Our read

The Nimbus Mirai positions itself as a max-cushion daily trainer built around ASICS' sustainability goals, using FF BLAST PLUS foam, a recycled knit upper, and a TerraCycle take-back program. Manufacturer material points to a soft, protective ride aimed at neutral runners logging easy and longer miles, but no independent testing is available to confirm real-world ride, fit, or durability claims.

Ride

Soft, protective daily ride built on a tall 35 mm heel stack with an 8 mm drop, prioritizing comfort over ground feel or speed.

Fit

Standard width only in a neutral, plush upper; runs true to size with a well-padded heel collar typical of the Nimbus line.

Best for

Neutral runners logging easy and recovery miles who want maximum soft cushioning and recycled materials.

Avoid if

You want a responsive shoe for tempo work or need added stability, as the soft high stack feels vague at pace.
