Expert Review Sources
- Doctors of Running : 80.8 / 100 — « Pairing ASICS's FF Blast+ Eco platform with a 7.8 mm drop, the Gel Nimbus 25 supports the gait cycle with a stable FF Blast+ Eco base and smooth forefoot rocker (289 g). A smart choice for runners looking for a 7.8 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
- RunRepeat : 81.6 / 100 — « Nimbus, from the Latin for rain, is usually used in reference to storm clouds that carry rain, sleet, or snow. Running in the ASICS Gel Nimbus 25, however, is anything but stormy. Its generously padded upper cozily secures our foot in place while the truly cloud-like midsole provides a pillowy and bouncy ride that brings the fun to our daily runs. It’s certainly worth a splurge if comfort is top of the priority list when it comes to daily trainers. »
