    Fit is the biggest factor for me followed by price. New Balance fits me better than any other brand as I need a wide and high toebox and a lot of midfoot volume for high arches. The 1080v13 was $122 in November in the US so I just picked up a pair. I do like the 1080v12 and those are even cheaper now. My daily trainers is the 880v12 that I bought for about $70 and use the 1080s as recovery shoes. Good comparison on the two models.

    Last year the Gel-Nimbus 25 was the most soft and cushioning shoes of 2023. Defeating in max comfort and luxury shoes like the Invincible 3, NB 1080 v13 or the Wave Sky 7. But since the Gel-Nimbus 26 is now less soft and a bit less luxurious but gained much more stability, grip etc .... the 1080v13 is now softer them the newest Gel-Nimbus ! This was weird that some brands keep switching from max soft to less soft or vice-versa. I guess the potential champion of softness this year will be between the More v5 and Mizuno Wave Sky 8. The Nimbus 26 is awesome and all ( I'm loving them), but it is now a.bit behind for those who were looking for shoes to run very slowly with ultra soft cushioning ( Gel-Nimbus 25) .

    Hi Aubrey! I just did a trial in the 1080s and was hoping to love them, but the fit on these big toes was not it! I could feel the seam under my bunion area with every step. So unfortunate! I haven't ran in Asics for several years, but I do have a pair of Novablasts en route to me for a trial as well. we'll see how those feel on these feet.

    There is a significant difference in the way the upper feels. On the New balance it's very close to the top of your foot, like a second skin, as New balance themselves put it. The Asics gives you a bit more room to breathe. Haven't used either long enough to say which I prefer, but there is definitely a difference

    Oh man... And I just got the 26s for $93. But after listening to your review, I'm leaning more towards the 1080 v13. It's much lighter, softer than the 26, and much more breathable than the 25. Not a runner, I don't even jog, just need a soft and light daily shoes to walk around with in a tropical country. Oh well, I'll probably get the 1080 v13s as well, could get one for around $100, just sucks that the colorways or pretty generic. How's the sizing on the Nimbus 26 and 1080 v13? They said that the Nimbus 26 is narrower and Asics are generally a tad smaller than shoes from Nike. Should I go half a size higher compared to the 1080 v13?

    Im 90 kg and 1080p gave me heel slippage ..test 17 May 2024. Whereas the Nimus 26 does not do that. For lighter weight categories, the 1080p is the right shoe ane will not slip...but it has a smaller heel cup than the nimbus... and yes...Nimbus 26 is better than Nimbus 25 in the overall balance.
