Wide sizing is the least glamorous part of a running range and one of the most useful. ASICS builds several of its road models on 2E and 4E lasts, and the twenty-fourth Nimbus was offered in the 2E width alongside the standard fit, giving runners with broader forefeet the same FF Blast Plus midsole rather than a downgraded alternative. That foam was the generation's headline change: the brand positioned it as lighter, softer and springier than the FF Blast used in the Novablast 2, and reviewers found the 24 quicker and less protective-feeling than the 23 it replaced. The Nimbus itself dates to 1999, arriving alongside the Cumulus and settling into the role of the range's maximum-cushion daily trainer. Light Steel is a muted blue-grey, the kind of finish that ends up on specialty running-shop walls rather than on release calendars, and it is exactly the finish a wide-fit buyer is most likely to find actually in stock in their size.
