The Nimbus was sold on a feeling from the start. When ASICS built the first one in 1999 the brief was that it should feel like running on clouds, and the name followed from that rather than the other way round. Comfort language has run through the line ever since, and through the rest of the industry too; every brand's most-cushioned trainer is described in the vocabulary of pillows, air and weather, because softness is the one property a buyer can assess in a shop in thirty seconds. The twenty-third edition delivered it through engineered mesh over FlyteFoam with GEL at both ends of the foot, a balanced arrangement rather than the maximal one the line later adopted. Smokey rose with pure bronze is warmer than most of that generation's range, which ran heavily to blues and greys.
