25 as "The Mystery Shoe" over the past few months. Not resembling the Nimbus of yore the 25 is a total update to this classic yet one that retains its essence as a stable, well cushioned more premium "neutral" daily trainer.

In the video we detail all the changes including:

  • 6mm more forefoot stack and 4mm more heel stack of a single density of energetic FF Blast + ECO foam
  • a completely new inherently stable, very broad geometry without plastic pieces or firmer medial foams
  • embedded rear Pure GEL unit, front GEL goes away
  • a luxurious and very secure knit upper
  • and.. no change to weight or price!
We also extensively compare the new Nimbus to the Nimbus 24, Superblast, Glide Ride 3, and Novablast 3
A full multi tester review is coming soon. GEL-Nimbus 25 will release February. $160

Hi, Nimbus 25 listed at 200€ on the EU Asics websites, 10€ increase over the 24.

Sam,
Thanks for the great introductory review and comparisons. In your opinion, do you find the FF Blast+ changes it's cushioning character in colder temps, like standard EVA? I am currently running in a TPU-based midsole, and have appreciated its consistent cushioning behavior through heat and blizzards here in the midwest. I appreciate the work of you and your crew.
