Did Asics hear us? During the Asics Gel-Nimbus 23 testing where it won a FIRST Award, we just made a comment on its weight (relative). The Asics Gel-Nimbus 24 loses 20 grams and is also slightly different. It’s not revolutionized, you still have a very comfortable shoe made to take in the miles, but the feeling is different. Beyond a lighter product, it feels closer to the ground, a shoe with a very smooth ride and a more responsive sole. You also benefit from very high breathability at the forefoot, you can feel the air going through when you run in cold weather.
The Asics Gel-Nimbus 24 is comfortable, and you forget you’re wearing them as you run, but if you want to have some speed, it responds. The cushioning is a combination between filtration and recovery. In our opinion the Asics cushioning is one of the most successful on the market: it is soft, the hard point arrives gradually, and the sole is not inert thanks to its spring. Running on the road, we didn’t notice any lateral roll with the Asics Gel-Nimbus 24. The foot benefits from good stability and above all from a fluidity in the stride, which is enthusiastic. You can run with a heel strike or mid-foot strike.
The tongue has been modified from previous versions. It is now thin, ultra-stretchy and it needs to be well positioned because when you put your foot in it can cause a crease at the base of the toes, so you need to tug on the tongue to flatten it out. Ditto for the lacing, which requires a little care: don’t tighten too much.
The manufacture is very neat without visible seams and using quality materials.
This Asics Gel-Nimbus 24 is a very pleasant shoe to run in, still the usual Nimbus comfort. But this 24 version, which is a little lighter and more responsive, is more performant. An excellent shoe for intensive training. A good product for running an Iron Man marathon probably. It once again won the FIRST Award.
