I got them in cream/fawn and I'm loving the comfort. I'm 7 weeks out from the Brooklyn Half and using these to safely increase my mileage while protecting my old legs on recovery/easy runs. White and Island Blue/Sun Peach (the color Fordy has in the video) are my favorite colorways. The "secret" colorway is my absolute favorite though. I am obsessed with these shoes and wear them pretty much everywhere at this point.
Agree with you! I am also used to lighter shoes such as mach 5 and endorphin speed, but I am really enjoying nimbus 25. And I will add that in some runs I had some speed intervals and they performed very well too.
I love running in my Nimbus 25, very comfortable and use them for recovery and slower paces, for faster paces i use the Novablast 3 ;)
I bought mine for 180€ (with discount, online store), i have the Nimbus 25 Platinum version colorway, couldn´t resist the color 🤩
Cheers from Portugal!
PINK RAVE 😍!!! Now I need pink gloves . Indeed the most comfortable for easy - recovery - long runs. Agree with others on doing speed work with the NovaBlast 3. Both of these shoes are still holding up for me too. Thank you for your reviews.
I have the Aquarium/Vibrant Yellow. I love the wild color and the comfort. I’m a heavier runner so the extra cushion even though heavier feels more stable for me.
I use it in my rotation for effortless recovery runs. Very much fit for this particular purpose. Could probably do long runs in it, but I’ve been using the Glideride 3 for that.
I got mine in the “lime zest” colorway. You can’t miss me on the streets. 😉 Agree with everything you said-they’re so comfortable that I find myself reaching for them on almost every run. I even love the strange, super-stretchy tongue.
Exactly!!
Thanks for this information about the nimbus 25. Here is my like. A nice monday for everyone. 🌞🏃🌞
So nice of you
Great shoe,I have the Lime/zest use most of the time,and swap out with my Novablast 3's for some quicker runs 😍
Great informative review. Im using Asics NB3 and Sauc Endorphin shift 2, but looking for a softer option for long runs. I see them for $119 so I think you convinced me to go for it. Thanks for the review!
I love the Nimbus25. I don’t mind the weight (257g in Women’s size US8 Wide). It’s soft but not mushy, very comfortable. I even prefer these over EndorphinSpeed 1,2&3 (which are lighter and with a nylon plates) on my easy run.
Great video Fordy. Tempted to buy it the only that has stopped me is the price. Three shoes that I am considering is the nimbus 25 either the Adidas pro 3 or the saucony pro 3
Just got a pair on Saturday and about to start putting miles in them 🙌
enjoy
been waiting for this :)
Thanks for being patient
Totally agree. Bought mine on your recommendation a few months back on one of the live cast.
Done 117 miles in them so far and couldn't agree more with what you say, they are so comfortable and great under foot. Did my longest ever run a few weeks back at 18.25 miles and my legs were fine the next day.
Agree re speed work but I've loads of shoes for that, Loving the Saucony pro2 for that bur have bought some of the bargain deviate nitro elites too. You're killing my bank balance 😂😅
Sorry mate 🤣
@FORDY RUNS my feet love you, but my wife hates you 🤪
My previous shoes was the Nimbus 24 ( wide 2E ) .After purchasing the new Nimbus 25 ( wide 2E) ,you can tell the huge different . With the Nimbus 25 you can feel almost a plush cushion sensation on your foot & much more softer ride . The shoe fits my profile since i am focusing more on long slow distance run. I really wish Asics can offer an all black colour way nimbus 25 (wide 2E) . I can use it for work.
its so good
Great shoe, bought the first pair true to size but found that both of the big toes starting to hit the front of shoes after 3 miles on each run. Decided to go half size up in the triple grey colorway 🐺 and it’s a lot better now.
glad you sorted it
Ditto here on the glideride 4. I tested the nimbus 25 in store, side by side with my trusty glideride 3; it is so comfy than the glideride! but i'm still waiting what'll they do with the next glideride. And with the current trend of asics releasing LE versions of novablast and kinsei blast, I hope glideride and nimbus gets the same treatment.
Obviously not a speed shoe, but for the everyday/easy/recovery/long runs it’s a solid 9.5/10 for me. I’ve been dealing with a left ankle injury that turned into pretty much an entire left leg injury over the past few months. The comfort and stability in the shoe is amazing, and not overly heavy at 8.5 oz in my US women’s 7.5. Did my first easy 5 miler in them today and was completely pain free. Only thing I don’t like is the outsole gets a little slippery in wet conditions. I’m converted to ASICS after this.
Great running shoe, been using it for all my longs miles training for the London marathon. I got the black/ lime zest colour. Don’t notice the weight to be honest.
Yeah same here
I went for the bright yellow colourway and really like them, so comfy but wouldn't use them for anything but an easy run, my head has been turned by the new On Cloud Surfer which are game changing for the brand, first run was a 12 mile marathon pace (7.23) run and they aced it but were so comfy on the easy warm up and cool down too, also £150!
interesting thanks for sharing martin ...
