Exactly The new nimbus 28 has a much more narrower midsole than its predecessor or any of the shoes you’re currently using.
Bought the nimbus 28 today for easy runs. Already had the megablast for tempo runs. Love them both.
Yes, totally agree. Check out the new Nimbus! It's 28 I think.
Well the Superblast 2 of course is a brilliant Choice as well. Mine still run for over 760 km now. I absolutely Love Thema. but Nimbus could be more protection
To me the Superblast isn’t a recovery shoe at all. It’s more of a true do-it-all trainer capable of handling short, harder efforts as well as longer, easier runs, with plenty of cushioning but still enough pop and geometry to stay versatile. Nimbus feels like a true recovery cruiser. softer, heavier, and more relaxed. Great for easy miles, but nowhere near as lively or versatile once you pick up the pace. If you already own the Nimbus, the SB3 still makes sense if you want something lighter and more responsive for daily miles and uptempo work, they don’t overlap as much as it might seem.
Hi, most of my runs are in similar tempo here are my thoughts: Nimbus 28 - safest most comfortable and good for the pace Adizero - tempo trainer - very unstable at slow paces i would avoid imo. NB Rebel v5 - Im almost same weight/height as you (i've ran only in rebel v4) but the durability of the foam sucks, if you feel ok with replacing your shoes fast then it is an option aswell. If you would consider another option my vote goes to Novablast 5, i really like them! Best of luck in finding new pair
Currently alternating between my Nimbus 28s for slow, ploddy runs, and my Endorphin Speed 5s for my proper long runs. Both good. And despite less cushioning than the Nimbus, my feet felt absolutely fine on last week's 28km in the Speed 5s!
For me, the Nimbus 28 is an easy/recovery shoe. It's fairly cushioned, flat, unresponsive, and quite a big heavy shoe. It's like wearing a cushion on your feet. I like it for <10k easy runs, that seems to be its raison d'etre. Went out on a deload 20k run the other day and hated it - too much effort. I'd imagine the Superblast is much more versatile.
I am a heavy male runner. Do my long runs at 10:30-11 min pace. Just did 20 miles yesterday at 10:40 avg in Gel Nimbus 28. They are great. And light for the amount of protection/comfort.
I recently purchased the Nimbus 28’s for recovery and training. True to size, no discomfort anywhere, they were legit from day 1. Not great for speed work though. Great for staying healthy and clocking miles. I’m novice runner, age 49M
Nimbus gels 25 were my favorite running shoe ever. Recently moved up to 28.
Early reruns are solid but I’ve barely been outside since I got them a couple of weeks ago because of the cold. The sole is THICK but doesn’t seem to overwhelm me
My job requires me to stand on my feet 8 hours a day and I like my Asics Nimbus 28 a lot, sometimes i use it for easy run when I have breaks or after work, pretty convenient. A close contender was Nike Vomero Plus but the Nimbus edge out a little bit on cushion for me.
I havent had any problems with them so far! Its nice a d thick and padded.
