ASICS Nimbus Mirai
Circular-design spin on the Nimbus built for recyclability: uniform single-polyester upper with no overlays and a special ASICS adhesive so sole and upper can be separated for take-back recycling. Ride is familiar soft Nimbus-style cushioning (FF Blast Plus Eco) for easy miles. Buy it for the sustainability story; skip it if you want maximum performance per dollar, since it launched at a premium over the standard Nimbus with limited distribution.
Reach for the ASICS Nimbus Mirai for everyday training miles and easy recovery days. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
