Ongoing problem... these sneakers (and most new generation Asics) need a Full Length Rubber Sole. These little patches of Rubber Sole wear out in weeks.The exposed foam is not made to handle pavement, it shreds and provides no support. You can feel rocks through it. The lack of a Full Sole creates a lack of structure and support allowing the sneaker to bend upwards, hyper extending the forefoot and toes once the sneaker breaks in. (Painful) Same problem on Nimbus 25,26,27, and now 28. I've owned them all. Need a change guys.
What happened, Did you run out of rubber for the sole? Gel nimbus 26 was my favorite shoe, Gel nimbus 26 for supinators , people who wore out the outer edge of the shoe.. Thrubber covered the outer edge of the sole, no longer there on the later versions This massive reduction of rubber throws that classification out. Only good for normal pronators now . And people who dont run on trails or road. Even the gel nimbus trail shoes need more rubber . What a downgrade
Gel Nimbus 26 was my favorite shoe of all time, im 34. The reviews ive ready about the 27 and the 28 about the sole being a big downgrade and the lack of good colors. It should be a must to have a Black and White color option for any shoe you make. Very sad because i cant find the 26s anywhere :/
Gonna be like everyone else and comment about the women’s color ways are all extremely boring / ugly. I’ve tried ordering the neon green in men’s but the smallest sizes stay sold out, I’m assuming because all of the women are buying that size since ours are so ugly.
Great product but the fit with this sneaker is a little tight in length. Not as comfortable as my other sneakers from Asica
poor colorways... their best colorway was the thunder blue on the nimbus 26 and even the black with white trim on the 26 was insanely awesome. the 27 was trash and now the 28 colorways are trash also.
Love these! I Love the super light weight feel to them and super cloudy compared to the older ones
Great shoe ,no complaints. I will definitely buy again
