Different Than Previous Nimbus Models, But Also Better,
The Nimbus 12 is new for 2010 and is a worth successor to the brilliant Nimbus 11. If you are a neutral runner (with maybe slightly higher arches) that optimizes for comfort over distance ahead of absolute speed this is a excellent shoe for you or at least a excellent shoe for you to train in to dodge injuries.
The Nimbus line is one of Asics franchise shoes; it is at the higher end of cost and purpose made for in succession. Note that there is small lateral support, so if you are thwart-training in other sports you may need another pair of shoes. The Nimbus is particularly well suited for high-mileage runners (those in succession 25 miles or more a week) and those with a “neutral” gate and slightly higher arches – there is superior cushioning for the arches.
For background, I am 6’1″, 175, and run three to six miles several days a week – 2/3rds of the time on a treadmill and 1/3 of the time outside. Some seasons I kick up the miles for a marathon, but in general in succession is part of a thwart training program. I have traditionally, oscillated between New Balance and Asics, but tend to favor Asics (in part because the numbering system used by New Balance makes it more challenging to find the same types of shoes from year to year). The Nimbus 12s are probably my 5th or 6th iteration with the Nimbus line.
When you first see these in person you will notice two changes from previous versions:
1. more flash
2. an asymmetrical lacing pattern
The toe caps and parts of the shoe are shiny and look jazzier (to some maybe more expensive) than previous versions. The asymmetrical lacing pattern means that the laces follow an angle from the front of the shoe to the back, rather than the habitual parallel line (along the middle) from front to back. In theory this is to follow the contour of your foot more closely for comfort. Personally, I cannot feel a real difference, but I don’t guarantee my laces very tightly either, and the tongue of the shoe tends to provide enough cushion from the laces. Would rate this as much marketing as a regard add feature.
The real difference from earlier versions is evident when you place them on. Instead of your foot sitting on a habitual wedge of foam, your heel really sinks lower into the footbed of the shoe. At first they feel nearly a small huge, like you are wearing a low top shoe that comes up to your ankle and is also one size too large. But your foot also feels like you just slid into a well fitted shoe – weird paradox that is a small disorienting…until you go for a run.
In succession is where these really stand out. If you are looking for cushioning, these are the softest version of the Nimbus yet. In succession on a treadmill or anything small of hard cement and you will feel like you are in succession on soft earth. Not so soft that you feel like you are in succession on sand, but soft earth – like a well kept grass soccer field. The clunky suspicion that you felt in first trying them on disappears and they feel fantastic. You can run many miles and your feet still feel excellent. On the flip side, if you feel that the cushioning robs you of energy, then would suggest another shoe.
Two asides: (1) if you are new to Asics, most people order one size larger than their road shoe – ie, if you where a 10 in regular shoes, you may need and 11 and (2) maybe in the minority on this, but I continue to be bothered that the stock insoles on the Nimbus are pathetic. For a shoe you are investing more than $120 in, the insoles are barely better than cardboard. But nearly all in succession shoes suffer from this issue, so I am not deducting a star for this.
In summary, if you like the Asics feel, these are significantly different from previous iterations externally and internally, but an brilliant shoe overall.
Hope this review helps you.

|New on Asics, quite impressed.,
First of all let me start telling you that I’m new to the Asics Brand. I did the terrible mistake of believing all in succession shoes were similar, consequently didn’t pay much attention to brand, just a right fit for my underpronation.
And Yes, what I mistake I made.
I’m not a marathoner or intend to be, I compartmentalize myself as an individual who tries to have a somewhat healthy or active lifestyle and not be surprised by a sensitivity attack in my mid 40′s.
I jog around 6 kms (3.7 miles) per day and wear out my in succession shoes approximately each 6 months (my last pair was a NB 767).
Been suspicion a bit of pain in my lower back and knee in the last couple of months, so a friend of mine recommended changing to a cushioning type of in succession shoe.
After doing my internet research, I stumbled upn the Asics Nimbus 12 model, and got some fantastic reviews of it.
So I took the chance and ordered them.
The minute I tried them on, I felt amazingly well, my feet felt like cuddled, supported and cushioned. Then I went out and did my day after day jog.
Not only I got less tired, but felt no pain.
So, considering that I’m not into fads or anything like that, I strongly recommend this par of in succession shoes if u haven’t made up your mind.
I know that my next pair of shoes will be Asics Nimbus….
