This shoe is the background character that holds the entire film collectively. Not the flashy famous person, however the reliable one who at all times exhibits up, hits their mark, and by no means misses a cue, even in the event you’re by no means precisely thrilled to see them on display screen.
So what’s modified on this max-cushion workhorse? Not a lot, and that’s very a lot the purpose. The midsole stays FlyteFoam Blast+, with a towering 43.5 mm stack within the heel and 35.5 mm within the forefoot for an 8 mm drop. Underfoot, the acquainted mixture of AsicsGrip and AHAR+ rubber returns, delivering the identical predictable sturdiness and traction as earlier than.
The updates are refined and principally confined to the higher: a barely much less padded, extra elastic tongue, and a lighter, extra breathable mesh general. Probably the most significant change, although, is weight. My US W7.5 suggestions the size at 8.2 ounces, about half an oz lighter than the Nimbus 27.
So the query is straightforward: is that this marginally lighter land cruiser well worth the premium value, or must you seize the Nimbus 27 whereas it’s on sale? Let’s get into it.
