You're the only reviewer i've seen that has said they don't like the tongue on this shoe. Everybody else says it's the best tongue ever!
The problem with YT reviewers is that they are all in an echo chamber. I like the fact that he has a dif take even though I don't agree with every review. Shows he's not bandwagoning.
I mean looking at that tongue, he’s right it looks bad
I have the 24s and it's my favorite part of the shoe. Easy to adjust.
@@gregoryweissman Yeah I've seen people like it and hate it. Most people like it. I'd rather have a stretchy long tongue than a tongue that's not long enough like in a Rincon 3 or Rebel v3. Like wtf?!
He didn't like the 24, it took me a while to lihe the tongue
I’ve heard that ASICS tends toward firmer rides because Eastern markets tend to prefer firmer midsoles. Probably a generalization, but as someone who prefers a firm ride that isn’t too mushy, I appreciate ASICS’ effort to appeal to a wide range of running preferences.
Yes
I hesitated a lot before purchasing this shoes due to the tongue issue Seth mentioned. But after i got it, it is not that big of a deal. Actually the shoe itself is far better than i ever imagined. It is the slightest details that matter. The shoe is truly a masterpiece.
It feels like running on clouds with this show, what do you mean firm?!
I appreciate your perspective with this shoe, Seth. Still, I’m really curious to try these shoes for myself along with the Nike Invincible 3s. I need more cushioning in my shoes. The Mach 4s, my previous shoes, weren’t enough cushioning for me.
It’s so interesting, I tried the saucing triumph 20 on at my local running shoe store and liked it, but the rep recommended I try on the gel nimbus 25 based on my size (215 lbs) and I absolutely loved it when running, it felt very comfortable and still gave me the energy return I was looking for! Like I wouldn’t say the shoes really felt all that firm at all, but that could be due to my weight
Im undecided on what should i get, either saucony triump 20 or asics gel nimbus 25
@@flow104 I'm in the same boat. Had to retire my 2nd pair of OG GlideRides and I can't find any version 3's here in South Africa. So now looking at this one. Just hoping the 'firmish' midsole with the slight rocker geometry can somehow mimic the ride and feel of the OG GlideRide.
“Moving’ On Up”, theme song from “The Jeffersons” by Ja’Net DuBois. Fun fact, Rolling Stone Magazine recently ranked it #1 on its list of “The 100 Greatest TV Theme Songs Of All Time”.
YES!!! Thank you
Love a good Rolling Stone fun fact. Thanks Meredith!
I would of picked the old classic TV series theme from my favorites 1 -Hawaii Five O. Number 2 old 70's show Mission Impossible and I Dream of Jeannie as a close favorite too. But the classic Hawaii Five O theme song rocks!.To me it's even an inspirational song which during certain times can pick our mood up to run.The 60's and 70's had alot of great music. The endless Golden era.But with whatever music inspires you good luck on your 🏃♀️ runs
Best easy day shoe of the year for me!
QOD: Hoping to run the full marathon this year but after my 1st HM, i realised that the FM demands more respect and training. Don't want to do the FM just so i can say i did it. If i do, i want to get the best out of it - reflecting all that time and effort to prepare for it!
I demo’d these today and really enjoyed them. I agree with the tongue feedback though, it gave me pause when lacing up. Otherwise the upper is, indeed, buttery! I propose laces with a bit of elasticity to them would make a big difference.
Saucony triumph 20 is the best, luckly i see your saucony triump review video.. two thumbs up for your honest and accurate review !
I just pre ordered this shoe! Ive been looking for a new easy day shoe and other reviews pointed to this shoe being softer/more plush than the NB more 4. Goes to show just how different every shoe can feel from person to person.
Almost feels like the exact opposite review from other reviewers.
🔥
Iive always believed to take in to consideration the body type/speed of a runner when looking for reviews. I love watching Seth's reviews purely for fun! But if im honestly looking to buy a shoe i look at the ginger runner or believe in the run since those runners are more my body type/experience.
@@dmac6119 Yeah, I love Seth's reviews but I have to view them through the eyes of a 200 pound weight-lifter who is fairly new to running.
@@jason.rams4 Which reviewers?
Firm ride? Most other reviews say the Nimbus 25 is super soft. Guess i'll just have to try it and find out.
Hey! I tried nimbus 25 absolutely love it ! It’s soft for me i guess weight comes into play hahahahah , i’m planning to get it 2nd hand , it’s on discount now but still expensive $259 it’s now $200!
Oh i meant in sgd !!
Absolutely determined to run the London Marathon one of these days. That would be a dream come true.
