Asics Gel Nimbus 26 - The most COMFORTABLE daily trainer?
Переглядів 1,1 тис.День тому
The Asics Gel Nimbus 26 is a max cushion shoe made for easy and recovery runs. The 25 was a fan favorite and there were only a few changes to the 26 so watch to see how they stacked up! Disclosures: I paid for this shoe with my own money. No one, including Asics, gets to review this video beforehand and these thoughts are entirely my own. 00:00 Intro 00:46 Disclosures 01:12 Intended Use/Price 0...

Great review. This version looks so good.
I agree !!! Summer running is HARD
Nice to see some Trail shoe reviews. Liked that a lot
how long were your long runs leading up to the marathon?
Longest was about 22 miles, hit 20, 19, 18 etc
Good luck!
Ooo~
underrated account
Bro why are you hiding your hair with that cap.you have really nice hair bro
Good luck man you an inspiration fr
Happy birthday bro!
This or Novablast 4s for daily trainer? These are my options for buying my first running shoes.. Please helpppp
Comes down to preference, I’d go novablast personally cause I like a bouncier and lighter shoe but they are really so different
The Nimbus is very comfortable, but too slow, only for long, easy runs. It also helped me during my recovery from injury. However, I definitely prefer shoes with any kind of energy return
Yeah that’s kind of how I felt too, especially with so many good options out there this felt a little “one note”
NIMBUUUUUUSSSSS -Goku (on multiple occasions)
These shoes were as fast as nimbus unfortunately
Two paies of clifton: dead around 450km .... looking for something else:)
Hi, which shoe would you choose for a 240lbs runner breaking 3:30 hours in a marathon?
It’s super individual, this could be a good choice though! The sc elites from new balance are also great for Those wanting more cushion
I run between 2-5 miles on days that I do (I’m trying to run every day as a general thing). Do you think this show would fit that role? They’re on sale this weekend and it’s tempting.
I don’t really recommend people run in any type of plated trainer on the daily, It can really strain your feet
Would this be a good everyday shoe?
Yeah this is meant to be a daily trainer so it would work great that way
@@raddadbodtv I bought a pair of kiger 9’s and they are a little softer than I like
@@travischaffin5834these will be better suited to handle some roads. The terrain kiger is just trail
I was told at the On store that with the peba in the sole that it will be much shorter lasting than their predominantly eva based foams. 300 miles max was what was relayed for these.
I have over 50 miles on this particular shoe. It has been a very fun shoe for me. I usually do not get a second pair of the same shoe unless it works for me. I did that with the Saucony Speed 3 as I enjoyed that shoe. I see myself doing that again with the Rebel V4
I really liked this shoe when I tried it on in the wide…..but I worry about the upper in the toe area it seem soooo thin. Have you heard any issues with people getting holes in the upper easily?
What’s your weight?
i hate how clunky peg trails have become. i regret not getting more of the 2s. the closest thing ive found is the cloud ultra 2s, which fantastic.
I absolutely loved the 1-3. I do feel like they got stiffer/clunkier with the 4 and 5. I think it has a lot to do with trying to put a more durable/grippier foam
Your reviews are so damn solid. Great video. What distance would you take these shoes up to? Would you be comfortable up to e.g. 50 miles in these for a single effort? & w.r.t. the traction, did you manage to test the grip on any rocky terrain (dry conditions of course)?
I appreciate that man! I didn’t get the shoe on any super technical terrain just some lighter trail but it’s definitely not prepped for the technical stuff. I feel like the shoe is a little too stiff for that and the higher drop would worry me there. I think I could take the shoe up to like a few hours max. I think up to like 90 min is great but after that I’d want something a little more comfy
Do I need to get my shoes rotated like tires?
Only if your name is lightning…KACHOW ⚡️
I love the reviews, and I find your content useful on here and other socials. One thing that I really like to hear is comparisons to older models because I often buy older models to save money and getting an opinion if there is a substantial difference is super useful. Definitely going to check out these and the Rebel V4s, your reviews on both have really helped now just going to see how they feel under foot
I should be able to do this more as well with past models after this year since this is my first year really working with the brands directly!
Well is that the pace 3 you're wearing?
yes!
@@raddadbodtv is it worth the money?
@@markhill8590 I think dollar for dollar its the best value watch on the market. All the functionality most people need.
