The twenty-fourth Nimbus was the real break in the line. ASICS dropped FlyteFoam Propel for FF Blast Plus, a compound it claimed was around fifteen percent lighter, fifteen percent softer and twelve percent bouncier than the FF Blast foam already used in the Novablast. The shoe came out about twenty grams lighter than the twenty-third while feeling noticeably softer underfoot.
To keep a soft foam from wandering, ASICS built dual-density work into the midsole and widened the platform, which is how a neutral shoe holds a line without a support post. The upper went softer and roomier at the same time. Reviewers were broadly positive and consistent about one weakness: the outsole wore quickly and the soft midsole marked easily.
This white and black pair shipped in spring 2022. Retail moved to $160, a ten dollar rise over the twenty-third that arrived with the new midsole rather than in place of it.