Hi Seth, love the glideride 3! Worth to try these? Cheers 👍
determined to do two world marathon majors in six days both sub 3 hours! Abosh 🎉
I agree almost completely except I love that stretchy tongue! Great review!
Interesting to see differences in preference between reviewers, many others loved the tongue and the way it felt
same observation here, everybody else says it's the best tongue and talks about how cushioned this shoe is
I agree and he knocked alot of points for just the tongue
I dunno if there were that many points taken for it, it was only knocked one point below average. Personally I like the tongue though and I've heard others do too
I think that to get the best out of this shoe and that SuperBlast , the runner must not be feather weight to enjoy these shoes. It could be a nice daily trainer for a bit overweight runner, like myself .
I agree 100%. I am 6'1", 230 lbs. Very heavy for long distance running. Even someone at a normal weight for my height (190 lbs,) would be considered heavy in long distance running.
I just got Asics Gel Nimbus 25. I
Now I understand what Seth meant when he mentioned the midsoles of these shoes are not plush, but rather stiff. Well, since I haven't run in them, I can't jump to the conclusion yet. But I was surprised by the stiff midsoles. Thought it would be more plush than this. Geeez
Thanks for the video, Seth! Comparing to more v4, what is your opinion?
Running my 1st half in April. Oklahoma City Memorial. It pays tribute to the 168 people that perished at Murrah federal building in 1995.
Finally someone says this tongue is bad. It took Seth to tell it like it is. Thank you!
Just bought a pair and the cushioning even blows away the Hoka Bondi I’ve been running. While in the store I tried on 3 other top max cushion shoes for kicks and the Nimbus just felt better in every way. The knit upper is the most comfortable I’ve ever felt, the lockdown was sufficient, the cushioning feels like clouds, and they don’t feel heavy. The most astounding advancement in this model is the forefoot cushioning. I guess losing the Gel was a good thing. They do cost a pretty penny but that’s why I only buy max cushion shoes their longevity is a money saver. Great review Seth I think it deserves better scores but hey everyone’s different.
That's good fkn news
@@kiteracer2497 LOL. Right on man.
At 200 lbs, I'm craving for more cushion.
Would love to see a vlog reviewing photos submitted for shoes with lots of mileage in them. About to retire altra Torin 5 after maybe 1000 miles
that would be cool, hmmmmm.... I think about how we could do that
Ummmm.. the tongue is amazing! I’m very confused with that. I usually wear a more minimal shoe, but this bouncy SQUISHY shoe was very fun to run in! It’s all good so interesting how different we feel in the same shoe.
I’m determined to get over this knee injury that’s plagued me for over 4 months. Knee Plica is annoying. Anyone had this before? Time off, pt, and shot have all happened. Any tips?
Upper Overall = 8
Midsole Overall = 9
Outsole = 9
(May last +1500km)
Final Score for a $160 shoe = 7.2
Sure...ok...
QOD: I absolutely determined to break 20 in the 5k one day. I have no clue when that will happen but I’m hoping sometime in the next year 😄
QoD. QMT50 in July. My 1st ultra 😬
Hi Seth, if compare with Hoka Bondi 8, which better for soft foam ?
As hard as it feels (as per Seth's analysis). I feel like Asics made this shoe for longer runs (Easy pacing) for training and for Ultra Marathon (anything over 42.2kms).
This is the first review I’ve seen that said the midsole was firm. So weird.
Because it’s not. I work at a running shoe store and tried them on yesterday. Honestly one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever tried on, they were fairly soft and responsive
Looks like a Hoka One One but I am curious about the foam. However, the price point will likely be around 250 sgd.
It’s expensive here in sg. 269sgd. I was lucky enough that this launched when I’m in Japan and I got it for 180sgd.
Hi Seth
Thanks for the video
How would you compare these to the triumph 20’s…?
They seem to be pretty similar
Thanks !
Triumph 20 much softer under step, and with more energy return. T20 is much higher on my list of shoes right now. Full review on demoorglobalrunning.com
@@SethJamesDeMoor thanks !
Would you go with Superblast or Nimbus 25 🤔🤔❤️✌️🏴
So wierd. All the other testers are saying the midsole foam is super soft. Deep sink in. Like equally soft to the fresh foam more.
Maybe you got a defect pair?
TOPPPPP
I rarely run longer than 350 miles with a pair of running shoes. I change them every 3 to 4 months. What signs do you see in a pair of running shoes that make you run with them 500-600 miles?
