I purchased the Asics Nimbus-26 shoes and was shocked when the left shoe developed a hole after only five months of use. I bought the shoes from Boyner, so I sent them for inspection through the store. I included detailed information about my usage, as I am an amateur runner, and even provided data from the Asics app to validate proper use.
After 10 days, I received a rejection notice stating that there was “no production defect.” Customer service offered no clear explanation, only repeating, “No manufacturing defect was found” and even suggesting I might have chosen the wrong size. This is absurd, as the photos show no signs of improper fit or deformation.
I also reviewed complaints on consumer platforms and found 32 other grievances about the Nimbus-26 series, many citing the same issue: holes developing in the upper material. Examples include:
Complaint on September 4th
Complaint on August 30th
Complaint on August 24th
Complaint on August 6th
It’s clear that the Nimbus-26 series has a chronic quality issue with its upper material tearing prematurely. For a product priced between ₺6000-₺8000 and marketed to semi-professional runners, this is unacceptable. Asics must acknowledge this defect and provide a resolution. I demand a replacement or refund for this subpar product.
Five months after purchasing my Asics Nimbus-26 shoes, a puncture appeared on the left sole. Since I bought them from Boyner, I sent them in for review through their channel. While submitting the shoes, I mentioned that I am an amateur runner and provided detailed usage records from the Asics Runkee...
On September 14, 2024, I purchased a pair of Asics Nimbus 26 sports shoes from Intersport Bursa Downtown for ₺5,839. After about six months of use, the fabric around the left big toe area started to unravel and form a hole, which gradually grew larger. In March 2025, after noticing this issue, I ret...
I purchased a pair of Asics Gel Nimbus 26 running shoes from the Asics store in İzmir İstinyePark and used them only 3–5 times for light walking. However, after such limited use, holes appeared on the upper mesh of both shoes. Experiencing this kind of defect after such minimal wear has been a major...
I purchased a pair of Asics Gel-Nimbus 26 running shoes about 7 months ago, and I’ve worn them sparingly—only during races and occasional training runs. Despite this limited and careful use, the toe mesh area has already started tearing, and holes have formed in the front part of the shoe. I’ve log...
The Asics Gel-Nimbus 26 running shoes I purchased completely fell apart in just one year—and I’m not talking about heavy-duty use. I run around 20K per week, which is considered light to moderate by any standard. What’s frustrating is that Asics promotes this shoe as a top-tier model built for profe...
