- We really enjoyed the second version of this shoe but had some problems with the upper. All that has changed and we're all in on this shoe. This is a really enjoyable lightweight shoe that we think a lot of people will fall in love with. The price point may be a little high for some, but there's a lot to love about it, including the fact that you can wear it out in public and not look like a suburban dad. Releases February 1 for $160.

We run legit miles in our shoes and provide honest, no BS reviews of running shoes, running gear, and running races.
The shoe looks great. However, at $160, I'm trying to imagine the scenario where I choose this over the Novablast.
I overpronate too much with the novablast since it’s a bit unstable so there’s my scenario lmao
@@LFKY13 Yeah, I can see how the Novablast might not be the best for overpronators.
We feel you on this
@@LFKY13 i heard the second version is much more stable
Interesting to see what price the Novablast 3 comes in, if it stays around $130 then some may have buyers remorse or not😉
Just ordered these for $69.99. I can’t wait to run in them and let you know how they feel!
I love muted white or light grey running shoes with no other flashing lights or colours on these, so asics nimbus lite 3 would have been added to my bucket list but at this price for an easy go daily trainer... I'll wait for any discount
“Pimps and playas wear all white” - Jerome from Martin. Far as the shoe, I can dig it!
Can’t wait to see your review of Nimbus 24. Love the look of Nimbus Lite 3 but the FF blast + of Nimbus 24 is equally tempting…
Nimbus 24 is legit... standby for the review
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Wow! Never knew Negan was into running! Got to get in shape running from zombies for 12 seasons!
looks great and very tempting to try it out BUT I've discovered lately the 8mm to 10mm drop is causing me issues in my calf muscles.
Higher drops are easier on the calves 🤔
All in on the winter grit. When you sendin the merch??
Since the patches are based on distance, we ship at the end of the challenge.
That’s a rich mans daily trainer … all I have is Grit bring it on
merry x-mas to all of you guys! very nice content (i prefer studio reviews than street)
such shoes are underestimated and is good that u review them because they are really good.
asics colours are dope, in my opinion they do the best colour packs, also the fit is perfect for me in novablast 1&2.
looking forward for ff blast +
happy holidays
I’m just here for Thomas’s vocal stylings.
Best channel.
This show looks great! I wish they'd have went with the FF blast+ midsole on it though. I have the Gel Nimbus 23 Knit right now that are still holding up great. Hopefully the Nimbus Lite 4 has FF+ when I'm ready to get another pair
The color combo alone adds to its salability appeal. Searched unsuccessfully online for the men’s version last week :( Just waiting to snatch a pair.
Nimbus 2 was awesome! cant wait to get these! When can we expect the Nimbus 24 review?
First week of new year! It's a great update
I think I’d lean more toward the Nimbus 24 because of the FF Blast+, which there was a little bit of that in the Kinsei Blast, which I love, but for the price, it’s hard to beat the Novablast 2 at $130. Even if Asics brought the price down to $120 to compete with the Pegasus, it would cost the same price as the new Cumulus (which has FFBlast) and the Novablast. They should have kept it at $150, or even gone $140. It looks like a good shoe, but that Kinsei Blast (though a bit bonkers) is super comfortable.
Good thoughts
asics is BACK
I think for sure. They have finally shed their old fashioned dad brand image imho. They had a good 2020, and even better 2021, and it's looking like 2022 will be the best year yet for Asics
Seems like most ASICS releases are going up $10/pair starting with the GT-2000.
That is a beautiful shoe!
CMON ASICS PUMP EM OUT WE WANT THEM, IN AUS
I’m with you on the cost, too much. At $160, it’s in the Endorphin Speed zone and while they are different in their stated function, the Speed is a better buy.
Speed is way less stable. Totally different customer
Speed baby
Marty Mcfly y Negan anunciando unos excelentes acics. Super cómodos.
Hey guys, how durable is the mesh? Was using Gel-Cumulus 22 and I got holes on both sides where my pinky finger is, and I only had it for 2 years, was using them for walking mostly. Is L3 more resilient?
Best looking white shoes, hopefully they will be 100 dollars Thanksgiving 24
For $160…. There’s better options! The Novablast 2 probably performs better and it’s cheaper. Or am I missing out on ?
Ive got the nimbus lite 2, and while they are super comfortable for walking, the cushioning seems to bottom out a bit while running. Any thoughts on this or improvements?
It's gonna be the same
Do you guys think it makes sense to pick this up on discount as a slightly lighter faster daily shoe if you already have the 24? Or wait and see if the lite 4 has the ffblast+? I also heard the lite fits a bit wider in the forefoot and mid foot compared to the 24 if you have a narrow foot. Did you both find that to be the case? Thanks!
