Have close to 200 miles on this shoe and it is still as comfortable as it was out of the box. Highly recommend.

At 1500K, I only use this pair for recovery days now, but it was more than up to the task for daily runs and long runs. Still a good amount of life in them yet.

I have owned over 50 pairs of Asics nimbus

5/5
Overall
As a runner with over 30 marathons I have alway used the Nimbus for training runs. A shoe that I could depend on not to leave a blister and feel good. With the recent change from the 24 and 25’s I can no longer recommend. Asics has completely sold out. Choosing mainstream over a tried and true product. Now I’m forced to move on.
