Overview

We think this is a shoe the ASICS line has been calling out for. The 2000 series (now on the 2130) has sensibly and wisely evolved with each new launch without making any bold jumps. And why would you when you have such a strong, credible shoe. But we feel that has led to a gap to where the Nimbus is compared to the supportive 2130. This 3000 nails that problem. The 3000 series looks to be a deluxe version of the 2000 series and does the job more convincingly that the Empire which previously sat in this price position. This shoe has great cushioning with a springy feel as well as good support. It is not as light as the 2130 (20g different in a UK 8) but the difference isn't anything to worry about in a training shoe. Fans of the 2120 looking for a little more should go for this one. Gender specific design in the midfoot and upper.
