Today at RUNNEA, we put on our shoes to compare two cushioned running shoes: the ASICS Gel Nimbus 25 and the adidas Ultraboost Light 23. Both are top-of-the-line running shoes designed for maximum cushioning and comfort. But which one is the best choice for you? Let's find out!
ASICS Gel Nimbus 25: like running on cotton
The ASICS Gel Nimbus 25 are the latest addition to ASICS' popular Nimbus series. Designed for runners with a neutral stride, these shoes stand out for their high cushioning and exceptional comfort. The PureGEL technology in the forefoot and rearfoot absorbs shock and provides a smooth transition, while the Flyte Foam Blast ECO+ technology in the midsole offers excellent cushioning and fluidity in every stride. In addition, the engineered mesh in the upper enhances breathability and provides a secure, personalized fit. But what really makes the Nimbus 25 stand out is their soft, squishy feel, like running on cotton.
For medium-weight to heavy runners looking for maximum cushioning, softness and running comfort.

adidas Ultraboost Light: lightness and reactivity
On the other hand, we have the adidas Ultraboost Light, a true revolution in the design of adidas running shoes. They are up to 30% lighter than their previous version, thanks to the new Boost Ultraligth foam, and offer 3% more energy return and a higher boost capacity due to their new geometry. The upper has been revamped to provide better support, and the trainer is also more sustainable. Although they have a stiffer feel than Nimbus 25 shoes, this firmness translates into greater reactivity, making them ideal for runners looking for an extra boost in every stride.
For medium to heavy runners looking for maximum cushioning without sacrificing extra reactivity in the race.

ASICS Gel Nimbus 25 vs adidas Ultraboost Light 23: which one to choose?
If you are looking for a trainer with a soft and squishy feel, the ASICS Gel Nimbus 25 could be the perfect choice for you. On the other hand, if you prefer a shoe with a harder but more reactive feel, the adidas Ultraboost Light 23 might be the best choice.
Price-wise, the adidas Ultraboost Light 23 are slightly cheaper than the ASICS Gel Nimbus 25, but both can be found at significant discounts.
In summary, the choice between the ASICS Gel Nimbus 25 and the adidas Ultraboost Light 23 will depend on your personal preferences and running needs. Both are high-quality running shoes that offer great cushioning and comfort—the final decision is yours!