I’m having a difficult time deciding between Nimbus 25 and On Cloud Surfer 7. Any reviews for the On coming soon? I respect your reviews on the latest shoes!!
Wanted to love this shoe, looks beautiful and it’s very comfy walking around, but unfortunately something about the size of the shoe maybe didn’t work for me. Joints were in pretty bad pain after running in them
Mate you are spot on. They are very stripey at 170 quid. Always a bonus to get 10% off, many thanks.
But I live near Gunwharf outlet in Pompey and just might wait until they come into the Ascics store. I will have to make do with the NovaBlast 3's.
Cheers.
Good lad
Think you'll be waiting a while!
Done 30k in mine. Super soft, using for easy runs only. Heaviest shoe I use by some margin, but doesn't feel 300g. I do suffer hot spots on soles of one foot (I'm under 65kg). They are stable compared to my 'super shoes', despite the softness. Got for under £150! Hoping the outer sole lasts.
sole so far ok on mine
As long as I get the value that I paid for I'm good. How could you not be? This is my favorite at the moment. Definitely worth the price of entry.
100% matt
Went to local run store yesterday and tried on the Nimbus 25 and NB More v4 and preferred the NB to the Nimbus, but both of them felt too lose in terms of lock down. The Nimbus felt sorta dead, while the More v4 had more response and energy return. Decided to get Saucony Ride 16 instead.
Great shoe
@@FordyRuns today, I retired my Novablast 3s with only 318 miles on them. I took Novablast 1 and 2 to 620+ miles, but v3 feels dead and is really falling apart in the foot pod foam. First run in the Ride 16 will be tomorrow AM. The Ride feels A LOT like the Kinvara on foot, but has a much more durable outsole. Can't wait for the morning to get here :)
cant agree more, did 100km in it, i use it to pamper my legs on recovery days, great cushinining, im not happy with glide ride 3 as it is a stiffer foam with flytwfoam
yeah its like a nice bed for your legs
Two of my fav shoes at the moment are the ASICS GlideRide 2 (for my long runs), and the Nike Invincible Run v2 (for my recovery runs). Sounds like this would sit somewhere in the middle of those two. Interesting....
or replace both???
@@FordyRuns that's what I'm thinking. Very interesting shoe. Thanks for the review!
If I'm looking for a shoe to absorb impact and make for a cushy run (heavier new runner here), should I get these or the Glideride 3?
Did a 10 miler on Saturday and I love them but just wish they were a little more breathable.
I wear 11.5 but man they felt super snug/tight but I’m sure after 20 miles or so they’ll loosen up?
Light tan Color way 🙌🏽
Interesting thank you!
My prediction for Glideride 4: full FF Blast+ with Guidesole tech, like a road version of the Trabuco Max 2. I hope it doesn't gain weight. Also, looking at the Cumulus 25. At about 62kg, Nimbus might be more shoe than I need.
Let’s see
Not looking likely that we're getting to get either the new GR3 colourways the US have or a GR4 🥲
Can get them for £125 now. You've talked me into a pair Fordy
They’re £97 now!
Appreciate the review. Is the Nimbus 25 as stable as the Shift 3 (my current long run shoe)?. I like a stable ride.
Yep I love it
Nice and comfortable. Upper is ridiculously hot though and they weigh a ton! I'm flicking between these and the Glideride 3 for my long run days 👌🏻 I went for the black with green & yellow colourway
i like that colourway
would it be terrible to wear in tropical climates? I live in Singapore and it's always hot here.
@@daniaaal I don't want to put you off buying them obviously because you may absolutely love running in them, but my experience and I've also seen others complain that they also find the upper makes their feet very hot. I'm in the UK and I wear thin socks with them as it just isn't a Breathable upper in my opinion. It is a really good fit on the foot which helps make it very comfy to walk or run in but in a tropical environment I honestly think you'll have the same issues with making your feet very hot. I'd suggest wearing them around the house for a few hours to see how you get on, that way if you find they are no good at least you could return them as you wouldn't have worn them outside
@@daniaaal I live in singapore as well and I got a pair of these a week ago. And it’s just amazing. 🤩
Nimbus 25 now going for £97. Surely worth a punt at that price? I prefer max cushioned trainers. I’ve previously been running in hoka clifton 6 and 8 but now need a replacement. I don’t generally run more than 5km.
Was deciding between this and the Novablast 3 TR. the NB3 felt more comfortable on foot. This felt heavy and less snug.
they are heavy but so comfy
I have Nimbus25 and Novablast3 .. good rotation shoes
Try Superblast
I got the new Kayano, I miss the previous version more solid. The front rocker puts a tension on the toes at rest.
version 30?
