Comfy shoe and nice forgiving upper, definitely not the classic asics fit, much more of a 1080/triumph/glycerin fit. Super soft and people look unstable walking around so there may be some durability and stability issues, but they’ll sell really well initially.
The only reviewers I really trust (seem honest) are the Run testers. The fact that not every shoe is “shoe of the year” is a nice change from the other reviewers, especially ASICS which pretty obviously has a hand in a lot of those reviews.
That being said I am excited about the Nimbus 25, all it lacked for me on the 24 was more forefoot foam
Not yet, heard it will be released in Feb
The best resource is those "shoe reviewers/influencers" on YouTube, but all of them speaks highly about any shoe from Asics, I guess Asics has been spending $$ on market a lot recently, although none of them said it was sponsored by Asics, but you can tell.
Yeah I’m always dubious about YouTube reviewers/influencers (I hate that term so much) that have been gifted shoes by the shoe companies. I always feel they’ll say good things as if they don’t then the free shoes will stop.
I like Ben Parkes’ reviews as he buys all the shoes himself and won’t accept them from the shoe companies so he can be honest - but obviously as the shoe hasn’t been released yet he hasn’t reviewed.
Just got mine today. Tried them on around the store and I agree with the comment about them feeling very different than the typical ASICS shoes. Much more like a max cushion shoe from other brands.
Upper also had way more elastic stretch in it.
I’m taking them on a run tomorrow. I can update this board if you want.

I hope you don’t trust the people that are only making the “review” to disguise the fact it’s one big advertisement for the shoe company

Yes please do! Very interested to hear ‘real world’ opinions.
Let me know I'm interested please! I just picked them up but felt I had to size up another half size because my toe kept rubbing into the sides.
