ASICS Men’s GEL-NIMBUS 20
The ASICS GEL-NIMBUS 20!
- ASICS has fixed the fit issues (narrow and short) that plagued the GEL-NIMBUS 19
- The upper has been redesigned to be slightly lighter with fewer overlays
- The redesigned upper provides slightly more room in the toebox and creates a wider shoe overall
- The midsole has not been changed, but the result of the upper and sock liner changes has made the shoe more responsive, faster (and less cushioned)
- While pre-production and review models may have felt as cushioned as Nimbus 19s (or reviewers have been downplaying the change), the production version of the 20 is significantly less soft.
