The GEL-Nimbus has always worked for my foot, not against it - like other brands I've tried. I like that this neutral sho works with my wider toebox. That's why I stick with it - even through the design iterations I don't always like. This latest model is ok. I was worried the cushioning would be too much. It took some getting used to but isn't a detriment. The woven upper is too stretchy; my toes will break through much faster on this model than the older ones. The shoe looks good. I like the monotone color which is a neutral gray and goes with everything. And FINALLY - the shoelace length is appropriate to this shoe. I vowed to never by another ASICS shoe if they once again gave me an one-size-fits-all lace that is feet too long. Overall - not perfect, but my feet ...

I really like the ASICS Nimbus 26 Celebration of Sport. They are very comfortable, with soft cushioning that makes long-distance running more manageable. The design is attractive, and the bold colors give them a special touch that stands out. I love how they combine support, style, and those vibrant colors. I would recommend them to anyone looking for comfortable shoes with a distinctive design.

I was looking for a pair of shoes that I could wear walking long distances daily whilst holidaying in Japan, and I'm so happy I chose the Gel-Nimbus 26. The cushioning in this shoe is next level. I went from a sedentary 9-hr per day job to walking 20-25k steps per day, and it's no exaggeration that I did not get even 1 blister. I was anticipating sore feet just because of the extreme uplift in daily activity levels, but I didn't have sore feet at all! Could not recommend more highly.

I had a great experience with Brooks running shoes but wanted to try something new. I got measured in the store and after buying the shoe, upon my first run (only made a half mile and then unable to proceed) I experienced a good amount of foot pain in my fore foot, on top of that the pull tab/loop on the back heel rubs against your back heel so you get a good amount of abrasion - this results in bloody heels if you wear no-show level socks. This was basically a nightmare on the feet, on top of that I learned ASICS does not back up their products - unlike Brooks which they give you 90 days to try their shoes and you can return them for any reason. This was my first and last experience with ASICS.
I have run in ASIC Nimbus for over 20 years! There were times when I tried other shoes but always went back to ASIC. My job was coaching marathon runners for at least 10 years and have run 25 marathons .This newest pair I bought has so much awesome cushioning and more toe room for my wide feet. My feet have spread over the years! The new colors are amazing and matches a lot of different running clothes. I cannot say anything negative about this shoe!!!
I first started wearing Nimbus in 2005, right up until 2018 it was my everyday running shoe but some of the technical changes didn't suit my feet anymore. It has become a very different shoe to the nimbus of the past and a few previous models just weren't for me. Fast forward to the Nimbus 26 Paris and this model fits like a glove, the inner sock is a great addition and the cushioning is fab. I'm yet to up my mileage at present but l've been enjoying 5-6mile runs in these shoes with my legs feeling fresh after and ready for the next run.
“This shoe offers extra comfort! With a higher midsole made from FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, you get exceptional cushioning in a lightweight design. The Nimbus 26 upper includes a thin, stretchy tongue that wraps snugly around your foot, enhancing comfort with every step.The updated outsole features ASICSGRIP™ for improved traction, and the integrated PureGEL technology adds extra cushioning, making each stride smoother than ever.”
My sister recommended these shoes to me after seeing a TikTok review about them and after finding out I have plantar fasciitis. I have been a long distance runner for over two decades and this has started causing pain when I run because I've been overusing my feet. All the shoe brands I have tried seemed to work at first but then end up causing foot pain after a while. These shoes have absolutely been a savior. I started running again because my feet no longer hurt. I am also a nurse so I have to be on my feet for long periods at a time so now I am able to do it comfortably.

I love the sneakers but I will never buy two light colored sneakers again. They are dirty after wearing them two times and worse by the fourth wearing. Very, very comfortable. I will buy black next time or dark navy if available. They are pretty wide and accept orthotic inserts easily. I wear a 7.5 with inserts. I normally buy wide. These wear instantly comfortable. No pain in my feet after walking all day. Expensive sneakers to be dirty so easily.
