The twenty-third Nimbus is the last of the pre-FF Blast Plus generation, and reviewers at the time noticed the foam was already drifting. The FlyteFoam in its midsole felt less dense and livelier than any earlier version, closer to the bouncy compound in the Novablast, with a FlyteFoam Propel layer above it in the rearfoot, two foams of similar density that made the ride uniform rather than layered. Structurally it was tidied up too: a filled-in arch, a sleeved tongue and a pared-back plastic midfoot insert produced what one reviewer called the most runnable Nimbus in years. The 24 that followed would go lighter and faster; this one was still built for comfortable plodding. Black with white is the wide-fit buyer's usual choice, and wide sizing on a max-cushion shoe is worth more than on most, since a tall midsole is unforgiving of a foot pressed against its walls.