Still happy with this shoe, no need to wait for a v4
Thanks!
How many guys do you guys run a shoe on before making a full review?
Would you recommend these or the Nike zoom x invincible for a daily trainer if you can get them for the same price?
We prefer these, but some people love the huge stack of ZoomX, just depends on your preference
@@Believeintherun 🙏🏽
I'd like to see Asics add a blak tread. Shoes like this that just puts a tread mold into the midsole e.g. most HOKA shoes....seems unfinished to me. ..Don't know why ALL shoes don't have a "tread layer"...
I did not get great durability in the outsole of a few Asics in 2021. Like the Nova Blast 1 , Gel-Cumulus 23, Gel-Nimbus 23 and especially the GlideRide 2 that the rubber ( even in the heel area !) desappeared in less then 100 miles.
It seems that Asics is changing the components of their AHAR+ next year even if the design is not changing. Hopefully the durability will increase.
This Nimbus Lite 3 for that price and probably coming with this same 2021 's rubber ... I pass .
Never heard this complaint before. Can you provide more details? Weight & height?
@@Believeintherun I have right now 76kg ( ~167 pounds) . In 2020 I was 3kg heavier and still my Cumulus and Nimbus 22 lasted near 200 km more then the 23rd version.
I got and have used about 12 running shoes in 2021 and only my Asics rarely pass 300 km. My Nike Vomero 15 & Pegasus 38 Mizuno WR 25/,Sky Neo 2 all passed easily 500 km and the outsole were still usable for running. I got this month my Adidas Adizero Adios 6 and it has already 120km and the outsole is New .
I either had extremely bad luck with my Asics ... I'm a fan of the brand but I'm getting sick if paying a lot cash for their shoes and all of them have either bad outsole or upper durability.
@@MiracleWarriors I'm 5'5 and 123 lbs. I had outsole rubber loss/wear major on the Nimbus Lite 1. That was disappointing. I really like the Flytefoam and it noticeably got dead around 300 miles but I pushed to 400 and that was too much because they were gone. The upper was too big for my narrow feet and seemed to stretch out more over time. I didn't try 2nd version due to ugly women colors. I am an Asics fan and may give the Lite 3 or the Nimbus 24 a try. My Novablast 1 are also a bit big in the upper but I like the FF Blast (outsole has held bit better than the Nimbus 1).
@@saramims1592 if Asics wants to follow New Balance and Saucony's footsteps by making amazing lightweight and super comfortable running shoes but that don't last too long ... Go ahead then , but Asics used to be like Mizuno where their shoes last 600 miles minimum .
Anyways, for a change , I will start 2022 with a high cushioning shoe from Adidas . Just not sure between the Adistar or the Ultraboost 22 but I know that the outsole will last on both ...
Robbie so stoned here
Is Grit only available to US residents?
Free for outside of US, just can't get swag. Sorry, it's just logistically too difficult right now for our small team
Are they that much better that I should return the Nimbus Lite 2’s my wife got me for Christmas and wait on the 3’s?
Nothing wrong with the ride of the Lite 2, we just think the upper is so much better
@@Believeintherun thanks for the reply. Maybe I’ll keep the 2’s and get the 3’s later in the year. ASICS has a killer 40% off military discount I like to take advantage of.
@@b_fitnik 💯. Love how ASICS brings discounts to veterans and healthcare workers among other services they rock
@@JB-hq9yj yeah I agree. No other place offers discounts like ASICS. Ended up sending the Lite 2’s back and got another pair of Magic Speeds for $75. They upped the discount briefly to 50% last week. Crazy. I almost feel like I’m stealing them. I also like Saucony (20% off) and New Balance (25% off) but their discounts aren’t close to ASICS
@@b_fitnik Yea I totally agree. NB adverts their discount but it never works when you try to actually apply it. I'm really digging what ASICS does for service discounts, the work they do with NAMI, and how they are using mostly recycled materials on all of their shoes now without sacrificing performance. They just have a really decent vibe all in all and for someone who qualifies for their discounts it makes it really hard to spend my money anywhere else. I jumped on that 50% too and also picked up Magic Speeds last week for that crazy price. Grateful.
Nimbus Lite 2 I'm down to the foam on the lateral outsole after 280km. Disappointed with that as the original nimbus always lasted ages. Won't be buying this one Asics.
I don't love that it is white!
It's funny how sport shoes were white for decades but now I can't imagine myself in them
Island boys 😂😂😂😂
Hate the tongue,that was the turn-off for me with the 1st nova blast,too long
