We say: The updated Nimbus retains the cushioning its fans have come to expect, but its stability has been significantly upgraded. This is due to several new overlays (welded, not stitched) on the upper, and Asics's Space Trusstic System that supports the midfoot and positions the foot for a more secure toe-off. RW Shoe Lab tests showed the shoe's new super-lightweight Solyte midsole foam to be firmer than earlier versions. Recommended for runners with normal arches looking for a well-cushioned shoe. Available June 1.
Wear-testers say: "A very cushioned, comfortable shoe." --Scott LaPrath, 42, San Diego "It was fairly supportive for a cushioning shoe." --Warren Krueger, 22, East Lansing