Retired my brooks around 1000miles
Strange to see you talk about the firmness of the midsole, I literally sink in to these. It could be because I wear a size 8 in mens at 5'9 and 165, but these are genuinely the softest running shoes I've ever ran in, and I've owned Cliftons, Machs, Vomeros, Pegasus's, Peg Turbos, Zoom Flys, and Wildhorses.
Missing your reviews Seth. Hope you're well
About to finish my first pair of Noosa 14 - which I loved for my long runs - worth buying again, or swap out for the Nimbus 25?
His review on the Noosa Tri 14 was spot on! I got two pair and considering a 3rd! Easily my favorite shoe of 2022
@@mazanek198585 I loved the shoe when it was brand new. A few miles running in them, they went very firm and dead. Did you felt the same?
@@genysmenrunner1677 typical Asics the shoe is definitely more firm than many other brands, but I enjoy the closer to ground feel even though I’m not sure that’s what they were going for. I do agree with what you are saying by going “dead” quick.
@@mazanek198585 I also enjoy the ground feel, if it just stayed that good feeling at least 150miles would be awesome! Thanks
QD: I’m determined to break 2 hours in half marathon. I know this is routine to most people here but its a challenge for me.
Comfort only 6/10 for a max cush and expensive shoe? Brutal.
As a bigger runner, I find the show to be quite bouncy on my first run. Loving the tide, but that tongue is TOO stretchy. Not a dealbreaker, but I’ve never had a tongue like this.
Qod absolutely determined to move the family to the mountains.
Qualify for Boston in the 70+ age group..
How would these be compared to the new Brooks Glycerin?
I find it WAY Better
Jefferson’s song!
Are you measuring the stack yourself or using mfg numbers? I've been measuring my shoes and they're often far off from spec
Asics was known to reveal only the midsole thickness as opposed to other shoes manufacturers.However now they comply to industrial standard specs which demands the stack height measurement should include out+mid+inner sole. Hope this helps.
@@prabhakarshankar9170 thanks but I knew this anout Asics. I was referring to how advertised stack is often off from real measurements across all brands. Metaspeed, Glideride 3, and Endo Pro 3 were close for me while Novablast 2 was 6mm less and Tempo Next% was 8mm less. That's a huge difference.
Wish the NOVABLAST came in wide.
True to size?
If a shoe does twist does that mean it’s more of a stable shoe? I know this is classified as a neutral.
I have three "shoetubers" I watch, of which you are obviously one. And, this review is a perfect example of why it's helpful to get different perspectives. You are almost certainly the lightest, most efficient of those runners. So, two of the distinct properties of this shoes that you commented on got diametrically opposite comments from a heavier runner and a female runner. 1.) The tongue was adored. So, the shoe you were thinking of with the similar tongue is the Asics Nimbus 24 - previous version. I kind of agree with you on the tongue. I don't mind it once I'm going but it does NOT make it easy to get the shoe on. I find myself yanking it. 2.) The heavier runner felt this Nimbus was wonderfully soft. I am DEFINITELY heavier than you. And I find the previous Nimbus to be quite soft. I'm actually a big fan of it for a variety of my runs. Definitely not intervals but cruising miles. Where I'm keeping the HR in the 120 zone, it's very comfortable. So, here's where I have to triangulate. I agree with you on the tongue. Will I agree on the durometer?
BTW: I got the Nimbus 24 on sale for $93. If there's a shoe you REALLY want - just earmark it. Wait until the end of the year. The chances are very high it'll go on sale. This industry relies very heavily on hyping what's newest. But, if a shoe was wonderful and perfect and beautiful in every way 11 months ago, chances are it'll still be all those things at the end of the year when they're clearing it out for the newest version.
I too, Adam.., am a frugal, heavier runner. great comment
If I can get a discount due to my job, would you recommend this shoe?
@@KozyGamer15 I would. It’s not exciting but it’s incredibly comfortable and not that clunky all things considered
Worth pointing out this shoe could get you DQ of any world athletics sanctioned event as the stack height measures over 40mm. Just don't use it for your goal Marathon in which you're looking for a Boston time or something to be safe.
Personally I luv the firmer shoes. The have ALWAYS lasted longer for me. And as to the weight of the shoe, of course it's a bit heavier, they stuffed it with support. More support=more weight. As a daily trainer this is exactly what u want in a shoe.
I have my Adistar and have 1000 kms and is fine
And cost only 130$ and you could find for 90/100$
QOD: I am going to race a marathon at some point this year. I have been trying since 2019, but between COVID shutdowns and then a slew of injuries I have yet been able to complete this goal.
Nimbus Lite 3 Tongue
In Europe it's 200USD
You Cra Cra. Thats the best tongue of ALL Time.
