Asics Gel Nimbus 12

Asics Gel-Nimbus 12 Product Review | Running Shoes

by Jay

Now entering its 12 edition, the Asics Nimbus 12 has quite a bit to offer. It remains to be a sturdy, mid-weight cushion shoe, in addition to adding a feature such as the guidance line, made for a much effective gait. The cushioning in the midsoles of this running shoe has been specified with the individual’s weight in mind. In addition, The Nimbus 12 has a gender specific forefoot cushioning mechanism, so that female runners absorb a greater impact, along with enduring a bit more bounce.

The Nimbus 12 acts like running on clouds (hence the name given). With the specs of an 11.9 oz (Men’s) and 9.8 oz (Women’s), this sets the tone for high quality performance and plenty of cushioning. Loyal runners keep their updates with the Nimbus, year after year, model after model, for reasons that it has always been the great, soft cushioning provided by the Nimbus. The cushioning is mainly provided by the use of the Gel technology.

What is the Brooks equivalent to the Asics Gel Nimbus 12?

Sep 24, 2010 by Chad P | Posted in Running

The Gel Nimbus 12 is pretty much Asics flagship running shoe. What would be a comparable shoe from Brooks?

Just looking at the shoe I would say the Adrenalines, this is the Brooks shoe I see most often and wear myself. I love them, their amazing, been wearing them 5 years now.
