In today’s video, Alex reviews the ASICS Nimbus 29, the 29th iteration of ASICS’ premium daily trainer, and the first Nimbus in a few years that has really won him back.
The specs are a 43.5mm heel stack, 35.5mm forefoot and 8mm drop. The upper is phenomenal, with a plush heel, a long semi-gusseted tongue and a fit that is not especially wide, though a wide version is available. The new FF LUXE PLUS midsole is much softer than previous Nimbus foams and feels great at slow paces. It does lock up and bottom out when you pick up the pace. The new hybrid ASICS grip outsole performed very well on wet leaves and cold Brussels roads.
The verdict is a solid upgrade and a premium daily trainer for recovery runs and easy paces, with some endurance work possible. Once you move into tempo territory you will want another shoe, such as the Novablast. The one real question mark is price. Alex thinks a shoe this specialised should sit closer to €170 to €180.
If you are wondering whether the Nimbus has got its mojo back, Alex delivers an honest answer.