I have about 130 in the 29. First pair. Idk if I love them. With all the super foam up front it feels like a bit of a wobbly blob sometimes.
@@infinityfitSpokane exactly they just wanted to market the shoe like every other shoe, plush, fun, lively...
@@FordyRuns 29. is there yet a 30? :)
I bought these, but I can't really run in them. They are just too cushioned. Yes, I think they are comfortable....for walking.I will use these for walking. 😊
Sorry to hear that
Too much cushion can be bad. Never got to like the Invincible 2 after doing a bit over 50km in them. It's like the cushioning worked against me
Lime/Zest ones for me 👍🏻 Love them - it’s in my rotation along with my NB RC elite 2, NB Supercomp and Saucony Speed 3
tasty colourway
Yes it’s heavy but people need to remember it’s a max cushion shoe. All max cushion shoes are heavy. I still have invincible V1’s but I’ll get these once those are finished
i prefer these to invincible
Not as heavy as this one. 😂
For similar prices, speed 3 or this one? Speed 3 seems more exciting but nimbus 25 seems more comfortable. Thanks.
This is much more comfy but can’t race in them
I think I’m on 85miles and the rubber is starting to flatten out by the middle forefoot gap/edges, and the outside heel edge
mine are ok
Living in Malaysia mostly tropical climate.Using this as my easy run shoe but can't take it over 15k.Its hell comfortable but the padding is excessive.Soaking wet every session of my long run.Also the weight will be your concern after 10k.Ended giving it to my father as his casual shoe & he love it
Sup bro dari malaysia juga. You prefer apa? Im planning on getting a pair hujung tahun ni on sales
Yup panas dia fuhh 🥵🥵 tapi for comfort sedap gile now dlm rotation dgn NB3, Triumph 20 and puma deviate nitro 2
@@kuku505if you can tahan dgn panas dia well depends gk, go for it but other alternative Saucony triumph 20 pn ok gk just drop dia 10mm bit high for me still good for daily trainer and slow day
@@Cornstarch999 mantap. Terima kasih bos. Amat dihargai
@@kuku505 sama² ✌🏻
i will wit and see if about the cumulus 25 which looks identical and $20 cheaper..
yeah that looks good
How is the Nimbus 25 against More v4, which midsole is more comfortable?
Nimbus better
With all the injuries and niggles I've racked up I'm definitely thinking about these. I like the triple black.
yeah thats the version i think i will get next

I went for the black milkyway midsole. I got TTS but too bad my foot cant stand the tightness. shouldve gone half size up. Too bad here in SIngapore you cant return adn exchange if you used it already. bummed.
nightmare!
Any good for stability shoe wearer? I am currently in guide 15
Not really
Not run in this one but you can pick up the Triumph 20 for as little as £108 which I do have and love and must be a comparable option Fordy?
Yep for sure ... I prefer these by T20 v good
Find the T20 very different to the N25. As a heavier runner Nimbus has better cushioning and rolls better for me. The T20 is great for walking but i don't enjoy running in them.
@@Fozzee.1970 hi John. Thanks for taking the time to reply. Always interesting to hear what other runners think of a shoe and you are well placed to comment owning both. I guess I’m biased as I’m a long term fan of the triumph series. I ran the Chicago marathon last year in my Triumph 20’s and they were a dream. Ian 🇬🇧
This one vs the Novablast 3?
I’d go with these BUT the middle ground could be the cumulus 25
Do you feel stable in the shoe? My invincble 2 are littlebit unstable for me
Yep
@@FordyRuns Okey thanks for the answer 😁 maybe have to buy them 😎
Very comfortable shoe BUT holy moly it's not one for warmer weather! I live in Bangkok and after about 10k my feet are blistering up due to the lack of breathability in the upper. Sucks because I love the shoe - if they made it a little more breathable I think it could justify the price tag.
Fordy, nimbus 25 or Glideride 3?
superblast
@@FordyRuns😂
Nimbus 25 or Novablast 3?
Right now nimbus
This shoes good for flat feet?
For someone that wears a size 12, it’s a boat of a shoe. It’s a heavy sucker.
I don't notice the weight but its only a 9.5
its big but don't find it too heavy I'm an 11.5 uk.
Nice but ill be waiting for a price drop!
100%
Really trying to like them... heavy firm and clunky .. Will keep trying a bit more...
See how you go
I don't like that you don't have any feeling of the floor
Probably the softest midsole out there. Perfect shoe for people on their feet all day
couldnt agree more
Great shoes but they overheat way to much. The are like an oven.
all white
🤍🤍🤍
nice
£140 on Sports Direct now, so you got your prayers answered!
Horrible shoe wore for 3 runs each time after 5k I have gotten blisters your feet can’t breathe in them there now I very expensive walking shoe would not recommend these to anyone
I didn't get any because I need a support show 😢
