2023 was a big year for Asics' Gel franchise, with the Gel-Kayano and the Gel-Nimbus both celebrating a big anniversary (30th and 25th, respectively). As expected, this year's iterations of the Japanese brand's immensely popular trainers aren't as revolutionary as they were last year, and there is nothing wrong with that.
That said, the Asics Gel-Nimbus 26 is a nifty little update over its predecessor, the fab Asics Gel-Nimbus 25, and offers better traction and midfoot lockdown while providing just as much cushioning for the same price as before. What's not to like?
