Runners, the new ones are here! ASICS Gel Nimbus 26! And if you liked their predecessors, these Nimbus 26 are a continuous version but with certain tweaks that elevate the experience of wearing a Nimbus to an even higher level.
ASICS begins the year faithful to one of its philosophies, which is constant improvement. It is true that last year was the year of revolutions (tell that to Nimbus, Cumulus or Kayano), and this may be the year of establishing those changes and polishing them but always in search of constant improvement.
That's why these new ASICS Gel Nimbus 26 They are visually very similar to the previous version. Identical profiles in its midsole of 41,5mm in the heel and 33,5mm in the front for a drop of 8mm. Of course, a few more grams, going from 290 to 304g in sample size.
Sole
If we start by telling you the most significant changes, we have to go to the sole. Surely the place where this model could be polished the most and ASICS was aware of it. This is where the new compound comes in. Hybrid ASICSGRIP, which appears to be a combination of the ASICSGRIP compound along with the traditional AHARPLUS. This combination of technologies along with a more aggressive and marked tread pattern gives the model a higher level of traction and durability. Something that we are going to appreciate and that is really noticeable when running with them even in the wet.
Mediasuela
Quickly reviewing the midsole, we continue to find the FF Blast Plus ECO, with that medium but at the same time soft touch, next to the PureGEL internally in the heel area. This combination of technologies was a success, making it one of the most comfortable maximum cushioning shoes on the market. With an intermediate but perfectly balanced feel, for a sensation of running on clouds but also with good stability. Its geometry changes slightly to give a little more control to the foam recoil.
Upper
The upper part does not undergo major changes either, we continue with a mesh of Engineered Knit, elastic and sock-type, but it must be noted that it does not tighten or transmit that sensation of excessive tightness of other Knit-type tights. The last seems slightly wider and gives more freedom to the fingers, another plus point. The tongue is very similar to the previous one, very elastic and which, together with the upper, ensures that from the moment you put on the shoes, the feeling of comfort is maximum.
Type of use and corridor
New ASICS Gel Nimbus 26 They show that when something works, maybe don't touch it too much). As we said, since the beginning of the year, they have been postulated as one of the most comfortable maximum cushioning shoes for long distance or daily workouts in this 2024.
A shoe that definitively stopped last year from being focused on heavy runners or runners weighing more than 85kg to expand its range to all types of runners who want a shoe with maximum protection. Of course lighter weight or faster runners will use it for those easy or recovery workouts and heavier or slower runners will use it more daily in their training. And where can you find them along with the option that best suits you? Well in 365Rider
