I used to be a lifelong Asics consumer, now that they are making the Gel Nimbus with sock type Upper/Vamp I will no longer support the Asics brand.

Absolutely ruined this shoe comparison to the Nimbus 25!!!
The toe feels like you are jabbing the ground as you run .
This is supposed to be a mid foot strike comfortable shoe for long distance and the new 26 is absolutely not that . Don't waste your money if you think this is the same shoe and purchase the 25 at a discount

I wanted to love these so much, but it's the worst feeling Nimbus I have ever tried. This is the tightest 4E shoe I've ever put on my foot. The "sock-like" liner is a not-so stretchy material that squeezes the entire foot. Even with the laces removed, it's still a VERY tight fit. I know it is a new shoe, but I don't know if mine was a factory defect and they sent me a D width with a 4E label, or what? Also the ankle collar is an odd design. It's like it clamps the back half of the ankle, but then there is nothing holding the front part of the ankle area. I've had other Asics that have a form fit cushion around the ankle, but this would not let my foot sit low enough to wrap around the ankle - Almost as if the measurements were for a size 9 or 10, but left the same and not proportionate for my size 16. It you are the slightest bit claustrophobic, pass on this shoe. If you can try it on BEFORE ordering a pair sight unseen, I would 100% recommend doing that. I'm going back to the Brooks Ghost.

This shoe is great! Great cushioning and arch support. The toe box allows the toes to naturally spread as you walk.
I'd also recommend:
Hoka and Brooks.

I was very happy with my Nimbus 24s and looked around quite a bit to find other options including NB 1080 v13, but nothing beat the plushness of Nimbus. The shoes fit like my favorite/comfortable tshirt. Both the midsole and the upper are extremely comfortable and soft. Normally I am 10.5 and they felt tighter, so I had to exchange for 11. Zappos customer support was excellent for the exchange. I highly recommend Nimbus as well as Zappos.

Size was okay. I would have preferred a 10 wide (not available) instead of 10 1/2.

Loved the 25s, 26 are even better, feel slightly less plush, but just as comfortable and the big difference is, I can do speed workouts with the 26s and they still feel light on my feet, but the entire reason I bought these was for my daily training and mileage not necessarily for speed, but it’s nice to be able to do both, I feel that the 26s have more of a rocking motion which helps on the easy runs and surprisingly they feel like a 9 1/2 ounce shoe to me even though they’re about an ounce heavier the 25s felt heavier for some reason, Asics did a great job with his shoe. I’m looking forward to next year‘s version.

This shoe is beyond comfortable. Bought for my husband who is very particular about his shoes. This shoe is very cushioned and offers great support in the heel, plantar and sides. The back has a loop to help put the shoe on which is very helpful for us that are aging into our 50s. My wife is going to buy a pair now!

Bought for husband. He liked the shoe overall but felt the extra-wide would be a better choice for him. Will order again when extra-wide is available again.

Beautiful shoe. I thought I would never change from my HOKA Bondi’s. The Nimbus 26 has more cushion, is lighter and extremely comfortable.

Very comfortable, and light in weight. I orginally ordered per the Zappos recommendation but they were too small; 1/2 size larger was perfect. I am trying these versus Hoka Bondis which I have worn for years. These seem much lighter but the test will be to get out and use them.
I'd also recommend:
