Our verdict

Nimbus, from the Latin for rain, is usually used in reference to storm clouds that carry rain, sleet, or snow. Running in the ASICS Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р, however, is anything but stormy. Its generously padded upper cozily secures our foot in place while the truly cloud-like midsole provides a pillowy and bouncy ride that brings the fun to our daily runs. It’s certainly worth a splurge if comfort is top of the priority list when it comes to daily trainers.

Who should NOT buy

Our feet sank into the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р’s pillowy midsole too much for it to be an effective tempo-training partner. For a daily trainer that can pick up the pace while still feeling plush underfoot, we recommend the Brooks Ghost 15 or the plated Buty męskie sneakersy Asics Gel-Lyte III OG 1201A257 100 47 instead. 

We were disappointed by the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р’s performance in our breathability test. The shoe just doesn’t provide enough airflow to keep our feet ventilated during our test runs, with the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р becoming a virtual sweat-bucket by the end of runs on muggy summer days. For a shoe that melts miles and not feet, we recommend the similarly maximal zapatillas de running ASICS hombre trail talla 36 baratas menos de 60

Despite being named after what is essentially a storm cloud, the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р clearly isn’t built to withstand extreme weather. Apart from the less-than-stellar breathability we just mentioned, our freezer tests reveal that the shoe’s midsole softness and overall flexibility are more negatively impacted by the cold than the average road shoe. For runners living in colder climates, we recommend the Brooks Levitate 6 which, as our tests demonstrate, is virtually unaffected by the cold.

Cushioning

Heel stack

The Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р’s stated heel stack of 41.5 mm provided by ASICS puts the shoe beyond the maximum allowable specifications set by World Athletics for competition. However, using our calliper to measure the stack at the point set by that same commission, we found the stack to only be 38 mm high and still within competing range. 

ASICS Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р heel stack

Nonetheless the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р isn’t a shoe that’s geared for racing, which makes this huge stack that dwarfs that of the average road shoe purely pleasure over performance. This amount of foam underfoot means that heel strikers can really sink into and savour the midsole cushioning during their daily runs.

Forefoot stack

The shoe’s forefoot stack is also significantly taller than our current lab average, with 30.2 mm of foam underfoot. This is also slightly lower than the spec height of 33.5 mm as advertised by ASICS, a strange fact considering we also include the insole in our measurements. 

As a result, forefoot strikers also have plenty of protective foam underfoot to ensure well-dampened landings even during long haul efforts.

This mid-level drop is quite versatile and will suit the needs of runners of all experience levels and running styles.

Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р | Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

We pressed our durometer against the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р’s midsole to measure how soft it is. With a reading of only 18.6 HA, the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р’s midsole is decidedly plush compared to our current lab average. This in combination with the tremendous stack really heightens our sense of perceived cushioning, making the shoe feel extremely comfortable and protective over any distance. 

ASICS Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р mid dur

The midsole isn’t overly gummy either. While there is some sinking into the foam as we land, the midsole has a bouncy rebound which provides us with a good level of energy return that is adequate for most daily runs. 

At the same time, the Gel Nimbus is a little too soft to provide that explosive pop that facilitates speedy sessions or helps smash PBs. brand new with original box Asics GEL-CUMULUS 24 1011B366-400 fits that bill better with its Pebax plate providing a level of responsiveness that offsets its plush dual-density midsole.

Midsole softness in cold (%)

We placed the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р in our freezer to observe the effect of cold conditions on the shoe’s midsole. After chilling for twenty minutes, we took another durometer reading of the midsole foam and got a post-freezer reading of 25.4 HA. While this is quite a bit stiffer than the room temperature result, it’s still soft enough to provide us with a balanced level of cushioning that will keep our feet feeling comfortable and cared for even through the most bitterly cold winter runs.    

We expect midsole foams to harden in the cold, but becoming 36.3% more firm means that the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р isn’t as consistent as the average road shoe under similar conditions. This means that the difference in the shoe’s ride will be quite apparent for runners living in colder climates.

Even the shoe’s insole is thicker than average, measuring 5.5 mm according to our caliper measurements. This gives us an amply padded and soft surface within the shoe that further contributes to the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р’s cloud-like ride.

Using our caliper to measure the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р at its widest point, we found it to be narrower than average at 95.6 mm wide. This is quite a snug fit and puts the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р more reminiscent of tight performance shoes than the generous roominess we want from a daily trainer. On the other hand, the combination of a tight toebox and a wide midsole further factors into the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р’s stable underfoot sensation as it effectively locks the foot to the shoe’s robust base

ASICS Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р toebox

However, with the shoe running a little shoe for its size (260.4 mm vs the average of 265.3 mm for a men’s size 9), runners with wide feet should look into sizing up before abandoning hope on this shoe. 

Failing that, we recommend checking out the also well-cushioned zapatillas de running ASICS hombre trail talla 36 baratas menos de 60 with its amply spacious toebox.

Stability

Lateral stability test

We generally don’t expect much stability from shoes that sit on gargantuan stacks of plush foam like the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р. However, this shoe bucks the trend by feeling surprisingly well-planted as we shifted our weight from side to side.

As the japan tests will demonstrate; the combination of the shoe’s wide base, rigid build and snug heel counter come together to make the shoe feel reassuringly stable underfoot for neutral runners as well as those with mildly pronating strides.

Torsional rigidity

We faced quite a fair amount of resistance when we bent and twisted the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р in our hands, earning it a score of 4 out of 5 on our subjective scale for torsional rigidity. This isn’t unusual for a shoe with so much foam in the midsole, with the result being a midsole that resists the natural rolling and contortion of our foot during our stride.

This leaves us with a level and stable landing platform with the cushy midsole meaning we don’t have to sacrifice too much in terms of underfoot comfort.

Heel counter stiffness

We found the heel counter to be moderately stiff, putting up only a mild amount of resistance to us manually pinching and squeezing at it. This leads us to give the shoe a subjective score of 3 out of 5 for heel counter stiffness. This level of rigidity in the heel counter allows it to snugly hold our foot in place without squeezing in on our Achilles too tightly, allowing for some natural lateral movements.

Midsole width - forefoot

The biggest contributor to the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р’s stable ride is the fact that the midsole is girthy as well as tall. Measuring 119.4 mm at the forefoot according to our caliper, the shoe’s midsole is much wider than our current lab average. This hefty base made it feel like we were springing off massive clouds during our test runs, with no fear of being caught off balance and plummeting to the ground like Prometheus.

We secured the Nimbus 25 and used our machine to measure the amount of force needed to torque the shoe 30 degrees. With a result of 13.2N, the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р is a bit more flexible than our current lab average.

We also repeated the stiffness test after leaving the shoe in the freezer for twenty minutes, this time to see what effect the cold has on its overall flexibility. 

With a post-freezer requirement of 55.5N to bend the shoe to the desired point, the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р definitely won’t feel as comfortable during the winter or if left outside on a cool evening; with a stiff ride that feels more akin to running in a carbon-plated shoe.

Becoming 54.5% more stiff after our freezer test means that the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р doesn’t perform as consistently as the average road shoe between warm and cold conditions. This means that runners living in countries with significant changes in temperature between seasons will find the shoe much less forgiving on the foot during winter runs.

Weight

Despite skimping on outsole rubber as our previous sections demonstrates, the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р still weighs in at a heavier than average 10.2 Oz (289g). This isn’t devastatingly heavy though, and the shoe’s fluffy ride does help make it feel lighter than the scale suggests.

Breathability

We pumped the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р full of smoke to get a visual idea of how well-ventilated the shoe is. The upper looks airy thanks to all those perforations throughout the shoe, but the test clearly demonstrates that the tongue lets out the majority of the smoke while the rest of the shoe slowly chugs out a thin haze. This lacklustre performance indicates poor medial airflow, with the tongue providing the redemption needed to earn the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р a middle-of-the-road breathability score of 3 out of 5; explaining why we felt like we were running in a pair of toasters during our test runs. 

Check out the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р’s much breezier cousin, the Asics Tiukka Finish Advantage which absolutely aced our test by billowing out smoke quickly and evenly throughout the shoe.  

Examining a cross section of the upper over a light, we can see that it is only able to shine through the holes in the tongue while the rest of the upper material seemingly blocks it out entirely. 

The shoe’s ample padding and multi-layered upper mesh are the clear culprits of the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р’s poor airflow. While these elements contribute to the shoe’s overall comfort, it does come at the cost of making the shoe a toasty training partner that we wouldn’t recommend for hot summer runs.

Durability

Outsole hardness

We pressed our durometer against the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р’s AHARPLUS outsole to measure how hard the it is and got a marginally softer than average reading of 78.4 HC. In our examination of outsole materials in the lab so far, we’ve found that this level of hardness provides a healthy balance between hard and durable versus soft and grippy.

Outsole thickness

Using our calliper, we measured the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р’s outsole to be 2.9 mm thick which isn’t as much rubber as the average road shoe tends to have underfoot. Minimising the amount of rubber, both in terms of thickness and total coverage, is an effective weight-saving measure that helps keep the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р feeling cloud-like rather than brickish underfoot. 

On the other hand, this does give us less material to wear through and, given the somewhat soft rubber, means that we do expect to see some damage to the outsole after 400-miles of slapping asphalt.

Tongue padding

Further contributing to the Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р’s performance-shoe-feel is its paper-thin tongue, which we measured to be a mere 1.9 mm thick. This is barely any padding compared to the average road shoe, let alone daily trainers, and means that the laces did feel quite apparent over our instep, especially during our longer test runs. 

ASICS Кросівки asics gel-kayano trainer evo оригінал 41р 41.5 р tongue

While we would have appreciated a little more padding to avoid that annoying lace bite, ASICS does manage to effectively keep some weight off of what is already a heavier than average road shoe. Difficult trade-offs just have to be made sometimes.
