With an attractive design and unbeatable comfort, as well as top-quality materials and finishes, the NIMBUS 26 stands out mainly for these three details:
- Su cushioningThanks to its PureGEL technology which absorbs impacts, reducing pressure on joints and the FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, giving extra cushioning for harder surfaces

- Su template OrthoLite X-55 offering better moisture control

Conclusions
Ideal for those who They are looking for comfort and stability for their long training runs. or regenerative training, of course the brand's premium model for this.
How to Live Aligned with point to improve, and after testing them in a long run in relative heat, we believe that there could still be a small margin in the issue of “breathability” for hot or humid days, or perhaps they could simply design the same model in a “summer” version, with a insole and upper fabric with greater breathability for summer training.
At the level of design and quality of the materials seem spectacular to us, where they have taken care of every detail, both in the sole, shoe fabric, ankle adjustment and tongue... we do not see a single detail to improve.
Nimbus 26 is a model designed for neutral runners and supinators looking for stability and that they run at medium paces and, as we said before, ideal for long shoots, calm rhythms or regenerative training.
We found it lovely.
