Features

  • Multidirectional mesh in the uppers is reinforced for added support in some areas, while space in the fibers reduces weight and improves breathability for long runs
  • Engineered eyelet shaping helps the uppers move more naturally with the feet, while a stretchy midfoot panel appropriately hugs the feet to generate better flexibility
  • Forefoot and rearfoot GEL™ technology in the midsoles reduces shock when your feet contact the ground
  • GEL technology cushioning unit and contoured design lines deliver more compression in the heels for excellent shock absorption and softness
  • Lightweight, men-specific TRUSSTIC™ thermoplastic piece adds support toward the inside of the arch, provides stability and helps extend the life of the shoes
  • Under the toe, the inclusion of men-specific pillars helps cushion the body and deliver a softer feel
  • OrthoLite™ X-60 sockliners equip you with a forgiving, yet responsive stride
  • Lighter and more resilient than traditional midsole material, FLYTEFOAM™ technology gives you a plush feel without the weight

Nice and confortable

2 years ago

They are very comfortable and nice. I use them for work, I walk around 10,000 steps a day, my shift is 10 hours 5 days a week. I noticed the sole was unsticking on some places, I contacted ASIC and they sent me a new pair that looks fine so far.

Not Durable Anymore

3 years ago

I've bought ASICS shoes for at least the last 15 years and have run many half marathons and a marathon in then. The quality has taken a nosedive with their new redesign. The shoes are junk now. It's obvious they are using cheap glues, stickers, and thin materials now. Within a few weeks, the sticker on the tongue peeled right off and the outer parts of the sole started breaking off. A couple months in, I also started noticing holes on both sides on both shoes that looks like someone took a box cutter to my shoes. Never seen that before. After 6 months, these shoes are pretty much lawn shoes now. I used to be able to wear a pair of ASICS for 18 months without any serious problems. I bought a pair of Gel Cumulus 23s in the offseason and they were the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I've owned. The insole on those actually fell apart. Never seen that before. My wife also bought a pair of Nimbus 23s shortly after me and has the same hole problem and started developing arch pain within months, also a first for her. She's since switched to Brooks and I'm looking for another brand as well. Oh yea, and the price on these shoes keeps going up. Now they are the same price as the Gel Kayanos were a few years ago. ASICS is turning into every other disposable shoe brand out there. High prices and junk shoes. Super disappointed!

Helping me get back to running!

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these as I am training from couch to 10k. The last few times i tried to get back into running after an injury I failed after a few runs due to shin splints. The Nimbus's, along with compression socks are making a massive difference to my come back. I find the Nimbus true to size and really comfortable. My previous shoes feel like wooden boards strapped to my feet compared to these. I have been running mixed surfaces: tarmac, gravel, grass, hardpack ground and even some shallow mud when it rains. Obviously they are not waterproof, but i have found the grip really good so far even in torrential rain yesterday! Very happy!

Bullet proof reliability

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm just getting my second pair of 23's. The first pair went through countless halfs, 1 marathon and 2 ultras and they're just getting weary now. I've always used nimbus since the 18's and I'd say this is the best they've done. They feel cushioned but not the hoka kind....the balance is good between cushioning and knowing what's beneath you. Tongue doesn't wag about and the toe box is a decent size. It displaces water well on rainy days and I've never ever slipped on any version of the nimbus (unlike koke and Nike....I'm over the road like a bag of bottles on those ones). Saying that I'm no fast runner or anyway close to being one of thise classed as a good runner....just the 57 year old slightly overweight bloke at the back of the field. So the review is really geared to us mere mortals who just enjoy a good hard run without difficult jargon.

Asics Nimbus 23

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Probably the best Asics trainers I ever bought. Wore it from the shop for 2 weeks straight. Nice and comfortably padded. Bouncy, not too much but just right. Highly recommended. Nice selection of colourways.

Good pair of runners

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I brought this for my husband and he is pleased. He said it is comfortable and supportive. He was surprised how light these are compared to his previous pair.

Great Running shoe!

2 years ago

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a lenghty period out with from running with injuries and niggles, then getting a place in the London Marathon I decided to buy some more running shoes as the ones I currently have (still in decent condition) were giving me problems. So I spotted the Nimbus 23's going for a brilliant price. After getting gait tested from a well known running shop I opted to buy them. They arrived well before the date that was estimated so I was delighted and couldn't wait to get a run in. My first run was a long run and they felt wonderful, did 10 miles and my legs felt great even the next day! I will definitely be buying more Asics running shoes.... The 25's look so good! Maybe if I win the voucher 😜

Comfy performance but detached tread!

2 years ago

They feel very, very comfortable. They support my entire foot in comfort and cushion while feeling light. However, they don't stand up to lateral movement very well. Like in agility training. The tread began to detach after less than one month. Perhaps this issue was exclusive to that pair. I'll repurchase after return and refund.

Gel Nimbus 23

3 years ago

This is a very comfortable shoes and I purchased two pairs. Same as other customers, the mesh on sides of both pairs breaks very easily and there are still a lot of tread life left on the shoes. I wore both pairs for about three months about three time a week and for exercise only. Very surprised that it breaks this easily.
