I have almost 500 miles on my Nimbus 26. I’d say the life span for running is about at the 400 mile mark. I now just use them to run errands and everyday wear. I am still deciding if I want the Nimbus 27 or the Novablast 5 next.
I wear size 12 and for me probably the most important factor on max stack shoes is weight. I really don't want to wear anything over 11 ounces / 310 grams so the Nimbus is out. That's why I wish Asics made the Cumulus more competitive (e.g. outsole) as it could be a great lighter weight 40 mm daily trainer. 40 mm done right is enough for most runners, after that it's just extra weight.
Does anyone hope or think that ASICS will jump off the high stack bandwagon and bring back lower stack shoes as well as bring back visible gels in the heel and forefoot (if only a little gel) again? With the success of the GT 2160/Kayano 14 ‘dad shoes’ lifestyle reiterations I’m hoping this may be a call to ASICS that ppl like ASICS for being ASICS and we don’t need every shoe to be like HOKA.
What about the grip of the v27 vs v26 ? The Gel-Nimbus 26 has an amazing grip that worked marvelously also on raining runs that felt like a high cushioning Puma Velocity Nitro 3 for me . Thanks.
Would love to know the grip too.. currently using puma shoes in my rotation because I don't have to worry about grip in wet surface.. but really like nimbus 27 based on this video.. just curious about its grip
Am I crazy but the gel nimbus doesn’t feel soft to me. To me a soft shoe is something like Nikes invincible run or new balance sc trainer v1 v2.( haven’t tried the sc3) mizono Neo vista .. to me the gel nibus feels relatively firm
Great analysis, thank you! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Are you saying the toe guard is stiffer in the 27? I really need new shoes and wanted to try Asics again is it because the 27th is looser that you feel the toe guard more?
Asics has stated that they reformulated the FFBlast+ in this version.
@@burgdog can definitely feel it but they didn’t say anything to us!
I wonder how the Nimbus 27 will fare against the new Glycerin 22 with their new DNA Tuned
We can’t wait to try it
Nimbus hasn’t had any significant upgrades foam wise, but I will prefer it comfort wise over any other recover shoes today

Glad to hear the forefoot is a bit stiffer. Also hoping the kayano will be.
Wait till Nimbus 28 get the FF Blast Max midsole
I had to go for the WIDE in the 26 because of the toebox. Will get the normal width in the 27 🎉
What was your most recent asics shoe?
Nb5
Superblast OG. Great shoe but does not live up to the hype.
Glideride max!
SB2
NB3 still waiting for a SB discount, lol

Which one produces more carbon footprint during manufacturing? Thanks much!