I also don’t like this shoes tongue. Bites my instep and doesn’t lock down well. Also not a big fan of the eyelet chain either. I do like the ride, though, and yes it’s not soft, but it is springy, which I LOVE. If they can just fix the upper for the 26, it’ll be perfect
In my opinion the Nimbus 25 is not an updated Nimbus 24 but an entirely different shoe. I tried a pair of the Nimbus 25 in the shop and put them straight back on the shelf. I'd rather buy the Nimbus 24. Very dissapointed with the direction Asics has taken with this shoe.
I pre-ordered this shoe, thinking that I would get marshmellowy underfoot feel like I did from Nike Zoomx Invincible. Well, I am a bit concerned to hear the shoes provide hard feel. 🙄😒
I did the same. Check out reviews from belive in the run. They say its just as soft if not softer than the more V4. Like i said in my comment, shoes can feel very different from person to person. Im also 6'2 and 160 so ill probably get much more squish out of this shoe than seth did.
@@dmac6119 I wouldn’t go by BITR. They work with ASICS and are trying to sell you ASICS shoes.
I wouldn't be too concerned especially if you're in warmer conditions. I think Seth is experiencing a mix between a cold foam and him being too small to feel it. But it won't be as squishy as the invincible, or the NB More v4
@Nolan McKenna Oh, I see your point. Well, since I had my 5th metatarsal repair surgery 3 months ago, I need super soft cushioned shoes. I am living in somewhat warm area (Texas), but I haven't got a big physical figure. Well...hope I like the ride of this shoe though. Otherwise, I'll return them, because it is a hefty price for me. 😑😑
@@itsahardmuttlife9263 😨😨
Based on the comments and other reviews, the actual score should be 8.5/10. 6 is too low from what your video and others had said about the shoe.
This shoe could last 1,000 miles
This shoe has a 6/10 value
Seems a bit harsh, huh?
Absolutely going to watch more DGR!!!!
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!!!!
If these shoes get a nike logo, you give 10 points.
QD: Run a mile under 4:30 ! (Current Mile PR is 4:30 haha)
It looks like seth reviewed a different shoe 😂, thats what I like, seth is independent, asics really invest on marketing on this one, all the reviews you see on the internet ara bias as hell
Every review on these I’ve watched has said they are so soft and cushy. He’s saying they are really firm … hmmmm 🤔
I think many reviewers essentially recycle the opinion of others without providing a genuine review. Once the first couple reviews hit YT the others simply repackage such opinions.
After having the durometer scale, Seth relies too much on the durometer numbers and I think sometimes he ignores his own feelings about the midsole. He measured the outer wall of the midsole, which was made firmer for durability, but failed to mention about the gel and softer midsole compound at the core.
In other words, he may feel the shoe as soft when he uses them, but when looking at the durometer number he trust the numbers more, probably not aware that the center part of the midsole is different.
Dude literally got paid to hate on the shoe. I’ve had the shoe, it’s literally one of the softest shoes out there.
I think this price point is just too high. I’m out on this one until it comes down about $40
Seth the only person I’ve seen who doesn’t like that tongue
Interesting Jake, thanks for the insight.
QD: BQ, it will take at least 5 years but I will make it
These shoes are great but they overheat a lot. Like an oven on my feet.
Everyone else talks about how soft this is and praises the tongue. First I'm hearing it's not soft and tongue is... Problematic?
They took out the gel in the forefoot, so I will not buy this shoe. I will buy the 24, since it has gel in the heel and forefoot.
First
2nd
Third
outsole 9/10?? wut? it clearly will start balding after 100m :(
I’ve never had issues with Asics outsole wear. Most of my asics shoes easily go 500+ miles with minimal outsole wear
this model is very different, look how its the first time AHAR is NOT on the outside heel strike zone.
AHAR+
it actually has AHAR on BOTH heel rubber strips, this video said it was just the medial rubber that had AHAR+ but as normal its two pieces per heel (remember way back when it was three pieces of AHAR...)
Break a 20 minute 5k for the 1st time this Sunday 1/22/23.
Would like to know how these would stack up against the NB3's.
I am determined to be healed from the Virus so I can return to work. I got infected last Thursday and still weak to move around. Stay Safe Alwayz 🙏
NB 3? More v3.... Or .....?
@@SethJamesDeMoor Would you say the Nimbus 25 is more comfortable than the NovaBlast 3?
Me too, I love the NovaBlast 3s but would prefer a little more stability and I wonder if these Nimbus 25s offer that
Another observation is that how would the Nimbus 25 stack up against the ZoomX Invincible 3?