I should add, if you already have a running watch theres nothing really about this one where I would say you should replace it with this though if that makes sense
@@raddadbodtv totally makes sense I've the 965 from Garmin but the battery life of the coros really is impressive
Why do u look like a white asian
Good job
first
That’s so much! Hopefully you stay safe and healthy man
Yeah lol it’s been tiring but at least you meet new people
I feel you bro I’m traveling across 3 countries in 3 weeks and it sucks balls 🫤
Those hoka for running are ridiculous. What is with that insanely fat sole. I use NB minimus with vibram sole and can't imagine squishing around some foam every jog I take
11:28 its New Balance, not Saucany :)
Too many shoes man way too many 3 to 4 pairs should be more than enough for atheist 10 years
I’m literally a shoe reviewer
Good luck on the race!
Definitely a shoe I’m looking to run in!
It’s a good one!
Maybe I’ll replace the more v4 with these, I hate my more v4
They’re VERY different shoes, these are more like a traditional racing flat. The more v4 is pretty much strictly a recovery shoe
I currently have the 1080v13. How would these compare to those? Would these complement each other or too much of the same thing?
Very different feel and fit in my mind. These are wider, shorter, more responsive, and I believe lighter
@@raddadbodtv do you think they’d do well as a secondary shoe? looking for another shoe to go along with the 1080v13 that is a bit better for speed work but can still handle some daily work if wanted
I own both. The 1080 V13 is very soft, cosy and comfortable. like a plush sofa. The Rebel V4 is more fresh, noticeable faster. the Rebel v4 is not as plush and cosy, the upper is much more bare bone. I feel they appeal to the same running style I feel. atm im using the V4 to my intervals and runs where it's okay to speed up. The 1080 V13 is used for long runs and slow runs. I love the 1080 V13... im no expert though :D
Id agree with this assessment. The 1080 is more for easy and long the v4 is best for short and fast. That being said the v4 can be used for a daily if you want!
I have put 100miles into mine , still making me smile. That EVA/peba blend really works and if you have a larger volume foot then as long as you size up half a size (for the length) you will be good to go. Looking forward to the upcomming pacer due to my experiance with the rebel v4 (and that is my favorite shoe so far , all others are from 2023)
I wasn’t originally going to grab the pacer since I don’t have a connection at new balance so I pay for all of their shoes haha, after my experience with these and the sc elite though I may have to do it
How would you compare these to the novablast 4? Which ones do you prefer?
I actually didn’t run in the novablast 4. I tried the 2 and felt like those were unstable overall and less bouncy than these though. The novablast 2 (and I’m assuming the 4) are more Mach 6 like in feel to me
@@raddadbodtv Good to know, I snagged the Rebels and Mach 6 based off your videos but will be keeping the Rebels since they fit my wide feet better. Just wondered if it’d be worth giving the Novablast 4 a try. Thanks!
@@mchljn I have heard nothing but good things about the 4, might have to grab one to do another review/comparison for these 2!
First
🥇 winner winner chicken dinner
...YET NOTHING GAINED.
Hoping you'll feel great and fully ready for the event. Will always support you through your videos.
Jesus loves you ❤❤🎉
.......whats the next best shoe to this one in your opinion ?
I mean, I wouldn't consider this one the best shoe...so I'm not sure I get the question. Either way shoes are subjective. What works for me may not work for you!
More v4 : 32,5mm/27,9mm 1080 v13: 34,1mm/28,5. These are the real stack heights! Not what new balance claims. For sure if you made this review, you also can check it. It's available for everybody, were they cut the shoes in half, to take measurements. That being said the 1080 has more stack height than the more!
Your wife and kids? And you are wearing that girly shirt? Something isn't right.
😂 your own insecurity is showing
@raddadbodtv I guess, I showed your video to my friends I guess we are all part of your team. They thought you were sweetie pie too. Looks good on you keep wearing your wife's clothing. Nothing wrong with sharing.
@@jbenabe6241 glad to hear you guys are fans, hang in there buddy. Life gets better
A pair of shoes that was crowned s as the best daily trainer of the year by most reviewers gives me terrible calf pain no matter what I do. And a pair of shoes that everyone on UA-cam hated works for me even though they’re not the most enjoyable shoes I’ve ever run in.
Yeah this happens! Quite a few shoes that people love that I wasn’t a huge fan of
Damn you review made me pick up the rebel v4 and I quite like it. Now u got me interested in Mach 6😂
Haha! They’re similar but different! These 2 + the endorphin speed 4 are my top 3 of the year personally
I love my Mach 5s. Good to know the 6 is a good shoe when I need new ones. Thanks!
Of course! Some pretty big changes between the 5 and 6 so just make sure to try before you buy when possible!
First time runner just getting into it! What shoe would you recommend???
shoes are individual so I'd try to find a local running specialty store and try on a few daily trainers. That will give you an idea of what you like!
